Heinitzburg Boutique Hotel

Another release from the Asylum. Another release from the Asylum. This time, royalty booked a room.

We’ve just launched the new website for Heinitzburg, one of Namibia’s most iconic properties, now with a digital presence that finally lives up to the view.

The old site was a relic. Fixed-width. Pre-smartphone. Well past checkout time. We stepped in with clean design, digital care, and a soft spot for luxury detail.

Here’s what we prescribed:

Interactive virtual tours built straight into the room banners, because still photos only get you so far
A custom menu system so the team can update wine and dining info without phoning IT or losing their minds
Dual-language support, because not everyone hears voices in the same language
A bold video banner for that dramatic first impression (video credit goes elsewhere, but the rest is locked down in our padded cell)
A fully responsive design that behaves itself on every screen, no matter what you're hiding from on it
Randomized footer and side nav images, because we believe even the visuals should have a mind of their own. You never see the same thing twice, unless you refresh obsessively. We won't judge.

We also handled the room photography, making sure what you see on the site actually reflects what you get in real life, which, for Heinitzburg, is saying something.

e.power

We’re proud to launch the fully custom-designed and developed website for e.power, Namibia’s go-to experts in generator rentals, solar solutions, and serious electrical know-how.

This isn’t your average plug-and-play setup. We built a fully custom CMS from the ground up, giving the client full control to manage and showcase their projects in real time. And when it comes to enquiries, we added role-based routing. Rental and Parts requests are automatically directed to the right people with the right email addresses, making the entire process smooth and efficient without any manual forwarding.

From concept to code, this site is as sharp, solid, and reliable as the services e.power delivers in real life.

Association of Consulting Engineers of Namibia

We're thrilled to announce one of our biggest projects to date: ACEN.com.na. This isn't just a website - it's a complete digital overhaul of the membership management process for the Association of Consulting Engineers of Namibia, designed to eliminate mountains of paperwork and endless email chains.

What started as a simple logo design (with letterhead and email signature) and a revamp of the old site quickly evolved into a dynamic platform that gives every ACEN member their own microsite. Members can now easily upload their logo, add a short description, provide contact details, and showcase their engineering disciplines and skills - all managed internally with ease.

As the project progressed, ACEN decided to automate their membership process with an interactive form. Here’s how it works:

Membership Registration: Firms input all their essential details, including the number of engineering technicians and professionals they employ - which directly determines their annual membership fee.
Intern Rebate: Members can submit the names and contact details of their interns, which then grants them a rebate on their yearly subscription. This feature not only makes membership more affordable but also supports the development of future generations of engineers.

Proposer & Seconder Confirmation: To validate new memberships, the registering firm must select a proposer and a seconder - both existing ACEN members. These trusted peers simply confirm their willingness to endorse the new member, allowing the registration to proceed.

Revision Status: Once endorsed, the application moves into a revision phase. Here, ACEN administrators meticulously review all the details and uploaded documents (like ECN licenses and firm registrations). They can leave comments on specific fields (say, if a street address is misspelled) or request document revisions, ensuring that every detail meets their high standards.

Payment Portal: After approval, the registration advances to the payment stage. Members pay their yearly membership fee via an online payment gateway, and invoices are available for download. Once payment is confirmed, the microsite is fully activated - allowing members to access real-time statistics on profile views and interactions, check membership expiry dates, and more.

The website itself features a user-friendly member search and a dedicated page for exploring engineering disciplines alongside the corresponding member profiles.

ACEN.com.na is a testament to Asylum's capabilities in developing web-based management software that streamlines complex processes and brings the full convenience of the digital age to membership management. We’re proud to have built a platform that not only meets today’s needs but is also set up for the future.

HPCNA

We’ve just wrapped up another website, and this time it’s for the Health Professions Councils of Namibia (HPCNA) at hpcna.com. This isn’t just any website—it’s a streamlined hub packed with functionality and designed to make browsing a breeze.

First off, we built a user-friendly vertical navigation that shows you exactly where you are at all times. It features a click-to-expand sub-navigation that stays open as you dive deeper into the site, making it ridiculously easy to explore the many resources available.

