What is HubSpot CMS Hub?
CMS Hub is a website builder that offers flexibility for marketers and powerful customization for developers.

HubSpot
CMS Hub boasts an impressive list of features to help you optimize your site — custom SEO recommendations, content marketing tools, Google Search Console, and machine-learning powered testing to help you isolate the best performing version of your website. Plus, pairing CMS Hub with HubSpot’s marketing tools gives you a full view of your customer journey - from your website and beyond.
Squarespace
While Squarespace does come with a useful SEO checklist, it lacks CMS Hub's advanced tools and customization. Squarespace has tools that help businesses optimize a small ecommerce website, but does not have the power of a connected CRM to fully optimize and personalize a website.

For businesses small and large that want unbeatable security and reliability, HubSpot’s CMS Hub is an excellent choice. A dedicated 24/7 security team, SSL certificates, and activity logging keep your website secure, while integrated image compression and custom content delivery network (CDN) ensure lightning-fast speed.
Squarespace
Squarespace also boasts a security team committed to ensuring your data’s privacy. It utilizes SSL certificates and HSTS encryption for website sessions. However, websites made with Squarespace often struggle to load quickly without image compression services and with Squarespace's image-heavy templates.

Using CMS Hub’s native features or third-party integrations like Shopify, ecommerce businesses can set up an online store and collect payments through their CMS Hub website. When adding HubSpot’s Payments tool, users can collect many types of payments, set up SaaS subscriptions, and customize the payment page workflow.
Squarespace
Squarespace is optimized with small ecommerce stores in mind. Its main draws are the rich product listings and ease of use. Retailers can also track and manage their inventory and provide customers with a custom checkout experience and real-time shipping estimates.

HubSpot
Despite the powerful features that CMS Hub offers, you can still easily create a beautiful and functional website with it. You don’t need any extra plugins to build a blog, landing page, or gallery. There's a custom look for everyone, with thousands of themes to choose from and intuitive drag-and-drop layouts. For the most flexibility, there is extensive developer documentation and community to help you build your website from the ground up with APIs and code.
Squarespace
Squarespace offers hundreds of customizable features and dozens of trendy themes. Many of the themes are optimized for creative portfolios, and several blog and ecommerce themes are also available. Still, Squarespace offers less customization for beginners and advanced developers than HubSpot.
