Beacon Pointe Advisors had grown into a national RIA with more than 90 offices, but its website had not scaled with the firm. Trustworthy Digital redesigned and rebuilt the site to improve performance, simplify navigation across locations and audiences, and create a flexible digital platform that could support future growth.
A $61B+ RIA outgrew its own website
Beacon Pointe’s marketing team was managing a website built for a smaller, simpler organization. As the firm expanded through acquisitions and advisor recruiting, the site fell behind.
Page load times exceeded 12 seconds on mobile. Location pages, service pages, and audience segments, including individuals, families, institutions, and retirement plan sponsors, were not organized to support 90+ offices. Navigation and site architecture had not scaled with the firm.
The existing website held valuable content, but the experience no longer reflected the sophistication, scale, or market position of the firm.
Rebuilding the site to match the firm’s scale
We began with discovery and information architecture work, mapping content around Beacon Pointe’s offices, audience segments, and growth goals. This research shaped a scalable template framework and reusable design system built to support future growth rather than one-off pages.
Wireframes focused on content hierarchy, user journeys, and conversion pathways before moving into high-fidelity design. Technical SEO, accessibility standards, analytics configuration, and structured data were built into the site from the beginning.
Mobile load time reduced by 83%
In a representative mobile test of the Dallas advisor page, estimated load time fell from 12 seconds before launch to 2 seconds after launch. The redesigned page earned a mobile performance score of 84 in Google PageSpeed Insights.

Beacon Pointe ranked first in a representative AI recommendation test
In a post-launch ChatGPT test using a real-world investor query, Beacon Pointe ranked first among the Dallas-area RIA recommendations returned.
In one test, we prompted ChatGPT with a real-world investor query:
“I’m a high-net-worth investor looking to find a financial advisor (RIA) in the Dallas, Texas area. Give me recommendations on a firm that is known for integrating investment management, retirement planning, estate planning, and family wealth strategies. They should have strong reviews.”
ChatGPT ranked Beacon Pointe Advisors first among Dallas RIAs for high-net-worth families, citing:
- A holistic wealth planning approach that integrates investments, retirement, estate planning, tax coordination, and family legacy planning
- A strong fiduciary culture
- The resources of a national RIA paired with local advisor relationships
- A strong fit for families with $2M to $50M or more in investable assets
*AI-generated recommendations can vary by platform, prompt, location, personalization, and date. This result reflects the results of a representative test conducted in July 2026.
From a fragmented website to a scalable digital platform
Beacon Pointe had the brand, reputation, and national footprint. What the firm lacked was a website that could scale alongside its growth.
We built a faster, easier-to-manage digital platform designed to support more than 90 offices and reflect how investors search today. The result is a scalable foundation for continued growth—one that doubled conversion rate and increased web lead volume 190% year over year.
