“The Viv team listened to what we wanted and executed. Meetings were minimal (which I like) and the ones we had were very productive. Even when we didn’t know what we wanted or what we wanted didn’t make sense, the Viv team helped us figure it out. We’ve seen tremendous growth in pageviews since the new site was launched. In the year since launch, we received prompt attention to our needs, and the execution and followup was ideal.”

“Kalman listened to our needs and wants and was able to produce the site we wanted. He was very responsive during the process and we even ended ahead of our original timeline! This helped us get out info to our investors during fundraising, which made a big difference. Kalman asked great questions to help drive our content. He understood well who our customers were, what we wanted to convey, and our ultimate goal for the site. I would highly recommend Viv for multi-segmented target markets, B2B, B2C, and virtually any other kind of business looking to redo their site. People have commented that they like the site’s layout, colors, how information was displayed…and it absolutely conveys our mission/objective. Thanks for the work.”

“In 2015 I hired the team at Viv Web Solutions to build a website and online donation platform for my campaign for Cambridge City Council. I got many compliments on the site’s design, and I think having such an eye-catching and professional looking site was a big part of what made me successful as a first-time candidate. After I took office in 2016 I hired Viv Web Solutions to launch an online forum to engage with constituents on local issues. In each case the team has been highly responsive, professional, and pleasant to work with, and the results speak for themselves.”
Jan Devereux
City Councilor
“Thanks so much guys!
I can’t say enough good things about ViV. The ViV Team beat all the tight deadlines we threw at them. We’d call on them in a pinch and they turned around graphics in hours for us. All the graphics struck the right tones, and elicited positive comments from supporters and staff alike. The site ViV created easily matches the quality and feel of other sites rolled out for prominent national candidates. At the same time, they made a site for us that was spot-on to match our candidate.
One of our biggest needs, and greatest challenges, was to keep the content on the site fresh. Kalman helped train junior campaign staff so they could make all the needed updates themselves. Also, the site was built with many elements that updated without us having to do any work–like a gallery that updates straight from Flickr, a video page that pulls right from Youtube, and sign-up forms that feed directly into our engagement system. This all made administration and updating easy and allowed us to focus on other aspects of the campaign.
The quality of ViV’s work is second to none, but they are priced competitively compared to other web design shops I’ve worked with in the past. However they blow them away with the quality of their work and their responsiveness. Highly recommended, and I look forward to working with them in the future on other projects!
Thanks again.”

“As a voting rights organization, MassVOTE needs to address the needs of multiple audiences, from first-time voters to long-time volunteers, from journalists to foundations. ViV web helped us map our audiences, our needs, and our internal capabilities, to build a site that we can quickly and easily modify, maintain, and expand. It looks great, of course — but more importantly, it helps us recruit new donors and volunteers while delivering information to voters who need it. ”

“Viv Web Solutions was recommended to me as having the tools and aesthetic vision to create the website that would best market our landscape contracting services. They created a site that is easy to navigate and beautifully utilizes professional photography of our landscape work. I really like the layout of the home page and the color scheme. I get compliments on it often. Kalman is very quick to respond and works with enthusiasm. He took my constructive criticisms and change requests with a smile on his face! He’s also very creative and had great suggestions for the site. I’d recommend Viv Web Solutions to anyone.”

“The webpage is fantastic, very clean in style and we get a lot of comments about how easy it is to navigate. The patients asked us many times who designed it and professional colleagues like the setup and it is easy to find information.”

“When we were looking to redesign our website, we had a lot of ideas about it and wanted a contractor who would get the design just right. I knew Kalman would bring lots of energy and ideas to whatever he was working on, and also that he’d talk about those ideas in a very open way. I also knew from his work as a sculptor, photographer, and visual artist that he has a keen eye for detail and proportion. I wasn’t disappointed. Our website is fantastic, and we’re very happy with it. I love the elegant simplicity of the site. The homepage manages to capture a wide range of information in an attractive and graceful way. The ecommerce page is set up logically and always works. And the logo he designed looks great and really fits the site. Kalman brought lots of good design possibilities to the table, he was open to our somewhat half-fledged ideas about how the site should look and operate, and he was skilled and patient enough to bring all of our ideas to a synthesis. I would recommend that Viv Web Solutions be placed in charge of designing, photographing, and creating anything that needs to be looked at or clicked on. ”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Viv Web Solutions’ online and graphic design services. ViV Web solutions worked with me to create a logo that really captured the style and feeling of my company and a website that is innovative, functional, exciting and visually appealing. They customized their design to support both the interactive content that I needed and my company’s unique style.”

“Kalman designed a handsome website for my father’s photographs at www.njayjaffee.com. His work was creative and thoughtful, and he put every effort into making sure the site not only worked technically and was easy to navigate, but also matched the artistic integrity and quality of the photographs themselves. I would recommend Kalman for web novices and experts alike.”

“Thank you for your work! I would like to commend your work on the IMBC site. I have been getting accolades on it from all fronts. Also, I appreciate that you were able to accommodate our tight schedule and you nailed the clean and clear design as I had envisioned it, and which works perfectly for the biotech industry. ”
Istvan Mazsaroff
President, IMBC
“One of my biggest concerns going into the web redesign process was the amount of work I would have to do – you can have the best web designer in the world, but you are the only one who really knows your business and can describe it better than anyone else can. But this process was surprisingly smooth, and Kalman made it easier than I thought it could be. Throughout our communication, the questions Kalman asked about my firm’s practice and the audience for our website demonstrated to me an ability to grasp things quickly and zero in on the essential elements of an effective site. The process from beginning to end was streamlined, and our website was completed in a very efficient manner. The style of the finished site fits exactly the way I want to present my firm. Explanations and descriptions on the site are informative without being too technical, and I am definitely impressed with the logo and website design. Comments from our business colleagues and others have been uniformly positive. I would not hesitate to recommend Kalman to any law firm – or any other business for that matter – looking to replace an existing website or build an entirely new one.”

His challenge was to preserve my firm’s minimalist branding concept and at the same time integrate all the bells and whistles of a Justia hosted website. He was inventive, collaborative and highly professional throughout the process. I am extremely pleased with the results and look forward to working with Kalman on future projects.”

“It has been a pleasure working with Kalman on grouptones.com. I chose Kalman for his clean effective designs, which were pivotal in realizing my vision for a unique map-based social networking site. People are finding the new site much more intuitive after the redesign.
Kalman honed the user-interface to make it clean, attractive, easy to use, with cool aesthetic features. These details throughout the site have made a huge difference! I also appreciated the close communication we had through-out the process and I look forward to working with him as the site grows and will be recommending his services to other web start-ups.”

“I hired Kalman to create a web site for my business. He was extremely easy to work with. He took my basic ideas and added value with his own creative suggestions about the look and design of the site. He also helped me with some of the technical issues of incorporating email, dealing with server issues and handling web hosting. The end product was very well done and the pricing was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Kalman to anyone for small or large web design projects.”
Virginia Cahill

“Kalman organized and did most of the execution for a mailing campaign for my biotech business, which is a small and quirky niche. I found his work as impressive as his motivation: proactive, thorough, prompt and responsive. It’s not easy to work creatively with feedback without losing either your momentum or your good humor, but he managed to do it, and due to his work we launched a campaign that I would never have had so much as the idea for myself.”
