If you’re just beginning your online journey, HubSpot makes it easy to build and manage your website—even if you don’t have technical experience. With its drag-and-drop editor, built-in templates, and marketing tools, you can create a professional site in just a few steps. Here’s a simple guide to get started.

 

Step 1: Create Your HubSpot Account

The first thing you’ll need is a HubSpot account. You can sign up for free and immediately access the CMS Hub, where you’ll manage all your website pages.

 

Step 2: Choose a Template

HubSpot offers ready-to-use website templates. Browse the HubSpot Marketplace to find a design that matches your brand and goals. Templates save you time and ensure your site looks professional from the start.

 

Step 3: Customize Your Pages

Using HubSpot’s drag-and-drop editor, you can easily:

  • Add text, images, and videos

  • Change colors and fonts to fit your brand

  • Rearrange sections to match your preferred layout

No coding required—everything is visual and beginner-friendly.
