Loud Rumor is a website design company that specializes in designing websites using marketing and advertising techniques to stay ahead of the curve and outperform competitors that don't implement these same strategies. Noticing that many small businesses are attempting to design their own websites using basic programs available on the internet, Loud Rumor found an opportunity to help those companies that do invest in better online presence to stand out amongst their competition.

CEO, Michael Arce, says, "People have been able to make their own flyers and brochures for years, ever since Word, Publisher and other similar programs came out. However, most people still pay a professional to do them.  Why?  Because they know that their flyer or brochure, although informative, will still come off as cheap, generic and unprofessional when compared to their competitors.  The ironic thing is, most small business owners spend more money on print items than their website, even though more potential customers have access to their website than their print items."

History
Loud Rumor was founded in 2008 as Fast Rumor by Michael Arce in Peoria, AZ. The company changed it's name to Loud Rumor in 2009 when his close friends and family suggested to him that the websites that were being designed weren't recognized mainly for getting noticed quickly, but for standing out from competitors. Attempting to find a better fitted name, ideas that came up were: Great Rumor, Best Rumor and Better Rumor. Eventually, Michael suggested Loud Rumor as a possibility and it was agreed by everyone to be the best name, yet.

Philosophy
Loud Rumor believes that websites are created in order to send good, quality, accessible information 24 hours a day to potential customers and clients in hopes of eventually making them actual customers or clients. With so many websites on the internet, one can imagine the competition each company faces online. "If a small business just creates a basic website just to have a website, without researching competition, using the newest and updated tools, and sending the message in a way that statistics show attracts the visitors, then they might as well not even have a website," says Marjon Carlo, VP of Sales. "What's the point of having a beautifully designed business card with a website address on it that is pointed to a plain, boring and poorly structured website? More than 84% of people use search engines as their first option to find a service or product that they want or need. More than 90% of those people that do this will click on 3 or more options from the results page before making a decision. You're either that one company that gets picked, or you're not." ==
