With the assistance of Ogilvy Namibia we designed the WHK Law website. The front end development and functionality was done by Asylum, and to this day (2023) this website has the most accurate and frequently used Bond Calculator, Transfer Cost Calculator, Sale Member Interest and Bond Repayments tools in Namibia. We have seen tons of external references and websites linking to these calculators. -no wonder, since we occasionally keep these tools up to date with new legislation etc.

Köpplinger Boltman Van Greunen

Another brief from the Asylum. Legal meets digital, and justice looks stunning.

We’re excited to roll out the new website for Köpplinger Boltman Van Greunen, a law firm now flaunting a refreshed and polished online presence.

What we delivered:

A clean, modern design – not the kind that makes you question whether the law even allows style.
All-new staff photography, because every trusted face deserves a sharp headshot to match its credentials.
The services are written in plain English, not buried in legal jargon, covering labour law, civil litigation, debt collection, and commercial representation.
Detailed biographies for the team, reminding you these are real people, even if they know how to argue rules for a living.
A dynamic Articles feed where the partners and shareholders share their insights.
Empower Yourself – a sleek resource hub with case studies, Superior Court labour rulings, and external tools to help you learn and act before picking up the phone to a lawyer.

This site is all about clarity, confidence, and control, crafted for professionals, by professionals (with camera in hand).

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!

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.

Namibia National Olympic Committee Photography 2025

Namibia National Olympic Committee board members and staff profile photography at Droombos. Yet another photoshoot we did with our mobile studio.

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!

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!
