Building a website or landing page requires effort from various stakeholders, such as designers, developers, and content managers. Luckily, Themes have been created to make everyone's job easier!

HubSpot Themes are a library of files that make it easy to create beautiful websites that convert. In this blog, we will discuss different HubSpot Themes and how they can benefit your site.

What is a Theme?

A theme is a set of templates, modules, global content, and style settings that can be used to create a website. Rather than hard coding a website from the ground up, using a theme for your website or landing page saves time and makes it easy for developers and content managers to edit and upload content.

Horizon Theme

The OTF Team has worked with thousands of clients internationally and the most recommended theme is the Horizon Theme.

The Horizon Theme offers highly advanced theme settings, responsive-ready modules, global partials header/footer, and 10 templates. It has a variety of modules for the header and footer, mega menus, and atomic modules that make small tasks.

This Theme was built by OTF so if you’re a client, you do not have to pay to use it! Additionally, our team are highly experienced and can support your website development and design needs with this theme.

However, the Horizon Theme may require advanced development for custom requirements, and it is not yet public in the marketplace. Thus, it may not be suitable for time-sensitive projects or when a client brings a theme that they know and like. In such cases, the designs should follow the structure of the theme.

Sprocket Rocket

Another popular HubSpot Theme is the Sprocket Rocket, which is 100% modular and designed for marketers using HubSpot CMS.

It comes with a dedicated design and productivity app, the Sprocket Rocket App, which is a visual layout builder that allows anyone to build full-page layouts in as little as 60 seconds. It has 46 pre-built, stackable modules, multiple options for navigation, footer, and hero sections. Additionally, it’s fully customizable and has ready-to-use page templates for every need, such as Home, About, Contact, Case Study, and more.

The Sprocket Rocket Theme is easy to use and doesn't require coding, but for several structure modifications, advanced and custom modules or edits in depth, a developer must be involved in the process. It has easy ID and classes in modules for code customization, and the documentation is comprehensive. However, in some cases, you need to follow the module’s structure to create content if the client doesn't want to code. Moreover, the global setting of the theme doesn't provide a wide variety of options. The mobile versions have restrictions due to the way the modules have been built, but the content will auto-adapt.
