More Details on Vertical, Framework, and Impact

While Vertical, Framework, and Impact differ in appearance and target different industries, some similarities are essential to mention. With each, you get multiple settings to style your templates and custom modules to match your branding. You can make sweeping changes across your site to things like spacing, primary fonts, secondary fonts, box shadows, and more using the global settings feature, or you can use individual page settings for a page-by-page experience.

Each theme lets you use as many drag-and-drop modules as you need on individual pages. Layout and styling options allow for customization to adjust the modules to your content and make them unique to your business. You can change things such as:

  • Dark/light modes for entire modules or text
  • Overlaps
  • Background - desktop and mobile
  • Padding
  • Border
  • Text alignment
  • Lists - including changing the bullet type, spacing, and bullet colors
  • Image fit
  • Aspect ratios
  • Hover animations and media animations
  • Label and button color/position in forms
  • Video play button colors

Saved Sections, a new feature of these themes, let you drag and drop entire sections like testimonial sliders or FAQs, to save time and eliminate needing to rebuild repeatable portions of your site. Animations, another new feature, will help you quickly grab the attention of your visitors.

Comprehensive blog capabilities help your business market itself easily. Vertical, Framework, and Impact all come with the ability to build striking blogs to house all your important content without any heavy lifting. You can edit your blog listings, feature trending articles, adjust how users filter content, and add modules to fit your needs. These themes are also all ADA-compliant across all your pages, with you having complete control over copy and color options.

And of course, they all work with CMS Hub Free, so you can build a website with no upfront costs that grow with you as needed!

What is CMS Hub Free?

CMS Hub Free, launched in summer 2022, is HubSpot’s free, basic version of its content management system (CMS) and website builder. The free version offers many of the same capabilities as paid versions of CMS Hub, such as:

  • Premium hosting
  • Drag-and-drop editor and a large selection of themes (such as Vertical, Framework, and Impact)
  • Free tools like forms, live chat, blogs, and other features of HubSpot’s free CRM

However, it is limited in how many pages you can build. CMS Hub Free lets you create 25 webpages and one blog with 100 posts. But if you’re a new business getting off the ground, CMS Hub Free, alongside Vertical, Framework, and Impact, can make all the difference in your efforts.

Get Started Today

Whether you’re new to building webpages and need something like CMS Hub Free or are already using a tier of CMS Hub, you’ll want to check out the new themes from Lynton that work with all versions of CMS Hub.
