Viv Web Solutions

Based in Somerville, Massachusetts, Viv Web Solutions is a small firm serving both private- and public-sector organizations across categories such as municipal government, nonprofits, publishing, and advocacy. The company was formally established in 2010 by Adam Friedman and Kalman Gacs, who first met as students at Boston University and later partnered to apply web software and strategy to client needs. Its team size is small (1-10 people), and its client work includes projects for organizations such as the Massachusetts Municipal Association, Climate XChange, Just Foreign Policy, and Exhale Lifestyle, spanning government communications, magazine publishing, and advocacy campaigns. The agency's declared services include search engine optimization, advertising, logo design, web design, and web development. Its websites are built with content-management panels intended to let clients update pages without contacting a developer, and with responsive design so sites display properly across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Beyond SEO and social media tools aimed at improving search visibility, the firm offers professional photography services for client sites and copywriting/editing support, either working with a client's existing text or supplying writers to develop content. Work is organized around sectors including higher education, municipal government, and nonprofit/advocacy organizations, with a portfolio that covers branding and website redesigns for these client types.
