Two founders. No account managers.

When you work with Nova Site, you work with the people who build the thing. There is no layer in between.

Ryno Kahl

Web Developer · Pretoria

Ryno co-founded Nova Site in September 2025 and handles most of the building — design, front-end development, deployment and the hosting and domain side afterwards. He has designed and built sites for businesses in construction, IT and networking, medical training, retail, printing, embroidery, dance and competitive swimming.

He works in hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript rather than page builders, which is the reason Nova Site’s sites load as quickly as they do. The work runs from the first layout through to the parts most people never think about: responsive behaviour at every screen width, the forms, the domain, the SSL certificate and the maintenance once a site is live.

He is finishing Grade 12 at Hoërskool Waterkloof, taking Information Technology, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, and has been accepted to start the IIE Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences in Application Development at Emeris in 2027 — a three-year NQF Level 7 degree covering programming, web development, databases, cloud development and security. He also spent a stint as a part-time IT technician at PC Palace Group, and swims for his school’s A team.

He works in English and Afrikaans, and is the person most clients end up dealing with directly.

/ What this means for you

A small team is the point, not a limitation.

You get a founder

Not a junior working from a brief written by someone who spoke to you once. The person who takes your call is the person building the site.

Decisions happen quickly

No approval chains. If you want something changed, it usually happens that day rather than going into a queue.

We turn work down

Taking on more than we can do properly would break the only thing that makes this work. So we review every enquiry for fit first.

We reply within two business days. No sales call needed to get started.
