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.

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!

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.