Speaking of resources, the site is loaded with hundreds of legislation documents, application forms, and online forms to collect and manage member information digitally—no more paper chaos! And let’s not forget the e-register, which we’ve turbocharged with improved speed and usability. Now, you can easily access information on every registered health care professional in the country without breaking a sweat.

This project is all about efficiency, clarity, and making sure health professionals get the information they need without the hassle. Check it out and see what we’ve built!

Roof of Africa

We’re beyond excited to announce the latest rendition of the Roof of Africa website, and let’s just say, this isn’t your average refresh—this is a full-blown digital makeover! The old website was good, but with Roof of Africa growing by leaps and bounds, it just wasn’t cutting it anymore. So, we stepped in, handled the entire photography, and made sure their new site is as impressive as the hotel itself.

Let’s be real—did you know Roof of Africa has a craft brewery on tap? Yeah, most people didn’t. But now, beer lovers can rejoice because some of the best brews in Namibia are waiting for you. And it doesn’t stop there—they’ve got a pool and a sauna where guests can relax in style. Oh, and did we mention they recently opened another restaurant at the FNCC? Because they did, and the old website couldn’t even begin to showcase all this awesomeness.

Now, with our fresh new design (and stunning photos we shot), everything is laid out clearly and simply in the main navigation. Trust us, everyone who’s seen the new site had the same reaction: “I didn’t know they had/did that!”—which, to me, is the ultimate win. It means we’ve succeeded in making sure all of Roof of Africa’s hidden gems are front and center.

And while the new site is a triumph, there’s still one more thing we’re working on for Roof of Africa that I’m super excited about... but more on that very soon! Stay tuned!

Schonfeld Safaris

We’re excited to present the freshly revamped Schoenfeld Safaris website, and this one is packed with some really cool features!

First up, we made sure there’s a clear separation between the hunting and accommodation sections, so visitors can easily navigate between the two without any confusion. Whether you’re booking a hunting adventure or just looking for a luxury getaway, everything’s easy to find.

We also ensured the site is dual-language, available in both German and English, catering perfectly to Schoenfeld’s international clientele.

Another feature we had a little fun with are the randomized images: every time you visit the home page, you’ll see something new! It keeps the experience fresh and gives a dynamic touch to each visit. And let’s not forget about the unique plant and floral elements that appear randomly on all headings, adding a beautiful natural /vintage vibe throughout the site.

So, not only does the site look stunning, but it’s also designed for longevity, just like the previous version - except this one’s even better!

Granietkop Campsite

Here's a quick sideline project we recently tackled: a one-page website for Granietkop Campsite. Owned by the Doro !Nawas Conservancy, a Namibian community-run organization, this campsite is the proud guardian of a huge stretch of pristine land. The site includes all the essentials—like handy NAD to EURO and USD converters and Google Maps direction links.

This project didn’t just stop at a website. We also whipped up a snazzy logo, a detailed fact sheet, and a rate sheet. Ventures like Granietkop Campsite, along with other local gems like Ultimate Safaris’ ONDULI RIDGE and ONDULI ENCLAVE, are vital in boosting rural development, creating jobs, and conserving this beautiful area. So, if you’re looking for an adventure that supports the local community and lets you enjoy nature, Granietkop is your spot!

Namibia Health Plan

The new NHP website is officially live and kicking! What a rollercoaster of a project it has been, but hey, we made it! Take a gander at all the snazzy new additions and components we've cooked up. But first, let's give a round of applause to TinCup for steering this ship and delivering some seriously crisp content. Kudos, Cobus!

Now, let's dive in, shall we? Since we've dabbled in medical aid websites before, we had to channel our inner Picasso and think way outside the proverbial box to ensure we weren't just recycling old ideas. Our brainstorming sessions were wilder than a Netflix comedy special.

Our first stroke of genius? Swapping out colors and graphics for vibrant "personalities" representing each benefit option. Now, your dental plan might be endorsed by a grinning tooth fairy or a smiling dentist.

