Building a Website with HubSpot: 9 Tips for a High-Converting Digital Hub

Your website isn’t just a brochure. It’s your digital growth engine — and if it’s not driving conversions, it’s costing you.

That’s where HubSpot CMS Hub shines. With the right strategy, tools, and structure, you can build a website that doesn’t just look good — it generates leads, supports sales, and scales with your business.

Here are 9 proven tips from Epic RevOps to help you build a high-converting website inside HubSpot.

1. Use the Full Power of CMS Hub

HubSpot’s CMS isn’t just drag-and-drop. It’s designed to fuel revenue.

• Themes and Modules – Reusable blocks for quick page builds
• Smart Content – Personalize by lifecycle stage or persona
• HubDB – Dynamic data for listings, FAQs, and resources
• Multi-language and adaptive testing – For global and performance-ready sites
• Built-in SEO and Analytics – Optimize as you go, no plugins required

2. Nail the SEO Fundamentals (Inside HubSpot)

HubSpot makes SEO easier with built-in recommendations, but you still need to get the essentials right:

• Set up topic clusters with pillar pages and internal linking
• Optimize headers, alt text, and meta descriptions
• Use HubSpot’s SEO tool to flag technical issues and missed opportunities
• Track keyword rankings directly inside your dashboard

Pro tip: Use HubSpot’s content strategy tool to plan your topic tree — not just keywords.

3. Prioritize UI/UX from Day One

A beautiful site doesn’t matter if people don’t know where to click.

• Keep navigation simple (3–5 top-level items max)
• Use consistent button styles and calls to action
• Make sure mobile UX is seamless
• Reduce decision friction with white space and clear headlines

Think: fewer distractions, more direction.

4. Use Smart CTAs and Conversion Modules

Your website isn’t a portfolio — it’s a lead gen machine.

• Use Smart CTAs that adapt based on user behavior or lifecycle stage
• Add conversion-focused modules like sticky bars, meeting links, and exit-intent popups
• Insert HubSpot forms that trigger nurture workflows instantly
• Build resource hubs with gated content to collect high-intent leads

Personalized calls-to-action equal higher engagement and better-qualified pipeline.

5. Build for Speed and Scalability

Slow websites kill conversion.

Use HubSpot’s CDN and global hosting for blazing load times. Don’t overstuff pages with uncompressed images or third-party scripts.

Bonus: CMS Hub Enterprise allows custom object integration, membership pages, and advanced security — perfect for scaling companies.

6. Create Landing Pages with a Purpose

Every campaign deserves its own landing page. And every landing page should:

• Have one goal
• Remove distractions
• Use directional design
• Feature a benefit-first headline and CTA above the fold

HubSpot’s landing page builder makes this fast — and highly testable.

7. Don’t Ignore Integrations

Need booking, analytics, chat, or personalization?
HubSpot connects with over 1,000 apps, including:

• Calendly, Chili Piper, Zoom
• Google Analytics and Tag Manager
• Hotjar, Drift, Intercom
• Clearbit, Segment, Typeform

One-click installs make it easy. Just make sure you map the user journey end to end.

8. Track Everything That Matters

Don’t fly blind.

Use HubSpot dashboards to track:

• CTA clicks and page bounce rates
• Conversion by traffic source
• Blog post engagement
• Lead progression through lifecycle stages

Set up funnel reports to visualize what’s working — and where visitors are dropping off.
