A new investment will always bring up questions. "What will it cost?” is inevitably one of the most common questions in this case since the price is often what can delay a new implementation. If you are familiar with HubSpot as a platform you probably already know about the existing levels - Professional and Enterprise - which start at 360 and 1200 USD per month.

Build fast, secure and reliable websites 

For smaller businesses and teams there can be several challenges with IT resources when it’s time to build a new website. A whole new website is not built overnight though and without the right skills, challenges can quickly arise regarding security, speed and credibility for the website. This is all a part of CMS Hub Starter which makes it possible for marketers to focus on building a website that provides a great customer experience instead of placing additional resources on technology and development. 

With CMS Hub Starter you also get access to security features such as SSL, firewall for web applications and a globally hosted CDN.

Build websites that stands out 

One big challenge when it comes to choosing the right CMS system is the difficulty in finding a system that works for both marketers and developers. Often the systems are aimed at either / or.  Either a solution that is built to make it easier for marketers to easily publish content, or the opposite - a tool built for developers which marketers do not feel comfortable with. 

Businesses with the goal to grow can now take advantage of marketers and developers using the same CMS. HubSpots new level gives developers the right tools to be able to create flexible solutions for marketers to work in. In this way, marketers are able to take lead on the web site and update it as they wish. The result of this is often a high quality web site that stands out, since developers and marketers are putting their very skilled heads together in the same system to build something with the best of two worlds.
