Aura One was founded by Thomas Knowler in 2010, originally operating as Aura Host.
Thomas is a seasoned webmaster and online marketing specialist who began his career in Somerset, England, where he studied graphic design and IT.
After immigrating to South Africa in 2006, Thomas joined Find It SA, a well-known business directory based in Knysna. Driven by a genuine interest in helping businesses grow their digital footprint, he played a key role in expanding the company’s reach across the Garden Route and Cape Town. During this time, he expanded services from directory listings to include website design and marketing.
Following the sale of Find It SA in 2012, Thomas relocated to Hermanus and launched Aura Host.
Over the years, his work has supported clients across a wide range of industries, helping them build visibility and grow sustainably online.
Today, Aura One continues to reflect Thomas’s hands-on approach, technical expertise and long-standing commitment to helping businesses succeed.
Away from the screen, Tom values time outdoors and, with a love for hiking, takes every opportunity to enjoy the Overberg landscape he now calls home.
Aura One creates bespoke websites that combine premium design, custom graphics and intuitive functionality to help businesses connect with their audiences from day one.
Designed to perform seamlessly across desktops, tablets and mobile devices, every website delivers a consistent, engaging, and user-friendly experience.
