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 am extremely impressed by the efficiency and creativity exhibited by the DesignSmith. They created a high quality product for us with minimal hassle on a very tight time schedule. The best web design experience I've had in all my years in the political internet communications business.
Patrick Bergeron, President - Category 5 Communications
We explored different web designers before choosing The Designsmith. We were impressed with his credentials and what he offered. It was a pleasure working with Paul Miller as he designed our company website. As a technical/ website design neophyte, he patiently explained every step of the design process to us.
Dr. Lance E. Brown, Founder-Owner - Public Awareness Theater
Paul Miller is a master craftsman, a skilled artisan in the field of web design. My professional colleagues/competitors have very nice websites, but they all look as though they were designed from the same template. My website, thanks to Paul, is totally different and unique. Paul's creativity made my website far more impressive and eye-catching than others in my field thus drawing more curiosity and interest of clients. Paul is innovative and imaginative. He is responsive to your needs, gets the work done timely at a competitive price. I recommend Paul without reservation.
Frank Panepinto, CFDE, CFE, CPP, SCLA - Forgery & Fraud Forensic Research Center
Miller Studios web, ad layout and logo designs have given MK Promotions the boost it needed to compete on a national level. We have enjoyed excellent initial results and continued support. It's been great to have Paul on our team!
Mark Kuehn, Owner - Newspaper Kiosk Sales
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
I am very pleased with The Designsmith. Paul was able to figure out exactly what I needed. He met those needs with professionalism and care. Also, he was very easy to work with and made my project enjoyable.
Carl Barkemeyer, Owner - Carl Barkemeyer, Attorney at Law
My new company needed a web presence, but I feared I would have to engage a web designer in a far off locale who didn't speak my language. I was introduced to the Designsmith by an old friend. The professionals at the Designsmith coordinated our needs; facilitated the necessary communication, and offered a vision of a final product. They turned it into reality seemingly overnight. I can't report being happier with a vendor in years! Their work was prompt, professional and poised. And when I have had changes to my site -- as I'm sure all web customers do -- the Designsmith has handled them in the same manner. I am a satisfied customer.
Jefferson Angers, President - Center for Coastal Conservation
I came to Paul with a website that someone had designed for us years ago and now needed some changes. The problem was we didn't know how to get into the account and couldn't locate the previous designer. Paul came in and rebuilt the site and helped clean it up. We never had any down time for the website and Paul had it fixed in a timely manner.
Bryan Jastram, - STI
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
When the staff at ROBO Dock & Door decided it was time to design a new website... we realized we had plenty of choices. Although the idea of doing the project in house was tempting, we new that ultimately we did not have the extra time to invest in such a project and we knew we wanted to get the project done quickly and professionally. Turning to the multiple choices in design companies, we chose The Designsmith and Miller Studios. Their ability to understand our goals and ideas precisely led to the design and roll out of a website that not only met but exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend The Designsmith to anyone or any company looking for a professional looking website.
David Little, Vice President - ROBO Dock & Door
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!
George Clark, President - Taylor Clark Gallery
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.
John K. Davis, Treasurer - Louisiana Association of the Deaf, Inc.
Paul Miller was easy to work with because he listened to our needs and respected our ideas. His created an ideal website for my business. It is exactly what I wanted and Paul made it come to life. Our business has increased and our customers say that it was easy to gather the information from our site. I will continue to work with Paul Miller. I love how he is patient and continues to perfect and tweak the website when needed. I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and high level of service.
Maggie Hebert, Owner / Manager - Executive Suites of Baton Rouge
After several bad experiences with website design crooks, I found The Desginsmith's, Mr. Paul Miller - what a great business decision. Not only will Paul build you a website he will build you one that can focus on your business and simply let everyone know who you are and feel like you are at home with his delicate touch. If you are looking to increase your business through the internet with a website that will do just that then The Designsmith will make you very happy. Again Paul it is a pleasure working with you as we grow our site and our business.
George Shaheen Jr., CEO - Jones Creek Cafe & Oyster Bar
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
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.
Curtis Ainsworth, Director of Operations - Multiple Teaching Systems, Inc.
I was very pleased with The Designsmith's creativity and ability to adapt the web design to our business' practical needs. A job well done!
Jeff Starkey, Operations Manager - Iberville Companies
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
The Designsmith has proven to be one of our most valued resources and sales tools at No Fault Sport Group. Paul continues to impress me with timely reponses to our many requests and his overall knowledge of the hidden "nuances" of the internet. In the ever changing world of the internet, it is comforting knowing that the Designsmith is a part of our team!
David Brantley, Owner / President - No Fault Sport Group, LLC
I would recommend The Designsmith's services to anyone. Everything we asked for was done quickly and to our satisfaction. Very nice and easy to work with.
