Client Overview

Montgomery Securities is a West Coast boutique investment bank and asset management firm rooted in entrepreneurial values and strategic financial expertise. Focused on serving emerging growth companies and sophisticated investors, the firm delivers tailored advisory and capital markets solutions, including private capital raises, mergers & acquisitions, valuations, structured liquidity events, and alternative investment strategies. 

Recognizing the importance of a digital presence that reflects its distinct market positioning, Montgomery Securities partnered with WebSight Design (WSD) to build a refreshed online identity and functional website that bridges heritage and modernity. 

The Challenge: Reimagining a Storied Name for the Digital Era

When the engagement began, WSD’s initial scope was straightforward: deliver a small, clean, and SEO-ready website with a basic content management system. However, early discovery revealed a unique dimension to the project. Montgomery Securities had acquired the rights to an iconic legacy name, a firm that underwrote landmark IPOs for major technology companies in earlier decades. 

Montgomery Securities’ historical significance presented both an opportunity and a challenge. The brand carried weight within financial circles, but its legacy identity needed modernization to resonate with current and prospective clients in rapidly changing markets like fintech, AI, aerospace, and healthcare. The team and WSD agreed that the new web presence had to honor that legacy while presenting a forward-thinking, compelling brand story.

Strategy & Design: Brand Evolution Rooted in Purpose

WSD’s strategy for Montgomery Securities went beyond building a website. The project became a thoughtful brand evolution that combined refreshed visual identity and modern web functionality.

Key elements included:

• Logo and Brand Colors: Multiple rounds of logo design and color refinement helped anchor a refreshed identity that balanced tradition with innovation. These visual elements now cohesively support Montgomery’s strategic narrative across media and digital touchpoints. 

• Forward-Thinking Domain: The new domain, GoMonty.com, was selected for clarity, memorability, and ease of use. These are important attributes for branding and search ranking in competitive financial sectors. 

• Mobile-Friendly, Responsive Design: WSD delivered a fully responsive layout optimized for mobile and desktop, ensuring accessibility across devices for busy executives and investors. 

Technology & Capabilities: Beyond a Static Website

The new site was built with a robust Content Management System (CMS) that empowers Montgomery Securities’ internal team to update key site elements without developer support. Features implemented include:

• Page Manager to control static and dynamic content

• Portfolio Manager for showcasing expertise and case highlights

• Team Manager for biographical content

• News Manager for publishing thought leadership and firm updates

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) including Google Analytics, Search Console, Tag Manager, and metadata setup to help improve visibility. 

This technical infrastructure supports ongoing growth and content strategy while aligning with marketing and compliance needs.

Impact: Strategic Clarity Meets Digital Readiness

The new Montgomery Securities website and refreshed brand serve multiple strategic purposes:

• Communicates Expertise: The site clearly positions the firm as a sophisticated partner for founders and investors navigating complex financial decisions. 

• Supports Business Development: Enhanced SEO, user accessibility, and a clean, navigable layout help attract and engage prospective clients. 

• Enables Internal Efficiency: The CMS gives Montgomery control over future content updates, reducing reliance on external development support. 

By thoughtfully integrating branding, user experience, and backend functionality, Montgomery Securities now has a digital platform that reflects its market differentiation and growth ambitions in today’s competitive financial services landscape.
