HubSpot CMS Starter Has Arrived! Check Out The Benefits

Great news! HubSpot, the full platform of marketing, sales, customer service and CRM software, has launched CMS (Content Management System) Starter (3rd August 2021)! I am going to discuss some of the many features and benefits to businesses looking to build a website using the platform.

?What is HubSpot CMS?

HubSpot CMS is HubSpot’s Content Management System which allows growing businesses to build websites fast and effectively using flexible web themes.?

• If you are a marketer, you can use the intuitive drag and drop features to build web pages for every device.?
• If you are a developer, you can build websites with flexible themes giving marketers the capability to make any last-minute changes on their own.
• Also, for IT Teams, the great thing about HubSpot CMS is that there are no plug-ins to maintain. Additional benefits include SSL, dedicated 24/7 security team, enterprise-class web application firewall and plenty more!?

The other main benefit to having a website built in HubSpot CMS is that it opens your business up to a wide range of other HubSpot fantastic products including sales, marketing and service tools that can help increase business growth?

HubSpot CMS is also the only content management system that is backed by a CRM system.?This allows you to track every visitor to your website in one place and create tailored content based on CRM data. HubSpot CMS and CRM are a powerful combination which enables your website to be the vehicle for huge growth.?
