From Basehub to Hubspot CMS

We are the Basehub to Hubspot CMS migration experts

Challenges with Basehub

Key pain points

BaseHub is one of those platforms that feels like it was built by a developer, for a developer, and at no point did anyone ask, “Won't marketers need to be able to edit on the go?” Once you’re inside, it’s tables inside tables inside tables, like a Russian doll but somehow less fun. And as we’ve said before, we genuinely appreciate good engineering… but BaseHub often feels like someone shipped the database schema and called it a CMS.

BaseHub is painful to use, in our opinion. Because the platform is still young, features sometimes glitch, real-time collaboration hiccups, and localization or migration workflows can get messy fast. Documentation gaps and unpredictable branching only add to the frustration. If you're determined to build on BaseHub, we can walk you through the safest path… or at least help you avoid the inevitable “why is this breaking again?” moments.

Occasional feature glitches

New features sometimes ship a bit wobbly, so expect the occasional “why is this suddenly broken?” moment.

Not yet enterprise-ready

It’s great for small teams, but big orgs will hit walls fast. Workflow maturity and stability just aren’t there yet.

Limited third-party integrations

If you rely on a rich ecosystem, BaseHub won’t meet you halfway. You’ll be wiring a lot of things yourself.

Localization support gaps

Multi-region content teams will feel the pain quickly as language handling still needs serious tightening.

API rate limiting constraints

Push it too hard and you’ll hit rate limits faster than you expect, which can block larger deployments.

Sporadic stability issues

Real-time collaboration and branching can hiccup under pressure, making scaling workflows frustrating.

Benefits of Hubspot CMS

Key advantages

HubSpot whole ecosystem is designed so business users can update pages, run campaigns, and push content without ever Slacking a developer at 9 p.m.

It’s genuinely simple to implement, the drag-and-drop editor behaves, and the CRM integration does all the heavy lifting, from personalization to lead capture to automated follow-ups. You barely need a dev unless you’re trying to make something unusually fancy, because HubSpot’s whole pitch is: “Let marketing ship it themselves.”

But if you do want to build something more complex or need help figuring out where HubSpot fits into your stack, reach out. We can help you avoid unnecessary and very expensive upgrades, weird theme restrictions, and the classic “why is this locked behind Enterprise?” surprise.

Intuitive drag-and-drop interface

Non-technical teams can update pages, layouts, and content without ever pinging a developer. The editor is straightforward, visual, and fast, making day-to-day site changes painless.

Deep CRM integration

Forms, leads, emails, CTAs, and all of it connect back to HubSpot’s CRM automatically. This gives teams real personalisation power and a unified view of how users move from visitor to lead to customer.

Built-in SEO tools and analytics

HubSpot flags issues, suggests improvements, and provides performance insights without extra tools. It’s practical for teams who want clear SEO direction baked directly into the CMS.

Secure cloud hosting with SSL/CDN

Hosting, security patches, SSL, and updates are all handled by HubSpot. Sites stay fast and secure without anyone babysitting servers or worrying about downtime.

Lead tracking and management

Every form submission, chat, and CTA is automatically tracked. Marketing and sales teams get full visibility into user behaviour without setting up a separate tracking stack.

Live WYSIWYG previews

Changes can be reviewed in real time before publishing, which reduces mistakes and makes approvals easier. What you see in the editor actually matches what goes live
