Seven Questions UK Startups Should Consider Asking HubSpot CMS Agencies

Choosing a competent HubSpot CMS website development services company is crucial for your startup’s online success. There are many companies that claim to be specialists in HubSpot but only a few truly are; there are several important questions you have to ask when choosing one. oApps Infotech makes it easy for UK startups to find such an agency offering seven years of exclusive experience in HubSpot CMS development.

Here are seven important questions you should ask every agency dealing in HubSpot CMS.

• Ensure that the agency possesses current certifications in HubSpot for the development of CMS websites.
• Request for case studies and testimonials from existing startups in the UK who have similar business models and goals.
• Understand the process involved in providing support after the launch and the speed at which the agency tackles website emergencies.
• oApps Infotech is an agency that assists UK startups in developing scalable HubSpot CMS websites with continuous support.
• Check if the agency provides third party integration assistance required by the startup.

Depending on your business goals, you may want a partner that can achieve any tier from Gold to Platinum, Diamond, or Elite partner status.

Be sure to ask if they have any CMS Hub Implementation and HubSpot CMS for Developers certifications, which means they know how to develop using the HubSpot framework, including working with HubL templating, modules, and content structure. oApps Infotech, for example, holds over 45 HubSpot certifications among their development team members.

The generic portfolios of the enterprise clients might not be reflective of the needs that your startup may have. You should request examples from businesses who are at a comparable stage of development, preferably within the same UK market environment.

These results could be in terms of improved page loading times, higher conversion rates, or successful CRM integration, and would indicate if the agency understands the priorities of a startup business.

Learn how the agency implements API integrations and synchronisation with HubSpot for your tech stack. A certified HubSpot partner will be able to elaborate on the custom integration process and data flow monitoring.

Make sure the agency is clear about how long it takes to respond to urgent requests compared to regular tasks. oApps Infotech provides monthly retainer support based on SLAs and you know exactly what kind of support you’ll be receiving once your website goes live. Contact the agency to discuss support services.

The experienced agency will audit your current site, develop a strategy for redirects and make sure all of the key pages have SEO value. As per a UK study, 75% of customers consider web design when assessing company credibility. Ask the agency for their checklist for a migration project and how do they evaluate their results.

Startups have tight budget and need to be able to predict expenses. Ask if the agency offers fixed price quotes following the discovery phase or works by the hour.

Transparent scope of work allows you to understand clearly what exactly you’ll be paying for. The agency needs to define deliverables, milestones and any assumptions affecting the price. oApps Infotech scopes up the projects without overselling.

While HubSpot CMS comes with drag-and-drop editor capability, not all deployments are convenient for non-technical people. Find out whether the agency creates templates and modules taking into account content editors needs.

Ask for a demo of the editing process. Your marketing team must be able to edit text, images, calls-to-action without creating a ticket for each adjustment. Explore our collection of HubSpot themes made by oApps Infotech to get an idea.
