H ubSpot The W ordPress Ki l ler

So, you?re si t t ing there, browsing your W ordPress adm in screen, batch delet ing today?s 958 spam com m ents, whi le you?re searching for that plugin you real ly need in another tab, hoping that i t?s st i l l fr ee, suppor ted and not bloatware.

This is your l i fe now. W hen you?re not wak ing up in the m iddle of the n ight wi th a cold sweat, wonder ing i f your si te has been brought down again by that hack you can?t get r id off, you?re anxiously ask ing yoursel f i f anyone is even visi t ing your si te at al l .

9

There is a better way - the H ubSpot way.

The In boun d w ay.

Read on to f ind out why H ubSpot is the way forward as far as m arket ing your websi te on l ine is concerned.

10

Bl oggi n g

Blogging in W ordPress is a fair ly sim ple affair - which can be both a blessing and a curse. M ain ly a curse. W hen you want to wr i te an ar t icle, you?re essential ly presented with l im ited opt ions (depending of course on which them e you?ve purchased, which plugins you?ve instal led, and i f your websi te hasn?t been hacked in the last 24hrs).

11

It 's essential ly a cook ie-cutter layout which does i ts job per fect ly wel l for the weekend blogger , who doesn?t par t icular ly care i f or where they rank on Google when they wr i te their 98th obscure post about that th ing you don?t care about.

H owever , i f you?re a business, or an individual who cares about r ank ing, who cares about being seen, and who doesn?t want to do i t through the use of 15 plugins of quest ionable in tegr i ty, then you?l l want to do i t through H ubSpot.

H ubSpot?s blog design was based purely on al terat ions which Google had m ade to their search resul t algor i thm s, and upcom ing tr ends in social search and responsive design - not to m ention the fact that i t?s seam lessly in tegrated with al l of the other tools in H ubSpot?s ever expanding ut i l i ty bel t of m arket ing goodies.

SEO

Out of the box, W ordPress com es with approxim ately zero SEO tools. Yes, i t offer s a m yr iad of SEO plugins, but i t would take lots of t im e, effor t and potent ial ly cost to f ind a plugin that would work anywhere near as effect ively as H ubSpot?s system .

H ubSpot is total ly grounded in SEO - as m entioned ear l ier - the ent i r e COS is pract ical ly a love letter to Google?s recent shi ft in the way they rank pages.

60% of al l or ganic cl icks go t o t he or ganic

13

An al yt i cs.

W henever som eone asks m e to descr ibe H ubSpot to them , I general ly begin with the fol lowing l ine:

Im agine i f Google Analyt ics, M ai lchim p and W ordPress had a lovechi ld; that lovechi ld would be H ubSpot.

14

I say th is because H ubSpot is l ike the per fect un ison of those three di fferent platform s - except instead of being an unorganised m ess, i t becom es th is synerget ic cornucopia of analyt ics r ight across the board.

H ubSpot r ecords and analyses everyth ing that happens on, and fr om your websi te - including visi tor s that com e to see your si te, or em ai ls that you send out to

potent ial custom ers - you even get to see which pages are gett ing cl icks, and which keywords you should tr y to gear your next blog post towards.

W ordPress on the other hand, can show you a handful of useful facts about views, visi tor s and where they?re com ing fr om - orders of m agnitude less than H ubSpot 's analyt ical output.

 

15

Li sts an d Em ai l

Lists m ake the wor ld go round in H ubSpot - they al low you to store al l -im por tant contacts, which essential ly opens the way to the rest of H ubSpot 's br ist l ing ar ray of m arket ing ar t i l ler y.

80.8% of user s r epor t r eading email on mobil e

devices. (HubSpot )

16

Sadly, W ordPress doesn?t offer contact l ists out of the box - what 's worse is that suppor t for such features in the W ordPress ecosystem is hard to com e by.

Add to th is that i t also doesn?t offer em ai l by defaul t ei ther , and th ings star t to get a l i t t le glum . Don?t get m e wrong though, there actual ly are som e adept em ai l apps

out there for W ordPress, but noth ing as lovingly in tegrated as H ubSpot?s em ai l system - which lets you play with fun th ings l ike personal isat ion per r ecipient, SEO optim isat ion and m ore.

17

Soci al M ed i a

Again, i ts a stor y of bui l t -in funct ional i ty, versus acquir ing said funct ional i ty by use of th ir d-par ty plugins. In th is scenar io, there are plenty of plugins out there for W ordPress which can do the job - none however seem to have as thorough a l ist of features as H ubSpot?s Social Inbox.

18

In th is Social Inbox, custom ers can create a segm ented str eam of tweets based on custom ers, or anyth ing else. You can stalk keywords, too. I t can also help you essential ly see som eones l i fe-cycle journey through the tr ansparent f i lm of their social m edia.

19

Secur i ty

In the past, we?ve had issues where we?ve had W ordPress websi tes hosted on a shared host ing envir onm ent - which is essential ly l ike swim m ing in a publ ic pool :

I t can be chlor inated to hel l and back , but anyone can get in , and i t 's just a m atter of t im e unt i l som ething you can?t un-see f loats past you.

