About
A South African software studio built on craft
Avuno Technologies is a South African software studio in Mossel Bay, founded by Werno Roodt, that builds websites, web apps and AI tools for small businesses — locally priced in Rands, mobile-first, POPIA-aware, and supported directly by the person who built them.
Key takeaways
- Avuno is a one-person-led studio in Mossel Bay, Western Cape, founded and run by developer Werno Roodt.
- We build brochure websites from R4,500, advanced sites and web apps from R12,000, and care plans from R300/mo.
- Every project is hand-coded, mobile-first and POPIA-aware — no template factories, no overseas call centre.
- You own your domain, content and site outright, and you talk to the developer directly.
Who is behind Avuno?
Avuno Technologies is led by Werno Roodt, its founder and lead developer. He is a South African developer and multi-trade craftsman based in Mossel Bay on the Garden Route, and he personally designs, builds and supports every project that carries the Avuno name. When you work with Avuno, you are not handed off to an account manager or a queue — you talk to the person who writes the code.
That craftsman's background is the reason Avuno exists. Trades taught Werno that a job done properly the first time saves the customer money later, that the person who did the work should stand behind it, and that clear pricing builds trust faster than any sales pitch. Those same values run through every website and web app Avuno ships. There is no large team to absorb the cost of mistakes, so the work has to be right — and because it is hand-built rather than assembled from a template, it can be made exactly to fit how a real South African business actually operates.
What does Avuno believe?
Avuno is built for South African realities, not borrowed wholesale from overseas agencies. Five principles shape every quote, every build and every line of support.
Locally priced
Quotes are in Rands, fixed and clear — a brochure site from R4,500, care from R300/mo. No dollar billing, no surprise invoices, no retainers you didn't ask for.
Mobile-first
Most South Africans meet your business on a phone, so that's where every site is designed to load fast and look sharp first — desktop second.
POPIA-aware
Privacy, secure forms and a proper privacy policy are built in from the start, so your business meets the Protection of Personal Information Act.
Real support
You reach the developer who built your site directly — not a call centre, not a ticket lost in a queue on another continent.
You own it
Your domain, your content and your site are your asset. Avuno builds and can maintain them, but they are never locked to us.
How does Avuno work?
Avuno follows a simple, transparent process so you always know what is happening and what it costs. It starts with a free discovery call to understand your business and map exactly what you need. From there you get a written, fixed-scope proposal in Rands — usually within one working day — so there are no surprises before any work begins.
Once you approve it, Werno designs and builds the site or app by hand: fast, secure and mobile-first. A typical brochure website goes from approved proposal to live in one to three weeks; larger web apps are staged over several weeks so you can see progress as it lands. We launch on your own domain with SSL, then — if you'd like — keep it fast, backed up and secure on a monthly care plan. Throughout, you deal with one person who knows your project end to end.
Where is Avuno based, and who do you serve?
Avuno Technologies (Pty) Ltd is based in Mossel Bay, Western Cape, and serves clients across the Garden Route, all of South Africa, and remote clients worldwide. Being local matters: Werno understands the trades, guest houses, lodges and service businesses that drive this region, and builds for how they actually win customers — a Google search that turns into a booked job, or a phone enquiry that turns into a guest. Distance is no barrier, though; everything can be handled over a call, email and WhatsApp, so a business in Cape Town, Johannesburg or further afield gets exactly the same hands-on attention as one down the road.
If that sounds like the way you'd want your website or software built, the next step is a short, free conversation. Get a free quote from Avuno and you'll have a written proposal in Rands within one working day — no obligation, no pressure.
