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 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.

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!

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.

As a start up company in 2001, PetroSafe contacted The Designsmith to help us with the original design of our website. Not knowing where to start, Paul shared some great ideas with us, and after only a few days ... we were up and running. Paul was extremely easy to work with and he managed to keep our startup costs within our budget. After we were in business for few years, we again contacted the Designsmith to help with the design of our on-line student registration and credit card payment system. Once again ... Paul came through for us with an excellent system that will even allow us to enter and update our upcoming training events with an easy to use administration page that is linked to our website. We receive a lot of positive comments on our website design and we strongly recommend that you let the experts at The Designsmith design you website.
Carl Anderson, CFPS, President - PetroSafe Technologies
Thank goodness for Paul and The Designsmith. We talked to other people and they wanted so much money while Paul offered a simple plan of action that is getting great results - and we can afford it! Thank you!!

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.

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.

Paul Miller, The Designsmith, is an outstanding web site designer who has built two excellent sites that have been very good for my business. Lapolitics.com, launched in 2002, has stood the test of time by continuing to look and work very well. Howtogetelected.com, in 2011, achieves the very professional look that befits the national audience it aims to attract.. Paul works quickly to offer and modify design ideas, collaborating with me at every step. He has a strong sense not only of what looks good but what sells.
John Maginnis, Publisher - LaPolitics Weekly / How to Get Elected
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.

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
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.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work The Designsmith has done for LIPCA Insurance Agency during the past year. Based on that work, I enthusiastically recommend The Designsmith as an effective partner in the ever critical area of website design and development. Ultimately the look and feel of a website is the measure of a website designer, and the results speak for themselves! The Designsmith has performed exceptionally well and based on these results, LIPCA will continue to be a key partner in the future.
Allen Herring, IT Manager - LIPCA Insurance Angency
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.
Marge Campane, Visual Artist/Owner - Graphite Garden
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.
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
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.
Valerie Bargas, Partner - Kinchen, Walker, Bienvenu, Bargas & Reed
Paul Miller designed the first website for my company. Over the years, we lost touch and my company moved to another vendor. However, once when it was time to revamp our site, I came right back to where I was most satisfied. Paul has great insight on web design, customer and quality of service is great, and his prices cannot be beat for what is received in return. He is straight forward with his suggestions and/or recommendations, and definitely knows his stuff. I love working with him....he makes this part of my job much easier.
Shawana Rucker, IT Director - SSCBR
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
We needed to redesign our website and had a very difficult time dealing with our previous web designer. After our first meeting with Paul, we knew he was the perfect guy for us! He was very easy to work with and he made the whole process a much more enjoyable experience! We love the design he came up with and look forward to working with him again on more projects! Thanks Paul!
