There are dozens of solid website hosting and marketing platforms to choose from out there. Selecting the right platform for your company website can be a daunting task whether you’re starting from scratch or wanting to move your current site. HubSpot offers a simple and easy solution that integrates every important website marketing and management tool you could ever need, all in one platform. But HubSpot is more than a website host, it’s a robust tool system developed to make your next website project as amazing an experience as possible. For you and your clients.
For anyone considering becoming a HubSpot user, I thought it would be helpful to talk about why it is the preferred website Content Management System (CMS) and platform to use. We are a HubSpot Platinum Certified Agency Partner, because we love HubSpot project tools for our own marketing and sales needs. The success we have had with HubSpot, and our familiarity with it, is why we recommend the platform to our own clients.
HubSpot has a robust set of tools that can boost your marketing and sales efforts. Typically it’s for businesses interested in a better way to attract website visitors, convert them into leads, and close sales. Check out this article to see HubSpot’s pricing information and the different plan options.
Hosting Your Website on HubSpot
If you’re using HubSpot for the first time, you have two options for your website. You'll either start fresh with a new website or migrate your current site "as is" to the HubSpot CMS Hub.
A new site is a blank canvas. You can use HubSpot’s website templates or you can seek help from a HubSpot web designer and developer team. Your path here really depends on the purpose of your new site. If creating a lead-generating website is on your mind, HubSpot is definitely for you.
If you already have a website you love, migrating your existing site to HubSpot from WordPress, Wix, Weebly, and more is a simple process for you. HubSpot does all of the work! Depending on the size of your site and the number of pages you want to migrate, the process typically takes two to three weeks.
Once you’re set up and your website is plugged into its new home, it’s time to enjoy all of the benefits!
HubSpot Features: The Ultimate Website Tool Belt
Like we mentioned at the top, HubSpot has a wide range of tools that make it an option for businesses that are using a portfolio of different tools. You can have one program (HubSpot) instead of having your website hosted on one platform, using a different program to track data and a third program to create forms.

It's also worth noting that every webpage using HubSpot is editable. However, if you ever feel like you're in over your head, HubSpot has a solution for that too.
