The Designsmith handled a comprehensive redesign of our firm's site and we are extremely pleased with how it turned out. Paul demonstrated a clear understanding of our needs, coming up with a design that is eye-catching and unique, but still appropriate for a law firm. He was easy to work with and responsive, listening to our feedback but still providing us with his own take. We recommend him without reservation.

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. Best Regards.

As the author of the book "Smell The Popcorn: 12 Life-changing Secrets to Pop to the Top," I wanted an updated logo that would really 'POP!' Not only did Paul create a logo for my speaking business but also designed a brand for 'Pop to the Top' concept. I keep getting lots of praise for the new look logos. Paul understood what my business needed more than I did myself. Thanks Paul.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

When the staff at ROBO Dock & Door decided it was time to design a new website... we realized we had plenty of choices. We could design the site ourselves or choose from and endless list of web design companies. 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. Thanks again for a job... and website well done!
David Little, Vice President - ROBO Dock & Door
We are so grateful for your experience, expertise, and patience and are so proud to call this work of art and science our own!!! Thank you for every word of encouragement and advice we have seen for ourselves why those four references I called in the beginning wouldn't let me off the phone and kept singing your praises about how good and how fast you are. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We agree that you really are the best in town.

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!

I want to thank Paul @ the Designsmith for taking my website out of the stone age. He did an amazing job!! The site is easy to navigate for which we have already had complements on. I would recommend Paul to any of my friends looking to revamp or do minor updates to their sites. Very professional to detail. Myself being someone that has never done any of this type of work before, Paul took the baby steps with me until I caught on. Again thanks to The Designsmith for such an amazing site I have now.

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.

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.
