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. He is also very patient with his more technically challenged clients like myself. In all, Paul Miller is a consummate professional and creative talent. I would recommend The Designsmith for any web design project.

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!

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.

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. Again, thank you for the results!
Allen Herring, IT Manager - LIPCA Insurance Angency
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 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 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.
Brian Juban, Partner - Keegan DeNicola
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!

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.

Hello, I am very happy with the website created by the Designsmith for my new business, Red Stick Refinement. I have received so many compliments, I am beyond pleased! Paul's work is unique and eye-catching, but at the same time professional and organized. I highly recommend his work! ~April
April Setliff, Owner - Red Stick Refinement
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
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.

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.

I'm a visual artist who learned to type on a typewriter rather than a computer keyboard and I m not savvy with computer programs. While I wanted to create a website for my artwork, the idea was intimidating. With Paul's encouragement, I took the plunge and am glad I did. Paul designed my website and logo and created complementary 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
We have worked with Paul for over 10 years for our webhosting and graphic design needs for our marketing campaigns. Paul is not only professional, but he is consistently patient and responds to every need we have quickly. If you are looking for a webhost or graphic designer that truly cares about delivering excellent service, choose Paul. I recommend Paul to anyone looking for webhosting or graphic design support because I am confident that anyone who uses Paul will be 100% satisfied!

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.

We have used The Designsmith to design several of our companies websites. Paul is very easy to work with and will come up with the perfect answer for your webpage design.
Leslie Hornyak, IT Director - PBOA/Risk 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. From our experience, forget about the web based, do-it-yourself designs that are available. You will waste a lot of time trying to learn how to design your site and in the end you will not be pleased with the product. 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. The end product is an affordable and cost effective investment that will share your vision, properly market your business and bring the dividends that you deserve.
Carl Anderson, CFPS, President - PetroSafe Technologies
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!
