When it comes to Custom Modules in HubSpot - you name it, we can build it.

Anything from a simple re-usable button with multiple styling options, all the way to a sliding product carousel which draws its product info from a google sheet acting has a simple database, you can do a great many things with Custom Modules.

They help to reduce repetition, and to increase the functionality of a piece of code that normally would have to be re-worked time and time again. With custom modules, we place the power of choice in the hands of our content curators and clients, letting them choose the content that goes into a module, not to mention how said module behaves.

Custom modules allow you to apply Text, Rich Text, Boolean, Image or Choice placeholders to your code. So for example, instead of creating a button which says “Click Here”, you put in a text placeholder, which allows your content curators, or our clients, to change the text on the button when they’re editing their pages or posts.
