Design brief

Fidante is a global investment management firm specialising in active investing and close client relationships.

As the organisation expanded internationally, its existing website and CMS no longer supported the complexity of its global operations.

Digital Garden partnered with Fidante to redesign and rebuild its digital platform — delivering a multi-region multisite solution aligned to regulatory requirements, complex data needs and evolving brand presentation.

The challenge

The challenge

Fidante’s digital presence needed to support a complex set of requirements across multiple regions, each with different regulatory, legal and investor communication needs.

Fidante needed to:

  • support a multi-region architecture for global audiences
  • present complex financial data clearly and accurately
  • implement an updated brand across regions
  • deliver a modern, high-performance user experience
  • provide a scalable CMS foundation for ongoing growth

The platform needed to balance regulatory requirements with a polished, investor-facing experience.

What we delivered

What we delivered

Multi-region multisite architecture

We implemented a Drupal multisite architecture to support regional websites, enabling localised content, regulatory messaging and future expansion into new markets.

Brand-led digital design

We designed a refined interface aligned to Fidante’s brand, using subtle motion and visual systems to create a cohesive, high-quality experience across regions and devices.

High-performance hybrid frontend

The homepage was built using a hybrid React approach, enabling fast performance and dynamic presentation of investment information.

Financial data integrations

We integrated multiple data sources to power real-time investment information across the platform — ensuring accuracy while reducing manual publishing effort.

Scalable content and publishing model

Structured content models and reusable components support consistent publishing across regions, while enabling flexibility for future growth.

Accessibility and performance

Accessibility best practices and performance optimisation were embedded throughout, ensuring a seamless and reliable experience for all users.
