I cannot speak highly enough of Paul for designing my new online shop website and editing my existing. It is everything and more than what I could have wished for. I knew as soon as I spoke with Paul that I didn't want anyone else to do my site. He is helpful, efficient, professional, always contactable and always one step ahead! Above all that he has a genuine interest in helping make your business a success - he is not just a web guy, he is an online business guru - a rarity. Highly recommended. Thank you heaps Paul :)

Hands down Paul is a genius when it comes to web site designs, search engine optimization and Google ad words. Accord could not be happier with the web site as it looks amazing and is now giving the Sunshine Coast locals the opportunity to find us easily and show /educate the potential customer about what we do and more importantly, just how good we are simply by looking through the web site. We consider the web site to be a investment now. This said, I would highly recommend Paul and the team Viva Digital.

Through a recommendation from another Business, Paul and his team of experts from Viva Digital exceeded my expectations in Web Design for my Floral Business "Pink Poppy Florist". This is my first experience regarding a total website revamp, (going in with no knowledge), Paul took over and totally put a awesome package together with very impressive & user friendly results.

Words are not enough. But Paul's process is very clear. Paul has a big focus in listening to my business needs, clearly defining who my customers are and which keywords we need to use to reach them. The way he thinks is always a boost in my business. Very good analysis and designing skills. His skills and dedication towards the project he has taken cant be compared. Highly recommended.

I was refereed to Paul to update my existing web site of ten years. He was very helpful and understanding from the outset particularly as I am not web literate. We discussed what I wanted from the new site and he explained what could be achieved and the time frame involved and when certain actions would take place by google. His follow and ongoing interest is excellent. I would recommend him with his additional adword experts, seo specialist's etc to anyone who wants to get the most from there site at what I believe is a very reasonable investment. Thank you Paul and all the best. Mark

I would like to leave a 5 star review even though I have not used there services. I recently contacted Viva Digital with questions about my current site, although this was something they could not help with, Paul's customer service went above and beyond. He answered my questions and put me in-touch with someone that could help. So I would just like to say a huge thank you for taking the time out to help me and in future I know who to contact first.

What can I say about Paul and the Viva Digital Team? After trying numerous other digital providers, this was like reaching an oasis after being in the desert. Paul knows his stuff, he is efficient, friendly and I really felt his concern and care for our individual situation. There is nothing more I could ask for and I can thankfully now say I have ended the search for a reliable long-term partner for all our digital marketing needs!

It's such a relief to have found a digital/social/development/paid search/design/everything agency on the coast that is run by someone with fantastic communication, integrity, openess and true technical ability (not just big words and no results). I have engaged several agencies previously who sound great on paper and talk themselves up in person to get your work, then don't deliver on results, deadlines or technical ability. Paul (the owner of Viva) outsources various specialities like SEO and paid search to the best in the industry but remains your first point of contact and keeps you updated on progress, results, costings and delivery deadlines. It's a pleasure working with Viva and due to the transparency of his way of working, projects usually come in cheaper than quoted and the results are better than promised. A breath of fresh air!
