Why We Prefer To Build Websites On HubSpot

Where you build your website is one of the most important business decisions you’ll make. The platform you use can impact everything from the user experience (UX) to how you scale your sales and marketing initiatives as your business grows. 

For some companies, the wrong CMS platform can be the thing that silently suffocates potential. Your time and resources are funnelled into fixing snags and troubleshooting instead of optimising for sales and converting traffic. 

The result? A Frankenstein creation that frequently crashes and no self-respecting developer wants to touch. 

That’s why, as a business, and through extensive research and experience, we’ve come to the conclusion that there ain’t no place like HubSpot for a website. While we also work with WordPress, 75% of our websites sit on the HubSpot platform.

Who is the HubSpot CMS for?

If you want a fantastic looking website that has all the functionality you’re looking for without needing a developer all the time, HubSpot CMS is for you. It’s reliable, well supported, maintained and purpose-built for businesses with big growth ambitions.

Why HubSpot is the complete package

Your website forms a part of your digital marketing strategy. Therefore, when you look at things objectively, there’s no denying that HubSpot’s services are more tailored to businesses that are trying to set up their online presence for the long haul. 

Landing pages, blogging, social media, analytics, marketing automation, and lead management  – these can all be managed and centralised within the HubSpot platform, requiring very little technical knowledge. 

The analytics reports and dashboards are invaluable when trying to understand traffic and interactions on your website so that you can take fast actions to improve conversions. 

A huge advantage when it comes to HubSpot is the user-friendly interface and the drag-and-drop page builder. For our clients, this is very empowering. It means that after we build your website and offer guidance on the best practices, you’re free to edit and add content or functionalities as you wish –– there are no tie ins.  HubSpot is renowned for being user-centric, and we love that. 

It’s easy to personalise your website and content, from the call-to-action buttons to the forms and pages you want to build –– each template is customisable and ready for you to put your stamp on it. 

The built-in SEO tools give relevant suggestions that help to ensure your pages are optimised and performing as they should be. 

HubSpot’s Winning Features:

• Landing page creation
• A/B testing
• Build and preview pages before publishing
• Automatically responsive for all devices
• Hosting is included in the software package
• Drag-and-drop feature
• Analytics, reporting and easy to understand dashboards

HubSpot is a secure and stable platform

A lot of time and investment goes into HubSpot – these guys really take their product and service seriously. That’s why, unlike WordPress where the open-source element can be a blessing and a curse, all apps and integrations on HubSpot are vetted. Changes to the platform are always rolled out by HubSpot and everything is thoroughly tested. 

Unfortunately, WordPress sites are susceptible to hacking and this can have devastating outcomes for a business. This isn’t a problem with HubSpot – it’s a closed-loop system that protects you from opportunists. 

HubSpot prioritises customer service, so whenever a question arises, you can rest assured that a swift and throughout explanation will be making its way over to you. With WordPress, you may find yourself in the dark and winding forum alleys and blog articles, hoping to find the answers. 

In contrast, HubSpot gives you expert support (from a real live human ) ensuring that the advice you’re receiving is trustworthy. 

Frequent performance reports on HubSpot will also alert you to issues and make managing and maintaining your website much easier.
