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.
I was referred to Paul through a business associate and I'm happy that connection was made. Paul did a fantastic job of creating the look & feel of what I wanted for my website - along with an intuitive interface/navigation. Additionally, my project was on-time and on-budget. Highly recommend working with Paul.

Paul designed my website and logo and created beautiful business cards as well. Throughout the design process, Paul was readily available to answer questions and make suggestions. He also suggested my website name which is perfect for a visual artist working in graphite and drawing (excuse the pun) inspiration from my garden. Thanks to Paul's experience and expertise my website is easy for me to administer and for patrons to navigate. In addition to designing the site, he also gives me ideas for improving my Google ranking. I highly recommend The Designsmith. Throughout the process, Paul was very patient and professional while continually amazing me with the wealth of knowledge he brings to the process.

We were ready to add some new features to our website and Paul once again came through. He has helped us create a website that we are proud of and one that will grow with our business. Thanks Paul!

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. Not only did he listen to us he also made suggestions to the design and layout. If your looking for a web developer or digital graphics design The Designsmith is top notch. We are glad we went with Paul and even happier he was local.

It quickly became apparent why Paul came so highly recommended. Not only does he bring his vast experience and expertise to your project, but he is a pleasure to work with, very helpful and extremely patient as he guides you through the website development process. In the end, we were left with a great website and one unanswered question - 'Why didn't we go to him sooner?'
Jimmy McGee, Owner - NOVA Consulting, LTD
Our company chose The Designsmith for the design of our company website. Paul was phenominal to work with. He created a website design that worked perfect with the image of our company and our profession. I have, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for professional design services.

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.
Doug Bryant, IT Director - OLG/DCRT
I searched through 27 pages of Google images for pet urns and yours caught my eye first and after looking through hundreds of other websites, yours has the nicest pictures, was the easiest to navigate through, and your style was exactly what I had in mind. I look forward to receiving it. It will be a beautiful way to hold my memories.
Sarah, Pet Owner - Anonymous
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.
Angel McGee, Marketing - Red Stick Armature
This experience has been over the top. Your communication and patience with this process was impressive. Plus, your programing skills combined with your eye for design and background in writing, makes your one man show an incredible value. Thank you for your dedication to getting it right and all of the extras you have thrown in. Would do it again tomorrow. If anyone wants to call me about my experience, I will be happy to talk with them.
Richard Akin, MD, DDS - Oral Surgery
Paul Miller is very responsive, very organized, and when you have a concern regarding the web page you get him and not any intermediary. We have looked to other vendors for comparable services and Paul has always been the one to rise to the surface. His pricing is extremely competitive and in this area, he has always come out on top as the most cost effective (for web page design, maintenance, and web page hosting costs) of any vendor we have interviewed. The Baton Rouge Clinic's relationship with him has gone back many years and I have personally worked with him for over 4 years now.
Harold D. Brandt, MD, FACP, Medical Director - The Baton Rouge Clinic, AMC
Paul, Just wanted to thank you for providing us a reliable hosting service. Since moving from our previous provider we have experienced nothing but superb up time and responsive customer service. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Bob Nelson, President - NSP Inc.
Paul did a terrific job developing and implementing our new firm website. We are all very pleased with the process and would recommend him highly for those in need of similar services.
Michael Robinson, Shareholder - Kantrow Spaht Weaver & Blitzer (APLC)
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.

Paul Miller is easy to work with and shows a true interest in his clients' businesses. I have received many compliments on the website he designed for me. It is also easy to maintain and update.
John Maginnis, Principal - Louisiana Political Review
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.
The Designsmith created our site about three years ago. As a group of IT professionals, some with large web development staffs, we could have done the work ourselves. But for a number of reasons, we sought a firm that could do the work for us. That was a good decision. The quality has been great as has been the timely response. As with most websites, ours has evolved to meet our changing needs. Paul and his staff have repeatedly enhanced the site and the administrative "backend" to allow us to make much of the information dynamic and within our control. The work includes some pretty sophisticated programming for the "shopping cart" functions we needed. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but their fees are reasonable too.
Mike Carl, President - The Louisiana Council of Information Services Directors
In today's world a website is such an important marketing tool for a company. I highly recommend The Designsmith to anyone who needs a professional, top quality website. Paul is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. He offers creative ideas to ensure that your site is the most effective it can be.
Carter Hill, Owner - Carter Hill Construction
Paul Miller was wonderful to work with on the redesign of our website. He was easy to work with, professional and completed our job in no time at all. Above all, he had the patience to slowly walk us through steps we didn't understand. He's great to work with, and we'll be repeat customers! Thanks again Paul!
