Ryno Kahl

Junior web developer and co-founder of Nova Site, a Pretoria web studio. I design, build and deploy websites for real businesses, from the first layout to hosting, domains and upkeep after launch.

Since

September 2025 I have built sites for clients in IT and networking, medical training, retail, printing, embroidery, dance and competitive swimming, and I am usually the person clients deal with directly. I work in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and use AI tools such as Claude to speed up coding, debugging and research, reviewing and testing everything myself. I finish Grade 12 in 2026 and start the IIE Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences in Application Development at Emeris in 2027.
