Thinking About Migrating to HubSpot CMS? Here’s What Marketers Need to Know

“Migration shouldn’t mean disruption—it should mean acceleration.”

If you’re currently on WordPress, Webflow, Wix, or any other CMS, and you’re exploring a move to HubSpot CMS, you’re not alone.

We’ve helped dozens of marketers and agencies migrate their websites to HubSpot—not just to change platforms, but to unlock speed, control, and campaign efficiency.

In this post, we’ll explain exactly what a smart HubSpot CMS migration looks like, what you’ll gain, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Why Migrate to HubSpot CMS?

Here’s what marketers tell us right before they switch:

  • We’re tired of waiting for devs to update simple things.
  • Our current CMS breaks every time we install a plugin.
  • The marketing team doesn’t feel confident making edits.
  • Tracking, forms, and CRM integration are unreliable.
  • We need speed, control, and scalability.

HubSpot CMS is purpose-built for marketing and growth teams. But the real value is unlocked when your migration is structured, clean, and performance-ready.

What You Gain After Migration

When done right, a HubSpot CMS migration gives you:

Benefit Description
No-Code Editing Drag-and-drop content updates, no dev required
Faster Page Creation Use templates and modules to build in minutes
Scalable Structure Create reusable modules and sections
Better Performance & SEO Optimised page speed, structured data, and meta
Native CRM & Automation Track, segment, and nurture leads in one place
Integrated Analytics View performance data without 3rd-party tools

Common Migration Mistakes (and How We Avoid Them)

  • Copying Bad Structure: We don’t just move your site; we build it modularly for scale.
  • Forgetting SEO Basics: We ensure redirects, metadata, and structured content stay intact (or improve).
  • Hardcoding Everything: We build your new site with editable modules and smart global settings.
  • Not Training the Team: Every handoff includes walkthroughs and documentation so your marketers can move fast, solo.
