What our fans say about us.
DesignLoud has proven over time to be a great strategic partner for any business trying to be "known". Derek is a champion!
Derek Schmidt and his team are exceptional at web design/SEO and more. They recently helped me with a difficult Google issue and am so appreciative that they fixed it! I highly recommend DesignLoud if you want outstanding results!
Without a doubt the best in town for all things related to digital marketing and websites! Highly recommend!
Highly recommend DesignLoud! Derek was fantastic to work with. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire process so easy. His expertise and professionalism were next level. If you're looking for high-quality website support and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Derek and DesignLoud!
I had a great experience working with DesignLoud over the past three months! Vanessa and Colleen were absolutely phenomenal to work with. They handled all of our social media content and were always creative, responsive, professional, and just genuinely nice people. They made the whole process easy and enjoyable.
Derek is awesome to work with. He listened to what I said I needed help with and followed through on what he said he would do. Appreciate that he seemed to have my best interests in mind, not trying to up-sell me on things that wouldn't actually matter.
Top notch professionalism!
Derek Schmidt is truly an expert marketer! As a new small business owner, his tips and tricks have been extremely beneficial for me to embrace to help grow my client base! Thank you, Derek!
Derek provided an educational workshop with CFCC's Small Business Center regarding marketing and advertising with Google Ads. The class was very insightful and I would recommend his services.
The webinar was excellent. I am quite excited about using Claude now. Thanks Derek!
Derek is approachable, informative, and does a great job breaking down a real marketing campaign using an attendee's business as an example. He shares the tools and AI prompts he uses, which makes the class extra valuable.
Derek provided our company with some great marketing information and we'll definitely be using a lot of it going forward!
Derek is extremely knowledgeable and easy to learn from. He broke everything down in a way that actually made sense, even the parts of social media marketing that usually feel overwhelming. Highly recommend!
Good overview of how Google ads work, and how to leverage AI to get it done.
Derek's class on Email Marketing Excellence for the Small Business Center (CFCC) was awesome. It was one of the most informative web sessions I've attended recently.
I love how patient Derek is in explaining how he does things. He will also take time to answer all of your questions so you can work smarter, not harder!
Derek made incredible use of the time, delivered so much valuable information, answered everyone's questions clearly and kept the session engaged with just the right touch of humor. This webinar was a 10 out of 10 experience.
The DesignLoud team is a fantastic partner. DesignLoud is most concerned about taking pride in the end product and insuring that I was absolutely delighted in the outcome. The team remains with me as updates are needed. THANK YOU!

(07)Questions? We can help
Straight answers, no tech-speak.
We're here for all of your website, digital marketing and SEO needs. If your question isn't here, give us a call.
One of the first questions we ask you is what metrics you will use to determine if our work together is successful. That way we strategize, execute and measure the metrics that are most important to your business. Every client receives a custom reporting dashboard with real data on traffic, leads, conversions and revenue. We review these numbers together during monthly strategy calls so you always know exactly where your investment is going and what it is producing.
We literally obsess over our clients. We strive to make an impact with quick responses, fast turnaround times and real, measurable results. As a 3-time Best of Wilmington award winner, our team treats every project as if it were our own business. You get a dedicated strategist who knows your goals, your industry and your competition. We are not a revolving door of account managers. The same people who build your strategy are the ones executing it every single month.
We are not trying to be the cheapest, and we do not want to be the most expensive, but we do provide the best value for your money. Our clients save money on overhead by utilizing us as an outsourced marketing department for their business. Instead of hiring a full-time marketing team at six figures a year, you get experienced web designers, SEO specialists and content strategists working together for a fraction of that cost. We offer flexible monthly plans so businesses of every size can invest in real growth.
Our reputation is the second most important thing to us. The first is the relationship we have with our clients and making sure it is built on trust and transparency. We have been serving Wilmington businesses since 2011 and many of our original clients are still with us today. You own everything we create for you, you have full access to every account and platform, and you will never be locked into a long-term contract. We earn your business every single month.
Yes and no. We know what we are good at and we do not try to pretend otherwise. DesignLoud handles web design, SEO, paid advertising, social media, content marketing and brand strategy in house. If a project falls outside our expertise, we have a trusted network of professionals we have worked with since 2011 to accommodate most requests. From video production to print design to custom software development, we coordinate everything so you have one point of contact instead of juggling multiple vendors.
