Web apps
Booking systems, client portals and internal dashboards, designed around how your team actually works. Secure sign-in, your data in a database you own, and new features as you grow.
/ Bespoke web design & development · US, UK & Europe
Custom websites and web apps.
Good work needs room to breathe, so we only take on a few small businesses at a time. You deal directly with the founder, get a fixed price in dollars, pounds or euros, and launch in days rather than months.

We take on the projects we can give real attention to. Not more than that.
/ What we do
Websites, web apps, SEO and Google Ads.
Web design and development, SEO and ads: four services that work best together. The site, the software behind it, the search work that gets it found, and the ads that bring in traffic while SEO builds up.
Custom website design
Designed around how your buyers compare options and get in touch. Written and built from scratch, quick to load, and set up to turn visits into enquiries.
SEO
Part of every build, not an add-on. Clean structure, the right page titles and structured data from launch day, so search engines understand what you offer and who it is for.
Google Ads
Search campaigns with conversion tracking from day one, aimed at the regions you actually sell to, and checked and adjusted every month rather than left running.

/ How a project runs
From first call to launch in days, not months.
Everything is done remotely, across time zones. You get a fixed price, a clear plan and regular check-ins, with your feedback built into every stage.
Our working day overlaps with the UK and Europe, and with US mornings, so calls happen at a time that suits you.
Most Launch sites are built in one to two days, and Growth sites in three to five.
- 01
Discovery call
A free 20-minute call about your business, customers and goals. A fixed, itemised quote follows within two business days.
- 02
Design
We design the key pages first, so you see and approve the direction before anything is built.
- 03
Build
Hand-written, fast and mobile-first, with SEO built in. You review everything on a private preview link.
- 04
Launch
Domain, hosting, SSL and Search Console handled, so Google can find you from day one.
/ Why we stay small
A small studio, on purpose.
Bigger agencies grow by adding clients and handing the work to whoever is free. We grow slowly instead, and look at every enquiry before saying yes, so each project gets proper time and attention.
When we take you on, Ryno, the founder, is your contact from the first call to launch day and after it. When we are not the right fit, we say so and suggest where to go instead.
- 01
Send a brief or book a call
A few lines about your business, or 20 minutes on a video call. Your choice.
- 02
We check we are the right fit
We look at your goals, budget and timeline before agreeing to anything.
- 03
We build to a fixed price
Clear milestones, one contact, and no hourly bill creeping up in the background.
- 04
We are still here after launch
The people who built your site look after its hosting, updates and changes.
/ Recent builds
A few recent projects.
Most of our clients so far are in South Africa, where the studio is based. The process, the code and the standards are the same wherever you are.
/ Built in-house
Keystride: what we build when nothing is held back.
Keystride is our own free typing speed test and trainer, built from scratch to stand next to the most-used typing sites in the world. It is the clearest way to show the speed and polish we bring to client work.
- Honest scoring, keyboard heatmaps, finger stats and a replay of every keystroke
- A new daily challenge every day, the same for everyone in the world, generated automatically
- No ads, no sign-up, and it works offline
- Scores 97–100 on Google Lighthouse for speed, accessibility and SEO
/ Also built in-house
Plainpage: 25 free PDF tools that run entirely in your browser.
Our second in-house product goes up against Adobe and the big online PDF sites. Every tool runs on your own device, so documents are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, including us.
- Merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, sign, fill forms, protect and redact
- Change the words already in a PDF, in the document’s own font, a feature others charge for
- No uploads, no limits, no watermarks, no sign-up, and it works offline
- Scores 98–100 on Google Lighthouse for speed, accessibility and SEO

/ In every build
What every project includes.
Quick to load
Hand-coded pages and compressed images without page-builder bloat, so nobody is left waiting on a slow connection.
Designed for phones first
Most visitors arrive on a phone. Each layout is designed and tested at phone size before the desktop version.
Easy to get in touch
Contact forms, booking links and click-to-call placed where people make the decision, so more visits turn into conversations.
SEO from launch day
Page titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and Search Console are all in place before the site goes live.
You own it
Your domain is registered in your name and the site is yours. Moving it later is your call, not ours.
Looked after
Hosting, SSL, backups and renewals handled for you, so expiry notices never land in your inbox.
/ Who is behind it
You work with the person building it.
Ryno Kahl started Nova Site in September 2025 after seeing too many good businesses held back by slow, templated sites and ad accounts nobody was watching. He still runs every project himself.
