Fertile Frog delivers comprehensive digital transformation for Montane Group

Chorley-based digital agency Fertile Frog has completed one of its most ambitious projects to date, delivering a complete digital ecosystem for the Montane Group that spans three distinct business divisions while maintaining a cohesive brand identity.

The comprehensive project involved creating individual websites for Montane Finance, Montane Care, and Montane Insurance Services, each tailored to their specific market needs while operating under a unified digital strategy.

Meeting Complex Business Needs

When Montane Group approached Fertile Frog, they presented a unique challenge: create a digital presence that would effectively serve three very different sectors – financial services, care homes, and specialist insurance – while maintaining brand consistency and professional credibility across all platforms.

"This wasn't just about building three websites," explains the Fertile Frog team. "It was about understanding the unique journey of each division's customers – from families searching for care homes to businesses seeking specialist insurance solutions – and creating digital experiences that guide them intuitively to the services they need."

A Strategic Approach to Design

The agency developed a sophisticated visual language that allows each division to maintain its distinct identity while clearly belonging to the Montane Group family. This approach ensures that whether visitors are exploring mortgage options on Montane Finance, researching care facilities on Montane Care, or investigating insurance products on Montane Insurance Services, they experience the same level of professionalism and trust.

Visit the New Montane Group Websites:
Montane Finance - Comprehensive financial services from mortgages to commercial lending
Montane Care - Compassionate care solutions including buying care, selling care homes, and comprehensive care services
Montane Insurance Services- Specialist insurance for healthcare, hospitality, and other sectors

Technical Excellence Drives Results

Beyond the visual transformation, Fertile Frog focused heavily on technical performance. Each site features mobile-first responsive design, recognising that modern users access services across multiple devices throughout their decision-making journey. The websites were built with search engine optimisation at their core, ensuring Montane appears prominently when potential clients search for relevant services.

Performance optimisation was another key priority, with the agency implementing various techniques to achieve lightning-fast load times. This technical foundation, combined with intuitive user-centric navigation, creates an experience that keeps visitors engaged and guides them efficiently to the information they need.

Early Success Indicators

The impact of the digital transformation has been immediate and measurable. Montane Group reports improved engagement metrics across all three websites, with increased time spent on site and lower bounce rates. More importantly, enquiry rates have risen significantly, demonstrating that the new platforms are effectively converting visitors into potential clients.

A spokesman for Fertile Frog said: "The websites not only look professional and modern but are already showing improved engagement metrics and enquiry rates. It's been rewarding to see how the new platforms are helping them better serve their clients across all three sectors."

Recognition from the Client

The success of the project was recently celebrated when Montane Group surprised the Fertile Frog team with a special delivery of wine, acknowledging the exceptional work delivered. This gesture reflects the strong partnership developed throughout the project and the client's satisfaction with their transformed digital presence.

Setting New Standards

This project demonstrates how thoughtful digital strategy can unite diverse business divisions under one brand while respecting their individual market requirements. For Montane Group, the new digital ecosystem provides a foundation for growth across all three sectors, with websites that not only look impressive but deliver real business results.

The collaboration between Fertile Frog and Montane Group showcases what's possible when Lancashire businesses invest in comprehensive digital transformation rather than simple website updates. As more companies recognise the importance of cohesive digital strategies, projects like this set the benchmark for what modern business websites should achieve.
