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!

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!

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.
