About Viv
Viv Web Solutions is a small and growing design and development agency focused on honing great craft and elevating great causes.
We take every new project as an opportunity to keep iterating toward excellence — upping our game in design, functionality, and the leanness of our processes. We are proud of consistently finding the most strategic solutions to advance the missions of our clients, about 85% of whom are non-profits — from national advocacy organizations to world-class universities. Causes we have supported with our work include: progressive political candidates, public health, climate change mitigation, civic engagement, voter turn-out, local journalism, and education. We have also built sites for publications and for resource libraries. We are developing a resource library solution and protocols for health communications materials, supporting the public health field.
A significant amount of our work also may over time come from Colleges and Universities, as our sister company is Viv Higher Education. (Vivhied.com)
Our partially-distributed team includes a creative director, marketer, graphic designers, WordPress front-end and back-end developers, and auxiliary talent brought in on a per-project basis, such as copywriters and photographers. We’re looking for someone to be in the center of the action and own the success of our projects.
