HubSpot CMS Hub Professional provides scaling businesses with agile content management, drag-and-drop editing, and built-in security to replace fragmented plugins.

Modern businesses require agile, secure websites to generate revenue. Historically, organisations built websites using a patchwork of third-party plugins and external integrations. Over time, these plugins become outdated, putting the security and performance of the website at risk.
HubSpot CMS Hub resolves this by providing a fully managed, natively integrated platform. It eliminates the maintenance burden associated with traditional open-source platforms. When organisations deploy their digital presence on HubSpot CMS Hub using structured frameworks like strutoCX, they typically reach measurable time to value in an average of 32 days.*

CMS Hub Professional is designed for businesses seeking a secure, all-in-one system that removes technical friction for marketing teams.
Themes and Drag-and-Drop Editing
Themes allow developers to build a set of structural guardrails, ensuring brand consistency. Marketers can then use the intuitive drag-and-drop editor to build and update landing pages instantly without writing code or requesting IT support.
Dynamic Content with HubDB
Creating dynamic content is an efficient way to scale a website. HubDB allows administrators to create relational data tables for content like product catalogues or event calendars. When the central data table is updated, the information automatically syncs across every referenced page on the website.
CMS Hub Enterprise is built for scaling organisations that require highly tailored user experiences, advanced governance, and complex web development capabilities.
Serverless Functions
Building interactive web applications, such as dynamic pricing calculators or real-time event registration systems, traditionally requires developers to configure and manage external servers. CMS Hub Enterprise includes serverless functions, allowing developers to execute server-side code directly within HubSpot without managing underlying infrastructure.
Memberships and Personalisation
Standard personalisation relies on basic demographic tokens. Memberships allow businesses to restrict access to premium content or create entirely bespoke portals. Because CMS Hub connects directly to the HubSpot CRM, you can serve highly tailored web pages based on a specific user's historical interactions with your company.
Brand Domains and Activity Logs
As an enterprise scales or acquires new businesses, it often requires multiple websites. CMS Hub Enterprise includes two brand domains, allowing teams to build and report on separate websites from a single portal. To support this scale, activity logs provide strict governance, giving administrators total visibility into which internal users are modifying website assets.
A serverless function allows developers to write and execute server-side code (such as Node.js) directly within HubSpot. This enables the creation of complex, interactive web applications without the need to configure or maintain external server infrastructure.
Yes. HubSpot CMS Hub Enterprise includes two brand domains by default, allowing you to host and manage multiple distinct websites from a single HubSpot portal. Additional brand domains can be purchased as your business scales.
HubDB is a relational database within HubSpot CMS. It allows you to create tables of data, such as staff directories or product listings. Developers use HubL (HubSpot Markup Language) to query these tables and display the data dynamically across multiple website pages.
