Hubspot Vs WordPress

I always been a person, who love setup something quickly and easy, maybe because we don’t usually want to take too much time in things when you have a bunch of work in a day, that’s why WordPress (WP) its been always a very easy CMS to install and manage, but lets get clear if you understand already the base of Inbound Marketing it will be easily to understand this post! WordPress is one of the coolest CMS I’ve ever used, but WP is just only a blogging tool not a marketing tool focused on lead generation and sales.

So if you understand the Inbound Marketing funnels you will see that WP is just the entry part that allows you to build traffic from your website, generating leads that later on will be guide by hubspot defining your persona. In somewhere in the world there may be people who have over 100,000 Pvs per month out there and not leads, that’s what I call don’t have define your persona. If you are trying to bring those users who regularly check your website you might have to start to think in use CTA (Call to Actions) taking you to a LP(Landing Pages) and giving campaign offers that makes users field their information on FORMS, getting the chance to track your persona and lead then to be your future clients.

Hubspot vs WordPress as CMS

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term CMS (Content Management System), a CMS is a platform that allows users to build websites and be in control of them without having using much programing code, is very easily to manage, actually you don’t even need to know code to be in control of it, if you ever have use Microsoft Office Word you will be very familiar with this platform.

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.

HubSpot have integrate their own CMS, but users are not require to use it unless you are in a lower package (Basic Plan) that will have to build or migrate their website to HubSpot’s CMS. As a Inbound Marketer I always suggest to my clients to do not build or migrate their website into HubSpot for avoid future risk regarding to the software changes and DB. In the personal part WordPress complement Hubspot as a CMS or Platform that build traffic as the “Attract Funnel”.
