ABOUT US
Nice to meet you.
(After this introduction, it’s all about YOU!)
THE VIVA TEAM.
THE FRONT OFFICE.
Kathleen Kroll Romana
Founder, Creative Director, Webmaster, WordPress Specialist, Graphic Artist, Helping Hand.
Equipped with a BS degree in Computer Science and 2 decades of IT experience at several major corporations in the NYC area, I switched gears and started Viva in 2006. Building websites is the perfect melding of my tech background and a lifelong passion for creative arts and design. I wear most of the hats here, from receptionist to designer and more. When I am not working, chances are I am dancing — 5,6,7,8 — at a West Coast Swing social, or traveling to a warmer latitude with my husband.
THE BACK OFFICE.*
Viva Design Studio is a boutique web design studio specializing in creating great websites for small business owners. We realize that Branding, Search Engine Optimization, Google Pay-per-Clicks, Social Media, Tech Support and Website Upkeep are very important services as well.
Through a collaboration of highly-regarded, independent creatives, Viva Design Studio is able to provide clients with a comprehensive digital experience that also includes branding, SEO marketing and post-launch site maintenance. Viva acts as coordinating liaison, however you’ll interact with them directly for these additional services*.

Viva? Yes, VIVA!
This was the closest I could find, then I shortened it to Viva:
From vivacious*: happy, lively and energetic in temper, conduct, or spirit.
*Compiled from Merriam-Webster.com.
viva**: 2006, reinterpreted: a joy for living, while doing what one loves.
**Kathleen Kroll Romana, web designer.