But wait, there's more! We've jazzed up the site with nifty search features, making it easier than ever to find what you need. Say goodbye to endless scrolling through tables like it's a marathon when you are browsing benefit Major medical expense limits and Day-to-day medical expense limits. Just type in a keyword like "hospital" and boom, there's your pre-authorization request form, ready to rock.

And let's not forget the numbers game. We've got stats that'll make your head spin (in a good way). With 38,772 members, 80,082 beneficiaries, and a growth rate that's climbing faster than a squirrel on caffeine, NHP is where it's at.

Alongside our flashy new features, we've beefed up the tried-and-true favorites like Compare Benefits and the Benefit Calculator. Think of them as the reliable sidekicks in this superhero lineup of website upgrades. Need to weigh your options? Compare Benefits has got your back. Crunching numbers? Benefit Calculator is on the case. They may not have capes, but they're heroes in their own right. So go ahead, give 'em a spin and see how they make navigating the insurance maze a breeze!

And hold onto your hats, folks, because we've had one more trick up our sleeve! We hosted a one-of-a-kind, session-based website launch competition. Picture this: visitors scouring the site like treasure hunters, on the hunt for medical aid-related emojis hidden throughout. It was like a digital scavenger hunt, and boy, did it get hearts racing - With over 800 eager participants joining the fun over a two-week span, the competition was hotter than a jalapeño eating contest. Our competition component then swooped in like a benevolent genie and randomly selected three lucky winners on end of competition. And what did they win, you ask? NHP hampers packed to the brim with goodies, of course! Because who says insurance can't be fun, right?

But the real star of the show? Our CMS. We've given it a makeover worthy of a Hollywood red carpet montage. From document management tools that'll make your life easier when adding them to pages to banner systems with more options than a dungeons and dragons game, we're taking CMS to a whole new level. Nadja deserves a medal for these changes. Can't wait to unleash this beast on all our future projects!

So there you have it, folks. The new NHP website: where innovation meets insurance. Go ahead, take it for a spin. Just don't blame us if you get addicted to browsing insurance plans. It's a wild ride, but hey, someone's gotta do it!

We've got trails that'll make your heart race and your Instagram followers green with envy. Plus, we've thrown in some fancy KMZ files to show off those trails in all their glory on Google Maps. It's like having a personal tour guide in your pocket, minus the awkward small talk.

But wait, there's more! Strap on your adventure boots, because this website isn't just about pretty pictures of trails. Oh no, we've gone above and beyond to make it a hub of outdoor excitement. Think activities, events, and all-around trail-tastic goodness, served up on a silver platter of membership perks.

And here's the cherry on top: as a bonus for our beloved members, we've whipped up a little something extra. We're talking statistics, folks. We're tracking every click, every visit, and every button mash within the website's labyrinth of trails and member microsites. It's like having your own personal data guru, but way cooler.

So, if you've got trails to flaunt and adventures to share, look no further than Amazing Trails. Consider us your one-stop-shop for all things outdoor escapades. Whether you're a seasoned trailblazer or a newbie in need of some fresh air, we've got you covered. So lace up those boots, grab your water bottle, and let's hit the trails!

Emcon Consulting Group

Introducing another captivating project that offers enhanced functionality to streamline website navigation for visitors. This project is designed to provide an effortless user experience, ensuring a user-friendly journey. In essence, our custom CMS empowers website owners to create projects and select the specific services offered within each project. This selection enables visitors to navigate directly to the desired service and explore detailed information about it.

Through the implementation of "cross-linking," we have made the website journey significantly easier and more convenient for visitors. For instance, when a visitor explores a particular project, they will find a list of services associated with that project. These services are clickable, allowing the visitor to access additional information about the service itself and discover other projects where the service has been provided.

Ultimately, this guided journey of information ensures a seamless and engaging experience for visitors. Without the incorporation of cross-linking, this journey would be far less convenient and considerably shorter-lived.

Ugab Game Farm and Lodge

In November 2022 Ugab Game Farm and Lodge contracted us to design and develop their website. The lodge was newly established and partially still in construction, thus all we had to work with was a logo, but in the shortest time we planned a trip to the beautiful Damaraland and within a week we shot all the photography, virtual tours, time lapses, drone footage, ... etc. seen on the website. This visit was all we needed to inspire us with the design of the website.

