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 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.
Becky French, PR / Media Coordinator - LHSAA
It was a pleasure working with Paul on my new website. I am very pleased with the final result and have been very impressed with the continued follow up to ensure any minor issues are addressed promptly. I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a new website. Thank you Paul!

To you folks that have avoided developing a web page for varioius reasons (lack of knowledge, expense, concearns regarding "what do I need", and other awkward questions), Mr. Paul Miller of The Designsmith will alleviate all trepidations. Lack of comfort with other web developers delayed us in launching Premier Constructors website for two years. However, after our initial meeting, Paul was prepared inside three weeks to launch our site. Don't you lose multiple years deciding!! Paul's ability to design, create, recommend, alter, and remain flexible with your ideas - and his quick response time - made this adventure painless. It never ceases to amaze me how working with the right person makes a perceived complication a breeze.
Joe O'Banion, President - Premier Constructors, Inc.
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
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.
Alan Colby, Owner - Colby Constructors
After interviewing several companies, we chose to work with The Designsmith's-Paul Miller for our website re-design. Mr. Miller looked at what we had and listened to what we wanted, which was a "custom design". He created and delivered a website that actually worked for us and our customers. Paul always responded quickly to any concern with a "Can Do" attitude which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his company and continue to work with him today.
Damon Levy, Owner - Cyclone Laundry & Internet Cafe
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!

Melanie Robertson, Chief Operating Officer - Home360, Inc.
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
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.
Tom Hanson, Recruiting Consultant / IT Manager - The Eastman Group LLC
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.

Overall it was a great experience! I would use him again and I would recommend him to others.
Kelly Johannessen, Director of Communications - United Methodist Foundation of LA
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.

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.

Andy McGinty, EVP/COO - LIPCA Insurance
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
