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!

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.

Virtual Tours have always been our strong point but lately clients have been enquiring about standard photography and video as well, which is why we expanded into these areas.

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.
