In recent years, HubSpot has gained a lot of recognition as an online sales and marketing platform. What is less known, however, is the solid foundation HubSpot CMS provides for building websites. Why having your website built in HubSpot CMS is a great idea is outlined in this article.
With HubSpot CMS, you combine the power of a content-driven website with CRM and marketing automation. You can choose to have only your website built in HubSpot CMS and organize your marketing activities through other tools. Thanks to the HubSpot API, it is possible to exchange data with many external tools such as Mailchimp, Facebook, and SurveyMonkey.
Moreover, HubSpot also offers its own extremely popular CRM and sales and marketing modules. By working integrated, you can see where new leads come from and further process and follow up these contacts (and reel them in as customers). Through one platform, you can:
If your website has a clear marketing purpose, then HubSpot is an interesting alternative to, for example, the well-known WordPress. By having your website built in HubSpot CMS, you create a powerhouse of a lead generator.
HubSpot CMS is a very user-friendly content management system (CMS). Even without technical knowledge, you can perform content work on your website, such as adjusting and creating pages or blogs. In addition, the data tables ensure that you can quickly update your entire website, such as on the overview page of your employees. It is also easy to give others, such as a translation agency, access to HubSpot CMS. If you need an additional language version of your site, the translation agency can work excellently in it. If you want to adjust your content at the country level yourself, that is also perfectly manageable in-house. Or just let us do it, just as easy. After all, we are that coveted marketing colleague. In addition, you quickly create forms and run reports. Websites we recently delivered in HubSpot CMS include the B2B websites of Legalsense and More Optimal.
Within HubSpot CMS, just like within WordPress, you can choose existing themes or templates. If you want every detail to be tailored to your brand and market approach, then a specialized HubSpot web builder (us, us, us!) can design a custom-made template for you. This way, you make no compromises on your brand and objectives.
And it doesn't stop there
These are not all the advantages of HubSpot CMS. What about smart content that personalizes certain modules and blocks on your website based on so-called viewer criteria? In addition, in HubSpot CMS, you automatically get recommendations on SEO improvement points. You can quickly perform A/B tests on your web pages and offer visitors the option to contact you via a live chat. Oh, and did we mention that the HubSpot CMS base module is free?