This week was so action packed, filled with game drives early in the morning and late in the afternoon, seeing antelope species I didn't know existed, directing a bunch or tourists who we borrowed from a nearby lodge to model for the photos and drives, making fires and the typical early mornings for the Golden hour photos, also known as the "Money Shots"! :D

That was a busy week and I think it definitely payed off. Again, thank you for a great week and for the opportunity to let us show what Asylum is capable of.

I think we ended up with a stunning product with a ton of variety in media and interactivity.

Collexia Beyond Payments

Collexia is live! What a fun design to work on.

Traditionally websites have a horizontal navigation, but this comes with the drawback of having limited space for the needed navigation. It is the responsibility of the designer to get as much information to get a good feeling of how big the navigation might be, and in this case it was just a little more than usual.

The client handed me a few brochures and a corporate profile, which both had Dunes and the Hexagon shapes in the design. Which is exactly why i used these in the website design:

The hexagon graphics as frames for the people profile pictures, news and info-graphics.
The Dunes with the parallax filling the white space for a seamless full-viewport page design and a sense of depth.

This full-viewport design pushed the content area into a manageable with which makes text much more legible and the 16:9 images scale quite perfectly.

As for the client, well, they were awesome! Friendly and understandable when it came to more information I needed to "fill" the website with ... yes, content. 😃

All in all, I really love how this turned out! I am looking forward to expand the website with upcoming additions!

Lewfin America LLC

Our first website based in America! Lewfin contacted us to create a short term loan / personal loan website for one of their American branches. The website is quite a small one, with only 6 pages, but from a design perspective we did our best to accommodate the available content. At least now Lewfin will have a good starting point and the possibility to expand into many more pages.

Deepcatch Holdings Namibia

We design and developed the Deepcatch Namibia Holdings website and with it came a complex interlinking concept where the client will be maintaining all the news and contact details from one website. Deepcatch Namibia Holdings consists of numerous companies spread over 5 divisions which in return will become a nightmare to maintain all the news and contact details throughout all the websites, which is why we prepared the Deepcatch Namibia Holdings website to act as a hub for all the other websites. Traditionally the client would need to log into each and every CMS to change the contact details and maintaining their news, but with this interlinking they will only need to do this once. We are looking forward to the next project with Deepcatch Namibia Holdings.

Namibia National Olympic Committee

We feel honored that we have been the chosen website design and development company to revamp the Namibia National Olympic Committee website.

Saager Aircool CC

This is a website for Saager Aircool CC, a HVAC system provider in Namibia. The website is a static website execution, meaning that we only developed the front-end without a content management system which allows the customer to maintain their website. The content management system will most likely be implemented at a later stage, but right now this is more than enough for the client.

We also implemented our first snow effect within the banner of the website. This is something quite unusual for a Namibian website, since it rarely snows in Namibia, but completely relevant to the air conditioning industry

Copper & Coal Distillery Namibia

If you are 18 and above and you love Namibian Crafted Gins and Vodkas then you should take a moment and have a gander at our latest website ... and its products, obviously!

This site comes with a fully functional shopping cart that allows you to set up an order with Copper & Coal Distillery Namibia, no matter if you are an Individual or a Supplier. The shopping cart will magically calculate the discounts on certain items if they are bought in bulk, well, its not really magic, its just developer mastery... But I digress - the website also has a membership based service called the Copper Craft Club where you receive beautifully packaged and branded gift baskets of Namibian products every 2 months. On top of that they also have services such as online application forms for Gift Vouchers, Loyalty Cards, Corporate Gifts ... etc.

If you are an esteemed website designer, then there are some design elements worth checking out - especially the vertical lines that connect the headers of the content with the end of the content (if that makes sense), also the randomly generated gallery images that tease the visitor with a fresh set of 10 images every time the page is reloaded or changed and last but not least the subtle watermark images behind most headings that are also randomly generated.
What can I say, I'm proud of my Asylum team in rehabilitating yet another website!

