2.Create Child Theme

As soon as you buy or download a theme, HubSpot will prompt you to start editing the page templates of the CMS theme. However, before rushing into starting your newly designed pages, consider creating a child theme. 

Why? 

Setting up a child theme of the ACTIVISM HubSpot theme 

  • preserves the ability of the updates to be applied to the parent theme. 
  • Additionally, anyone including us, a third party, or you can change the code on your portal and extend your requirements and theme styles that are not currently adjustable on the parent theme.  
  • Even if you’re not going to edit the theme at all, creating a child theme ensures, you can receive regular updates from the HubSpot marketplace without hindering your customizations. 
  • Once the theme has been purchased, you can build up to 5 child themes with separate branding under the same account. In fact, Users of CMS Hub Enterprise can set up as many as 10 child themes.

  • Open your HubSpot account > navigate to marketing > choose files and templates > select design tools
