I had no idea of what my logo would turn out like when I started working with Paul. One thing I did know, however, was that I wanted to have something that looked professional and I could be proud of. Paul delivered and, even better, did so for what I thought was a very reasonable price. In addition to this and, perhaps, more importantly, Paul works with his clients with an attitude of patience and teamwork. As for Paul's patience, I found Paul to be a humble person that was easy to work with. Specifically, as my wife likes to point out, I have a type "A" personality who is used to asking lots of questions and getting fast answers. Additionally, I considered the creation of a logo a very important decision. Therefore, I asked a multitude of questions-probably many times the same ones. Many of these questions were also very rudimentary and were probably "dumb." In spite of this, Paul patiently answered them. For example, in a few instances during the creative process, Paul suggested color combinations and general themes that I wasn't sure about. However, after a few hours, I began to like his ideas better than the ones I was beginning to think of. Most importantly, Paul allowed me to be a large part of the process, even if it meant having to go back to his original ideas when I came to realize that his design ideas were better than my own. In fact, this probably caused him to have some extra work on his part. Before I decided to select the Designsmith, I talked to three other firms and they were all fairly insistent that I could limited input until the process was close to complete. I know now that this is because they probably know better what will work and my comments and ideas would slow them down. Still, for me, it's better to feel that I had a part in this creation. If you feel this way also, then Paul's the man to work with!

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

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 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. I've already said that their response is timely, but now we can do more on our timeline without waiting at all. Some recent updates to our conference registration portal have allowed us to offer more to our participants, making our conference more attractive to potential exhibitors and attendees. Includes some pretty sophisticated programming for the "shopping cart" functions we needed. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but their fees are reasonable too. Great work Paul...and guys behind the curtain.

Paul Miller's knowledge and skills coupled with his easy to work with manner has made my job easier. Paul has the ability to complete projects quickly with great attention to detail. It is truly a rewarding experience to work with Paul and his company.

Paul Miller is very responsive, very organized, and when you have a concern regarding the web page you get him and not any intermediary. He usually corrects any areas of concerns or new additions with in days if not hours. Obviously, the complexity may make revision take a bit longer but I want to emphasize his efficiency. 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. The most important part of any web page is who owns the web page itself (not just the content) at the end of the day. Paul's firm does the work, but the purchaser would own the web page. For most design firms, the web page is licensed to the purchaser and its presence on the web is contingent upon an ongoing contract with that web design firm. As you can imagine, owning your own page offers much greater flexibility thus this is a very valuable asset. (Plus it speaks to the firm's level of confidence that he does not try to anchor you to him by a licensing arrangement, it is his service, value, and creative product that will keep you with the firm. Paul's pricing has always been fair for both programming as well as hosting the web page for us. You are welcome to visit our site. While we keep it straight forward (in part due to the older patient population we serve), it works well for all of our patients.

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!!

Paul was reccomended to me by another satisfied client of his and I can honestly say that he has earned another! Our company chose The Designsmith for the design of our first company website. He patiently guided me through the process and was a pleasure to work with. His patience and creativity developed a perfect image of who we are and what we are about. I would highly reccomend The Designsmith for anyone looking for professional website design services.

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!

My name is Scott Lang - owner of Advanced Hurricane Solutions in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I had imagined a concept for our logo and thought it was fairly intricate and wasn't sure if it was right for our business, but was passionate about it. I had approached other logo designers and each mentioned it may be too intricate and were forcing us to go with a more simple concept. I had lost focus on the logo over time and had become discouraged and resorted to a more simple logo design and was about a day or 2 away from implementing it into our company until I discovered Paul & The DesignSmith. Paul asked me to send him what I imagined for our more intricate version of the logo and he came back with a great price and said his team could get it done. A few days later, he sent some rough pencil drafts of different versions, we chose one and through a couple of minor changes arrived at an incredible logo that exceeded our expectations. Paul, you were great to work with, very patient and precise in nailing our concept of our logo. The detail is amazing and I can't say enough how happy we are. Thanks for renewing my passion for this logo and now I know it is right for our company. This definitely gives me a new outlook on our business and am excited to start branding our company with it.

Scott Lang, Owner - Advanced Hurricane Solutions

Paul was very helpful with creating a brand for my company. He has a great approach of taking what a company does a portraying that in logo and website graphics. He listened to what our company offers as well as what we wanted it to look like in a logo and website. Being a designer myself I really appreciated the way Paul took care of the client(me) throughout the entire design process. I would highly recommend using Paul for any of the services he offers. You get what you want when it is all over. That's true customer service.