Oshakati Premier Electric

After a few months of web based software development we finally launched the website for Oshakati Premiere Electric. Its actually our first take at a progressive web app, which basically eliminates the overall need for an actual app! To see these app like features, you will need to launch the site on your mobile phone.

In addition this website is packed with features, such as the Report It functionality, where the user can report a fault by taking and uploading a photo as well as allowing location services to pin where the photo was taken i.e. if there is an electrical hazard, one will be able to send the details to OPE.

Find a vendor which filters the table of vendors according to your location. It also shows you a google map with your location along with a radius where the closest vendors are.

Users can also Request a Call Out to their residence with the help of location services.

All of these functions are available to non-registered users, but so much easier and quicker to use once the user is registered, as all of the user details are pre-populated in the forms.

Once the user is registered they can also add their accounts and prepaid meters. This allows the user to request a call out to the location of a saved prepaid meter. And in the near future the user will be able to buy electricity from the website and choose the meter they would like to top up.

There is also an online chat available to registered users, which we designed and developed to ask questions, send photos, links and documents to an OPE representative.

Registered users also get notifications of scheduled power outages, when an account or prepaid meter is approved, when they have a new message in chat ... etc.

If you are an OPE customer, you should consider registering on the website and using all these tools.

Aucor Online Auctions

Front-end development for the online auctions of Aucor Namibia. For this project we went through all possible auction websites around the globe and combined the most important features with additional value added and user friendly add-ons which make it easy to keep track of your auctions and as well as lot items. One of the best features is, that you can search for items with certain tags ... i.e. if you are looking for a fridge, you can look for all fridges within all auctions at the same time and then take it from there. Sadly this front-end has not been integrated with the back-end, but I am sure it will be soon!

Ultimate Safaris

Feast your eyes on our new FLAGSHIP website cruising above all tourism websites in Namibia! 😆 I present to you Ultimate Safaris. www.ultimatesafaris.na

About 11 Years ago I had my first meeting with Tristan Cowley from Ultimate Safaris and since then I have been doing their website and most of their branding - book covers, luggage tags, flyers, water bottles, corporate gifts, socks, aprons, the 10 year bash, etc. ... you name it, I was there for them and helped with the graphics! We occasionally fought, especially when it comes to using capital letters or not, but we never gave up on each other and look where it got us today - this website! We are so proud of this!

This website is the most custom solution we have ever built for a client - a choice of 3 pre-footer content sections, linking youtube videos, uploading your own HTML5 videos, scheduled tour calendars, mozaic galleries, parallaxes, animated counters, numerous JS animations and calculations and last but not least - loads of elephant skin backgrounds 👍... I mean just go and look at the pages e.g.:

But ... I will have to add, Tristan and I we sat hours, days, weeks, grinding on the layout, making sure there is as little white space as possible, statically building fully fledged pages so that we can see how it would look like and perform on different devices, giving us challenges we have never faced before, ... without all of this, and the spectacular imagery, video footage and Spitzenklasse written content and last and in no way least, Nurse Nadja's exceptional skills in development the website would not have been as nice as it is.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Tristan once again, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming projects we are working on! "To the best Tour Operator in Namibia!"

Oh and before I forget: We also built a small attendance register that allows the front desk to have an overview of the people currently in the office. If someone leaves the office for coffee, a meeting or annual leave, they add the event minutes before the occurrence or schedule it ahead of the time. There is nothing worse than having the receptionist put you through to a phone that is never answered, or tell you that she does not know where the person is.

Barkhan Dune Retreat 2023

Up until now, our responsibility at Barkhan Dune Retreat has encompassed capturing all the photography. However, we often felt a vital component was absent from our shots - the presence of people. Consequently, we were graciously invited to Barkhan Dune Retreat not only to photograph the rooms, facilities, and activities, but also to showcase the inclusion of individuals within these captivating frames. Furthermore, our task entailed capturing images of the recently unveiled KuanguKuangu, an opulent self-catering unit majestically perched atop a mountain peak.

Enjoy the photos!

