Challenges

Before partnering with Montana Banana, Rio Grande Games faced significant issues with their online presence:

  • Navigation

    The website had navigation challenges, making it difficult for customers to find specific games, printable rules, or expansion sets.

  • Mobile Experience

    The mobile browsing experience was cumbersome and frustrating for customers.

  • Brand Consistency

    Website visuals were inconsistent with the caliber and creativity of the company’s actual game offerings.

Approaches

Montana Banana delivered a strategic redesign and rebuild of Rio Grande Games’ website to address these issues:

  • Search & Filters

    Implemented a custom faceted search to make it faster and easier for customers to find what they need.

  • Mobile First

    Designed a fully responsive website that provides a seamless browsing experience across all mobile devices.

  • Improved Design

    Created a simple, elegant, and visually engaging design that reflects the high standards of Rio Grande’s board games.

Measurable Results

Customer and VAR complaints dropped significantly.

Mobile website usage increased substantially due to the improved responsive design.

The website’s visual presentation now reflects the quality and craftsmanship of Rio Grande’s games.
