Advertising Design
If there's any place that our old-school roots in the newspaper business come to play it is print advertising design and layout. To date we've put together ads and campaigns for magazines in Baton Rouge, across the country and around the world and have many a busy client to show for it.
Throughout the advertising design process we'll work with you to make the connection between you and your target audience and show you how advertising principles, when properly applied, will guide your reader through your message and encourage them to act - to call, to find your website, to get more, to talk to you!
We'll work with you to find the right place to buy your media, but we're not in it to make money off the media buy - we only charge for the time and materials necessary to put the pieces together.
We know you would like us to make this easy for you and we would be happy to do just that so we encourage you to get in touch to find out more about how this works and then decide if it is right for you. CLICK HERE to contact us or call (225) 336-5444.
Paul was given pieces and parts of information and photographs over several months and he masterfully melded it all into the website that we had envisioned. I appreciated his patience, suggestions, light humor and guidance throughout the entire process. He mastered the project flow wonderfully, hit all of the deadlines and gave soft reminders of what would or should be addressed for upcoming milestones. Staying on time and on budget were very important factors. A pleasure to work with and superbly knowledgeable in his field, I would recommend Paul for your marketing, website and other IT projects.

I contacted The DesignSmith on a whim because I needed a custom sign designed quickly and had no clue as to a design layout. Paul immediately got back with me from my email request, asked a few questions, and delivered an outstanding product in 48 hours. Highly recommend The DesignSmith for any kind of digital design services and I'll certainly be back for future projects!

The Designsmith created exactly what we wanted for our website. It is now polished and projects the image we want our company to convey. The designer that assisted us was extremely patient with our requests, contacted us with answers, and revisions promptly, and most of all, created an excellent design... all this within our budget. We highly recommend anyone interested in a design for their site to contact The Designsmith.

Our company has worked with The Designsmith now for almost one year. When we began we had an idea of the look and feel we wanted for the website. There was very little knowledge on our part of what getting to that point involved. Paul made this process very simple. After a couple of brief meetings he began design and we were able to actually see what the site looked like as it was developed. We launched the site in July of 2008 and since that time we have had absolutley no problems of any kind with our website. We have recieved many positive comments from our customers about the new appearance and ease of use of the new website. There have been a couple of changes that we have made from the company side and i have to add that in these cases, Paul was immediately available and the changes happened in a 24-hour period. This was very important to us. In all, we have had a very positive experience working with The Designsmith on our website from beginning to end.

Working with The Designsmith for developing our company website was a pleasure. He worked closely with me on a daily basis making changes and replying to all questions and concerns we had.

Bob Nelson, President - NSP Inc.
It is always tough to pull together a group of people who need to agree to one idea for a website to accurately represent their business. I found that Paul really understood our vision and continued to give us ideas until we were satisfied. Once we were ready to pull the trigger on the project, Paul consistently followed up to make sure we completed it! We are very pleased and highly recommend his company.

The Designsmith did a website reconstruction for us adding a substantial amount of content and refining the overall look of the site. I was very impressed by the steady communication about options, styles, etc., and also with the suggestions made that were above and beyond what was required. The entire website is better organized and there is an excellent content manageability program I was able to use with ease immediately. We are very satisfied and look forward to continuing our relationship with The Designsmith!

When it came time for a new website, I came to Paul with the goal of creating a website that would reflect the experience of visiting our gallery in person. The end result is even better than I anticipated. Equally as important, Paul was a pleasure to work with in the design phase and really took the time to understand our business and the message we wanted to send. The end result is a website that we are proud to have our name on. Thanks Paul!

The Designsmith has been doing web design for us and our customers for over 5 years. We do business with them for two main reasons--they're SMART and EASY TO WORK WITH. Whether the required site is for information purposes only, or it integrates with a complex database or other application, we can always rely on The Designsmith to create a working and affordable solution.
Mark DiBiase, President - Infinite Concepts, Inc.
I got a little nervous when tasked with putting up a complex website for Louisiana's 200th year anniversary and only a week to do it. At the end of the week, the site was to be unveiled at a travel summit. There was no wiggle, just 168 hours and counting down fast. My web team was locked up with projects and did not have the design skill to do the project quickly. I remembered that we had worked quickly and smoothly with Paul at the Designsmith on a website for CISD a few years past. I gave Paul a call and enlisted his assistance. He did the impossible and whipped the site into shape with 24 hours to spare. The Department and the Bicentennial Commission are delighted with the site. Several mentioned how much they enjoyed working with Paul. They were also pleased with his reasonable rates and willingness to work nights and weekends to complete the project. Several of my colleagues have approach me with requests their sites, maintenance, facelifts and hosting be transferred from other web design firms to Paul. They were all impressed with his professionalism, dedication and most of all, the final product: louisianabicentennial2012.com.
