Build your website with HubSpot CMS
Creating a website is a crucial step for any company or individual looking to establish an online presence. With HubSpot CMS tools, building and customizing a website has become easier than ever before. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a website using HubSpot.
Choose a theme and configure templates
A theme is a set of templates and modules that can be used to streamline and standardize the website creation process. To get started with HubSpot, select a theme that fits your needs from the theme library or contact us to create your own custom theme. Selected themes can be modified by customizing their settings. Landing page and blog posts can have their own separate themes that are independent of the main website theme.

Page building and content creation
After selecting and customizing a theme or template, use it to build the pages of your website. You can use different types of templates depending on the type of subpage you want to create. In the content editor, you can add images, videos, custom fonts, or other files uploaded to HubSpot to customize the content. When building a page in HubSpot CMS, you can also utilize ready-made functional modules within your chosen template. This makes it easy to create and add elements like forms, image carousels, photo grids, embedded page section tabs, appointment scheduling calendars, CTAs, social media buttons and links, menus, headers, and more.
