Manchester-based eCommerce and marketplace agency, Digitl have created and launched an exciting new website for Freshwalks. Freshwalks was established in 2014 by Studio North founder Michael Di Paola and aims to bring the North West business community together via a series of organised walks – both in the city centre and countryside.
Since its launch, more than 90 countryside rambles and 40 city walks have been staged. In that time, nearly 25,000 miles have been trod which is the equivalent of 52 million steps, or a full loop of the earth!
Digitl were tasked with creating a new website that makes it easier for people to sign up for walks and provides information on the corporate offers that are available. The result is a responsive WordPress website that is fully integrated with Eventbrite and Mailchimp to facilitate ticket sales and enable data driven email marketing. The website also features the profiles of regular attendees plus a handy section summarising the difficulty, route and length of each walk.
Michael Di Paola said: “Our mission at Freshwalks is to reinvigorate both body and soul, allowing participants to make new contacts, share personal and business challenges and gain some fresh perspective. We needed a website that helped us to achieve that and Digitl has done a fantastic job encapsulating what we stand for.”
Darren Ratcliffe – founder of Digitl – added: “I’ve been a keen participant in – and an advocate of -Freshwalks since its inception so it was great to work on this project. Freshwalk’s aims of connecting people and encouraging them to get out from behind their desks are terrific. I hope the new site will play its part in inspiring a whole new set of walkers who want to network in the great outdoors.”
