Good work needs room to breathe.

Nova Site is a founder-led studio designing and building fast, custom websites and web apps for a deliberately small number of businesses at a time — so every project gets our full attention, not our leftover hours.

Websites from $2,500 · SEO included as standard · working with businesses in the US, UK and Europe

We take on the projects we can give real attention to. Not more than that.

/ What we do

Four things, done properly.

Build the site, build the systems behind it, make it findable, and bring people to it. Most agencies sell all four and do one of them well.

Hands typing website code on a laptop

Custom website design

A site built around how your customers actually search, click and decide — not a template with your logo dropped on top. Fast, clean, and built to bring in enquiries.

Web apps

Booking systems, dashboards and client portals built around how your business actually works — secure sign-in, your data in your own database, and room to grow as you do.

SEO

Included as standard on every site. We get the structure, content and listings right, so your business shows up when someone searches for what you do — and people find you without paying for every click.

Google Ads

Campaigns built to bring in real enquiries, not just clicks — set up properly, targeted to your area, and actually managed once they are live.

How each one works

/ How a project runs

From first call to launch in weeks, 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 go live in two to three weeks, and Growth sites in three to five.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    A free 20-minute call about your business, customers and goals. A fixed, itemised quote follows within two business days.

  2. 02

    Design

    We design the key pages first, so you see and approve the direction before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    Hand-written, fast and mobile-first, with SEO built in. You review everything on a private preview link.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Domain, hosting, SSL and Search Console handled, so Google can find you from day one.

/ Why we stay small

We choose who we work with. On purpose.

Most agencies grow by taking on more clients than they can properly manage. We built Nova Site the other way around. Every business that reaches out is reviewed for fit before we say yes — fewer projects, far more focus on each one.

If we are the right fit, you work directly with Ryno, the founder, from the first call to launch. If we are not, we will tell you plainly and point you somewhere better.

  3. 03

    We build it properly

    A fixed price, clear milestones and one point of contact throughout.

    We stay reachable

    Hosting, updates and changes handled by the people who built it.

/ A hand-picked sample

Some of the work.

We work with a limited number of clients throughout the year, by design — so this list is short on purpose.

Keystride: a typing test built to take on the biggest.

To show what a Nova Site build can do when nothing is held back, we built Keystride from scratch: a free typing speed test and trainer, designed to compete with the most popular typing sites in the world.

  • 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

Plainpage: every PDF tool, free, and your files never leave your device.

Then we took on Adobe and the big online PDF sites. Plainpage is a free PDF toolkit with 25 tools that all run inside your browser, so your documents are never uploaded anywhere. Not to us, not to anyone.

  • 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

/ What you actually get

Built right, not just built.

Fast by default

Hand-written HTML and CSS, compressed images, no page-builder bloat. Pages that load before someone gives up and hits back.

Built for phones first

Most of your visitors are on a phone, often on mobile data. Every layout is checked at phone width before it is signed off.

Enquiries, not just visits

WhatsApp buttons, quote forms and click-to-call placed where people actually decide — so traffic turns into conversations.

Findable from day one

SEO comes standard: page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and Search Console setup in every build.

Yours to keep

The domain is registered in your name. You are never locked in to us to keep your own website running.

Hosting handled

Hosting, SSL, backups and updates taken care of, so you are not the one getting the renewal emails.

/ Pricing

Fixed prices. SEO included.

Websites from $2,500, Growth sites from $4,500 and web apps from $8,000. Every project gets a fixed, itemised quote before any work starts.

See pricing

/ Who is behind it

Founder-led. No account managers.

Nova Site was started in September 2025 by Ryno Kahl, after watching too many good businesses get stuck with slow, templated websites and ad accounts nobody was managing. He leads every project personally.
