## How Nova Site works

- Small on purpose: only a few projects at a time, Ryno on every project, from start to finish.
- Written, itemised quotes within two business days of an enquiry; no hourly surprises.
- Most small business sites take a day or two once content and photos are in; more complex web apps take four to five days.
- Clients own their website and domain and can move them at any time.
