What Was Done
The Challenge
LifeX needed a brand-new website that could support the unique requirements of an ETF-focused product. With high traffic, strict financial disclosure rules, and daily product data requirements, the site had to be both technically robust and extremely reliable. Their goal was to create a clear, scalable digital presence that could support investors, founders, and compliance teams alike.
The Solution
We built a custom Webflow site from the ground up, with a strong focus on performance, security, and accuracy.
To ensure financial data was always in sync with their API (a regulatory must), we implemented client-side rendering for sensitive datasets. This decision minimized failure points and ensured real-time accuracy directly from the source of truth. While most of the site runs on CMS-powered pages, all critical data comes in live every weekday by 8am.
We also took advantage of Webflow Enterprise features like page branching, enabling LifeX to stage updates, collaborate with regulators, and roll back changes with ease. This functionality supports the kind of rigorous review process required by US financial laws.
LifeX is now using Webflow Analyze to better understand user behavior and inform future iterations. Our team continues to provide ongoing support as they gather data and test new UI improvements.
The Results
The new site delivers the reliability and flexibility LifeX needed. With improved performance, built-in compliance features, and modular content updates, LifeX can confidently manage their digital presence and scale as their portfolio grows. Ongoing support from Composite ensures the site continues to evolve in step with their goals—whether that means launching new pages, creating microsites, or refining backend structure for even smoother content management.
Final Thoughts
Our ongoing relationship with LifeX
Since launch, Composite has continued to support LifeX through an ongoing development partnership. As their business goals evolve, we help adapt the site accordingly—launching new pages, refining existing content, and developing microsites tailored to specific initiatives. Our team also manages backend reorganization and site maintenance to ensure LifeX’s digital presence remains fast, flexible, and aligned with their strategic priorities.
This project reflects how enterprise tools and thoughtful development choices can support even the most regulated industries. From live financial data to page branching for legal review, the LifeX site is more than a brochure—it’s a compliant, scalable platform built for growth. And with our ongoing partnership, it remains a living product, continuously adapting to meet the needs of LifeX’s expanding vision.
