Your domain is yours
Registered in your name, every time. Agencies that hold a client’s domain hostage are the reason this industry has a reputation problem.
Too many good businesses are stuck behind bad websites.
That is the reason Nova Site exists, and the reason we stay small on purpose.
/ The short version
We got tired of watching it happen.
Ryno and Matteo started Nova Site in September 2025, after noticing the same thing over and over: local businesses with five-star reviews, loyal customers and years of real work behind them, being represented online by something slow, generic, or built once in 2017 and forgotten.
Rather than just claim we could do better, we built the proof — a run of complete, working sites across different industries, every one a real build rather than a mockup.
That is still how we work. The portfolio comes first, the pitch comes second.
/ How we work
Selective, by design.
Most agencies grow by taking on more clients than they can manage. We built this the other way around, and we would rather say no than do a bad job quietly.

- 06
We stay reachable
Hosting, updates and content changes handled by the same people who built it. You are not handed to a support queue.
/ What we believe
A few things we will not budge on.
No templates sold as custom
If we build it from scratch we say so. If we were ever to use a framework or a theme, we would tell you that too.
Plain language, always
You should never need us to translate your own invoice. If a recommendation cannot be explained simply, it is probably not a good recommendation.
Speed is not optional
A slow site loses people before they read a word. We build light and keep it light.
Honest about SEO
Nobody can promise you position one. We will tell you what is realistic for your industry and your area, and what it will take.
Phones come first
Most of your customers will only ever see the phone version. It gets designed first, not squeezed in afterwards.
/ Where we work
Pretoria-based. Not Pretoria-limited.
We are based in Pretoria and know Gauteng well — a good part of our work sits in Pretoria East, Centurion and Johannesburg North. But the work itself is done remotely, and we take on clients elsewhere in South Africa and internationally.
If you are somewhere else and the project is a fit, distance is not the problem.