Ugab Game Farm and Lodge

Ugab Game Farm and Lodge is a newly established high end lodge with luxury accommodation in Damaraland. Their top end rooms are equipped with a personal coffee station, a fridge with ice cold water, and a massive outside shower and bathtub. The linen of the king sized double beds are made of Egyptian cotton and the rooms have a magnificent view on to the waterhole where a vast variety of animals roam and feed.

They offer lengthy Nature / Game Drives in the shadows of majestic trees growing in the Ugab river. It is near guaranteed that you will see wild animals in the Ugab river, since they prefer the lower temperatures therein. You will most likely see herds of Eland, Gemsbock and many other species unique to the farm.

Here are some photos we took at Ugab Game Farm and Lodge.

Barkhan Dune Retreat 2022

And another successful visit to Barkhan Dune Retreat. This time we planned a quick sunset photo shoot at the Spreetshoogte pass. The sunset was spectacular with all the little clouds filling the sky and giving the photos an additional flare! After all the good rains this year the grass was standing at hip height and has that classic golden shimmer as the sun sets.

Medical Imaging

Medical Imaging requested us to take photos for every service category on their website. This was a super fun shoot, since the staff at Roman Catholic Hospital and Mediclinic are extremely friendly and photogenic. Lighting and space in the hospital is a real challenge, which is why some of the images look distorted and or the white balance is off.

Taking photos of the MRI machine was a nightmare considering if I get too close it will suck my camera into the magnetic field and damage the multi million dollar machine, or it will simply corrupt all my photos on the SD card. That was quite worrying to say the least.

We are also doing the website which is still in the works, but these photos will replace the stock photography they are currently using on their website.

NamPower Virtual Tour

NamPower Anixas II Power Station Walvis Bay

The Coronavirus pandemic brough a lot of challenges for businesses as movement was restricted, travel was banned - thus companies could not operate businesses as usual anymore. Which is why we were contracted to create a virtual tour for NamPower which allows prospective bidders to walk around the NamPower site on which the future Anixas II power station is planned and interactively find out more about the site and Project requirements. This site is also home to the existing Anixas power station and the now decommissioned Paratus power stations.

This responsive 66 scene virtual tour walk through takes the user through all the most important areas, which are usually quite difficult to reach and or take time and planning to visit, from the comfort of their home or office. With about 30 hot-spots ranging from simple text, images, and photoshopped infographics that pop up when interacting with them, the virtual tour isn't just visually interactive, but also informative. On top of that we added custom graphics over certain areas which aided in the illustration of i.e. structures to be demolished, the passing of certain lines ... etc.

Due to the sensitivity of information we will not be able to demo or show much more than what you see here now.

Real Estate Virtual Tour

A few months back I met a Real Estate Agent, and I ran her through a couple of ideas on how one could advertise high end properties more effectively, or uniquely, especially now in these tough times of pandemics and economic crises. I offered her to do an informative fly through / virtual tour of one of her properties. After a short time she asked me to join her to a farm in the south which they have been trying to sell for a while. I spent 2 days there to capture the footage - virtual tours, photography and a video. After a month the farm was sold! Enjoy the footage!

Barkhan Dune Retreat 2020

Barkhan Dune Retreat outdid themselves again! When I was told that they had created 5 new chalets I had no idea how beautiful and genius they would be! Along with the chalets, they created an entire limescale filtering system, gray water recycling as well as solar power that supports multiple air conditioners! Brakhan Dune Retreat, in my opinion, is one of the iconic lodges in Namibia!

All the most important scenes are shot at dusk or dawn to capture all the natural and artificial lighting at its best.

The software is fully responsive and automatically detects the resolution of your device to avoid unwanted bandwidth consumption.

The virtual tour software runs online as well as offline, which is highly beneficial when the client showcases their product on a touch screen or laptop at an expo with limited or no internet access.

Melbic Car Rentals, Transfers & Tours

When we heard that we will be doing the Virtual Tours for NWR we needed a car that will get us all over Namibia. Melbic Car Rental was so kind to provide us with such vehicle (Toyota Hilux 2017) as long as we take photos of the vehicle. Considering that ALL sunsets and Sunrises were booked for the Virtual Tours, this is the best we could do. In addition Melbic scored a limelight spot on all campsites around our beautiful country.
