About Us Our Mission

When you work with us, you get more than expert website design and results-driven marketing strategies - you get a (caffeine-fueled) team dedicated to your (massive) success.

It all starts with understanding your business, your audience, and your specific goals. From there, we work with you to develop a comprehensive plan that crosses all the t’s and dots all the i’s.

Get To Know Who We Really Are Here's what really makes us different...

We believe in operating with transparency and integrity (our moms raised us right). And we work with you to make sure you have the tools and knowledge you need to grow your business and meet your objectives.

We’re not your ‘smoke and mirrors’ type of agency; performing mystical acts of SEO and PPC in a dark room somewhere. And we won’t overwhelm you with a bunch of tech-speak and expect you to know what we’re saying. Instead, we uncomplicate things. And make your online life easy. So you can do better things with your time.

Your website will be beautifully designed and completely optimized to meet your objectives. But, you’ll also have insight into our methods - we’ll explain why certain things work, and we’ll answer your questions.

Educating our clients on best practices and empowering them to proactively engage with their digital marketing is one of the ways we do things differently.

And because we know not everyone is as excited to read technical SEO reports as we are, we’ve made ours visually compelling. They break SEO down and make it easy to understand.

Or, if you so choose, you can have a totally hands-off experience, knowing your online presence is being expertly managed.

It's All About The Process Our Approach Can Be Broken Down Like This...

Clearly Define Goals.

During your onboarding, we’ll discuss your specific objectives and define what success looks like.

Develop A Smart Strategy.

With your goals clearly defined, we’ll work together to develop a smart strategy to achieve them. Every detail will be considered to ensure you get maximum results.

Execute Expert Implementation.

Once a strategy has been developed, putting it into action is the next step. And getting it right matters. Trust our experience to make the process smooth from start to finish.

Monitor and Schedule Regular Team Reviews.

With your project launched - be it a website, email sequence, or ad campaign, monitoring engagement, and measuring results is a critical step to meeting your objectives. We’ll keep an eye on everything - and we’ll keep you in the loop.

Pivot When Necessary.

Keeping an eye on the data is one thing, but you also need to know when something isn’t working or when it needs to be “tweaked” just a bit. We’ll analyze data, make adjustments, and pivot when needed to make sure you get the best results.

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.

Kimberly Pierce

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.

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!
