See how we take care of our customers' experience with reliability, top quality and more
We are both a website and social media client. I cannot say enough good things about Elizabeth (our social media manager) and Savannah (our accounts manager). Elizabeth is an absolute social media GURU. She works very hard at finding and creating content that fits our brand as well as remains fun and informative. We have dramatically increased the amount of social media followers since having Elizabeth as our social media manager. Savannah is a gem! She takes her responsibility as our account manager very seriously by regularly checking in, handling any issues that arise quickly, and being our advocate. Together they are a marketing dream-team! If you are considering a marketing agency, don't delay on signing with DesignLoud.

I can't really say enough about Derek and his team. My experience with DesignLoud was so starkly different from my experience with any other web designers or graphic artists that I have ever dealt with. They gave me exactly what I asked for and needed, and never tried to "upsell" me on things that I didn't. They cleaned up a HUGE mess that a former designer had left. They are very professional and knowledgeable but never speak over your head. The work is of the highest quality. But I guess I was most impressed with the reasonable price and the speed of the work. I have even had Derek make changes within hours. I realize this may not be possible all the time, but I know he cares about my business and about his work. I think Design Loud is just wonderful, and I am so thankful I found them.

We personally use DesignLoud for all of our marketing needs. It helps knowing we have a dedicated team handling this for us so that we can focus 100% on patient care. They are quick to respond and handle any issues when they arise. Elizabeth is the social media GURU and Savannah is so attentive as our account manager. I could not ask to be assigned to a better duo. Elizabeth works so hard at increasing our following and making content that is pertinent to our practice. Savannah always checks in, is fast to act on any issues that arise, and has become an amazing asset to have with any marketing questions. Both Elizabeth and Savannah have become one of the highlights of our month when they come to create content.

I highly recommend DesignLoud! We had another company fall short in the design of our online retail store. DesignLoud stepped in and took the lead, incorporating every facet of our vision for the site. They created a user-friendly website that perfectly captures our brand. Their team was professional and responsive. The project was completed on time, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. They paid attention to every detail, from the layout to the mobile responsiveness, ensuring a seamless experience across devices. We are thrilled with the final result and have already seen positive feedback from our audience.

DesignLoud is an outstanding company! After attending a Cape Fear CC Small Business Center webinar hosted by Derek Schmidt, CEO of DesignLoud, I gained valuable insights into social media marketing and how to craft a powerful online presence. The expertise Derek shared on optimizing content across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn was both actionable and insightful. DesignLoud clearly has a strong mission to help businesses achieve measurable results through innovative strategies. I highly recommend DesignLoud for anyone looking to elevate their digital marketing game!

I recently attended a seminar hosted by the owner, Derek Schmidt, who demonstrated how to set up and optimize Google Ad campaigns, and it was an excellent experience! The step-by-step walkthrough was clear, engaging, and super helpful for anyone new to Google Ads or looking to improve their existing campaigns. He covered everything from creating an account, structuring ad groups, choosing the right keywords, to optimizing ads for better performance and ROI. The tips on campaign optimization were especially valuable, providing actionable insights that I can implement immediately.

I have had a website for years but it wasn’t until DesignLoud recreated it that it became the perfect tool it was meant to be. Since then I have gotten more inquiries than I ever have. The company is run by excellent people that actually listen to your needs and respond fast. The customer service is outstanding. The knowledge base runs deep and the greatest part is that they never seem to stop learning. Every time I turn around they are adding more to their repertoire. I highly recommend DesignLoud for ALL your website needs and then some!

I attended a seminar that Derek hosted on the topic of Paid Social Marketing. Best class I've attended so far. Derek was able to stay on topic and get through all of his content in the allotted time while still providing meaty and relevant information. He went deep into truly actionable things to help our business with great examples and slides that will be easily followed post presentation. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Derek.

New Year’s Eve at Circa.
Great atmosphere; piano background for conversation.
Dinner service was superb. Promptly seated, drinks were as ordered and excellent.
Courses arrived in perfect timing and presentations were imaginative and tasty.
The vibe is as good as any big city restaurant; Chicago would be envious.
This place sets the bar in Wilmington.

Derek's online webinar was very insightful, and the information was presented in a way that was easy to understand. This training session about marketing using Chat GPT made me more aware of the information/resources I have at my fingertips so that I may continue to grow my small business. Thank you for a wonderful seminar and answering all of my questions!

As a new client of DesignLoud I could not be more excited to begin our partnership! Speaking with Derek left me feeling so informed and impressed with the data and recommendations that he presented after doing a review of our company website and social media sights!
If you have been considering revamping or building a new website I would highly recommend DesignLoud!
~ Jessica F
Derek and his staff have helped my business tremendously! I was clueless with how to advertise online and how to financially benefit from our website. He has, very patiently, walked us through the process. Most importantly, he makes himself available to me and my staff. Many times I need last minute adjustments to our website and he immediately responds and takes care of our needs.
~ Rebecca M
I attended Derek’s Mastering SEO training and was truly impressed! He breaks down SEO in a way that is easy to understand. He provided clear, actionable steps that I could begin implementing right away. I highly recommend Derek’s training if you are a small business owner that is looking to improve their online visibility!

Top Notch. From design to development to building an App for all platforms, these guys can do it all quickly and very reasonably. We have used MANY other developers in the past. None compare to DesignLoud. They really care about how your website does because they take it personally. Thanks a million! We wouldn't exist without you!

Derek Schmidt and his talented Design Loud team worked with me, a small business owner overwhelmed by social media, to develop an appealing, efficient, responsive website. They are innovative and consistently go ‘above and beyond’ to provide excellent service. Thank you Derek, Hannah, and Danielle!!!
~ Mary C
Derek just led a webinar talking about "on-site" SEO, and I'm astonished at the breadth and width of information and tools that he presented. It was a very informative and relaxed presentation that made the work possible given the number of tools he demonstrated and the goals on-site SEO should accomplish.

Wow, I just finished an hour online in a ZOOM training about ChatGPT through CFCC that was lead by thee Derek Schmidt of DesignLoud. SUCH an expert, WAY further down this road of AI, than I. THANK YOU for your wisdom today, Derek!

Attended an online seminar with Derek concerning Google Tags, and as a complete novice with marketing and analytics, I actually understood what I can do to understand user behavior. I even installed a tag manager on my website...I think... Thanks DesignLoud!
~ Adrian M
Great webinar packed with LOTS of on topic info that was very relevant to me as a solo business owner needing to learn more about marketing more effectively with keywords, etc. Was lovely to be able to ask questions and have them answered quickly along with all the content he delivered. Thank you!

Derek volunteered his time on a zoom meeting hosted by Cape Fear Community College. He shared his expertise and helped many new entrepreneurs on how to use mail chimp and chat GPT to increase their business. I am grateful for his generous help.

Not only is Derek Schmidt knowledgeable when it comes to marketing and webdesign, he can also explain relevant information in a way a non-expert can follow. I get my questions answered and can move my business forward with Derek's help.
