launch website

The Long Walk is a not-for-profit organisation founded by former AFL great and Aboriginal activist Michael Long in 2004. On 21 November 2004 Michael Long embarked an historic trek, walking from his home in the suburbs of Melbourne all the way to Parliament House in Canberra. The objective of the walk was to raise awawesness for issues that were facing indigenous Australia. The walk is held every year to continue to highlight these issues and create a better future for Australia.

To assist with promotion and reduce administration, The Long Walk established a website several years ago. The website had achieved great results, but was looking tired and no longer reflected the organisation. The Long Walk also wanted to sell merchandise online (with their current website couldn't do).

Get Started sponsored the project to provide a cost-effective solution for The Long Walk. The TightPage Premier package was selected, which included full content management with ecommerce and webstore administration. Working within a tight timeline, Get Started created a great website design and rapidly developed the website.

The Long Walk now have a website that they can quickly and easily manage themselves. This includes adding and deleting products, viewing orders and managing online payments. This allows the organistion more time and money to promote Michael's cuase!
