ABOUT US
Nice to meet you.
(After this introduction, it’s all about YOU!)
THE FRONT OFFICE.
Kathleen Kroll Romana
Founder, Creative Director, Webmaster, WordPress Specialist, Graphic Artist, Helping Hand and more.
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. Personal service is a the heart of the work I do with Small Business owners, enthusiastically creating impressive web sites with a purpose: to help convert online searchers into loyal customers.
A successful working relationship is based on good communication. We focus on learning all about your business, listening closely, responding to all your questions, and addressing all your concerns. We exchange lots of feedback throughout the process, so there are no surprises.
The resulting website will be an asset to your business. Plus, you’ll get outstanding service from the Viva team before — and after– the website is launched. Professional, but also personal, we make each and every project “distinctive”!
THE BACK OFFICE.*
Viva Design Studio is a boutique studio specializing in designing great websites. However, Branding, Search Engine Optimization, Google Pay-per-Clicks, Social Media, Tech Support and Website Upkeep are very important services as well. To assure that all your web needs are met, I have a select network of trusted associates on hand that I collaborate with. I act as a coordinating liaison for these additional services, but receive no commission or compensation from them.

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.
