About Banyan Theory

We're the insurance website company.

We've built more than 1,000 insurance agency websites
over the past 17 years, and we'd love to build yours.

Our Company

We've been building insurance agency websites for more than 17 years. We launched our first one in 2007, late at night, from a spare bedroom in a small house in Olathe, Kansas. We’ve since expanded our business and industry-leading LightRail platform to meet the needs of a wide variety of insurance agencies across the country.

100% of our customers are insurance agencies. More than 3,500 agents in 49 states rely on our platform to manage their online presence, bring in new leads, and service their customers.

We partner with Safeco and Liberty Mutual to support their industry-leading SiteBuilder program, as well as develop new products and services to meet the unique needs of the insurance industry.

In addition, we're customers of independent insurance agencies ourselves, and we apply our consumer experience to the solutions we design. And because we have high standards, we only build websites we would want to use.

Our Team

Banyan Theory is a small team of very hardworking people. We’ve designed our platform to support intense growth as well as scalable customer service. With our state-of-the-art platform, we can achieve the same amount of work done by a huge team of developers, designers and account managers.

Being a small team also means our customers know who is going to answer calls and respond to emails. There aren't any complex phone prompts or unwieldy ticketing systems here. Just us, ready to help however we can.

Our Solutions

Banyan Theory builds websites for independent insurance agencies as well as the underlying software to construct, host, and manage those websites. Our two primary software platforms are LightRail and Webtricity, and LightMail is a close integration partner.

LightRail is our original platform designed for constructing & managing insurance agency websites.


Webtricity is our newer platform for insurance agency websites that allows for more self-service & DIY choices.


LightMail is an integration partner offering electronic signatures and templated emails for insurance.


What We're Up To

We're always eager to speak with new agencies to see how we might be able to help them achieve their goals with a new website, so if that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

We're also always looking for ways to improve our insurance website designs and our software. If you have any ideas for new features we could add that would help you out, or suggestions for new integrations, or if you're part of a network that might be interested in getting discounts for its member agencies, please let us know.
