Building a Business Website with HubSpot CMS

"Previously published as Make a Website for Your Business With No Code by Jacob Lett"

Want to Create a Business Website for Marketing and Sales?
I have been a part of many website redesign projects, which often take a lot of time and can be expensive. If your company doesn’t have the skills in-house, you must spend time vetting service providers and setting up the contract with legal and accounting. Then you must spend time with discovery meetings, design meetings, strategy meetings, etc.
Sometimes, this lengthy web development process is necessary, but what if you know what you want but don’t have the technical web development skills to create it?
I have seen business owners, marketers, and web designers build websites and landing pages in days or weeks using no-code page builders. There is a growing trend in website page builders like Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, and HubSpot CMS. These platforms provide visual page editors and themes to increase the speed and simplicity of building a website dramatically.
Instead of fussing about the web design before any content is written, you can use a theme close to what you need. After you add the content, you can hire a developer to make customizations to fine-tune your website, saving you considerable time and money.

About the Author, Jake Lett
I started out building WordPress websites as a freelancer and saw how powerful a content management system can be for a non-technical user. Then about 7 years ago, I worked at a company that used HubSpot. At first, it was very confusing because it was a whole new workflow and a new coding language HubL.
But over time, I saw HubSpot CMS continually being improved and how marketers loved using it. I was able to build templates that were smart and could adapt to the needs and challenges of a marketing team without having to leverage third-party plugins or custom PHP scripts.