20

If that analogy wasn?t obvious enough, let m e elaborate: M any shared host ing envir onm ents wi l l host your W ordPress si te wi thout a problem , and m ost l ikely serve i t at a great speed - however , un less you?re paying through the nose for an addi t ional layer of secur i ty, or you?ve instal led or purchased secur i ty in the form of a plugin speci f ical ly for your copy of W ordPress, OR you m anage to keep your copy of W ordPress updated al l the t im e, there is a chance som eone wi l l get in .

M ore often than not i ts not even necessar i ly a dir ect attack on your si te, but a r oot-k i t or a backdoor left in som eone else?s.

This isn?t a problem with H ubSpot - they have a ver i table shopping l ist of features which wi l l l i teral ly lower your blood-pressure and cholesterol when you hear them - ?Dedicated f i r ewal ls?, ?Enterpr ise-grade In tr usion Detect ion System s?, ?W eb Appl icat ion Fir ewal l?, ?DDoS M it igat ion Services?, the l ist goes on.

21

Now, th is m ight sound a l i t t le harsh - and i t on ly sounds that way because m any a t im e, i t was I who was asked to breathe l i fe in to a vir gin W ordPress instal lat ion, or tr awl countless plugins and them es, or deal wi th in ternat ional tech-suppor t as a cl ient?s si te would get hacked for the sixth t im e that week .

W ordPress isn?t the lur ching m onstrosi ty th is chapter m ight pain t i t as, but i t cer tain ly isn?t the on ly opt ion out there as far as m arket ing your business on l ine is concerned - there is a better , newer way to do th is, and that way is H ubSpot.

22

Roun d On e W i n n er

H ubSpot .

Right out of the box, H ubSpot has W ordPress beat. As far as features l ike blogging, SEO, em ai ls and l ists, secur i ty and social m edia go, i t 's in tegrat ion is a winn ing com binat ion.

23

Roun d Tw oSSL: W hat I t M eans, W hy Your W ebsite Needs I t , &

H ow To Get I t .

24

I t's recommended that you watch the video below to truly appreciate why Google are spearheading the "H TTPs Everywhere" movement. 

SSL

Ear l ier th is year at Inbound 2015, H ubSpot announced the fr ee suppor t for SSL across i ts ent i r e platform . That's r ight, free SSL for all.

25

H owever , m ore than just being a generous upgrade for i ts legions of users, i t was an im por tant step in conform ing to Google?s H TTPs Everywhere vision.

Google want al l websi tes that people access fr om their own search engine to be secure; as a resul t , any websi tes which are secure, wi l l en joy an im proved Google search rank ing.

I t?s a win-win si tuat ion for H ubSpot users. H istor ical ly, SSL on H ubSpot was both di ff icul t to instal l , and expensive to m aintain .

Now, i t?s essential ly a 2-cl ick instal l , AND the upgrade is for fr ee; i t doesn 't take m uch to m ake your  websi te m ore secure, tr ustwor thy, inbound and Google fr iendly.

26

W hat Is SSL?

SSL stands for ?Secure Sockets Layer?. I t?s a technology which ensures that your connect ion to a websi te is encrypted, m eaning that the pr ying eyes of m al icious th ir d par t ies cannot in ter cept any of your data.

27

From a visual standpoint, you m ay have not iced som ething sim i lar to the im age below - the ?H TTPs? protocol , preceded by a sm al l icon indicat ing that the websi te is protected by the H TTPs standard. A websi te bear ing these sym bols has an SSL cer t i f icate, and is considered secure.

The example below shows what a secure website's URL prefix looks like in Google's Chrome - notice the addition of the "s" and the green lock (or shield) icon.

28

W hy Your W ebsi te Needs I t .

As you can im agine, SSL is incredibly im por tant for websi tes which rely on the data of their users rem ain ing com pletely pr ivate, and safe - on l ine stores, dat ing websi tes, banks - you get the idea.

29

The developm ent of tr ust is an in tegral elem ent of inbound m arket ing, which is why i t m ade a lot of sense for H ubSpot to r em ove any hurdles in the way of let t ing their users have a m ore secure, m ore tr ustwor thy, m ore inbound websi te.

Beyond th is though, H ubSpot l ike to stay on the cutt ing edge - which is why they?ve m ade th is m ove to prom ote H TTPs now, r ather than later.

Cur rent ly H TTPs is a low signal pr ior i ty in Google?s search algor i thm s, but i t won?t always be that way - Google want every websi te that is visi ted fr om their search engine to be secure - to be tr ustwor thy.

This, m eans that every websi te wi l l , ideal ly, one day have an SSL cer t i f icate.

"In no uncer t ain t er ms - you need SSL. You need it so t hat your websit e acquir es t he HTTPs pr ef ix , so t hat Googl e?s sear ch al gor it hm knows t hat your websit e is secur e, meaning t hat Googl e wil l r ank it mor e f avour abl y, r esul t ing in a higher r anking, mor e exposur e, and pot ent ial l y mor e l eads."

Tim e, M oney & Stress.

34

H ost i n g

I?l l let you in on a l i t t le secret; pr ior to discover ing H ubSpot (and prom ptly thereafter becom ing H ubSpot par tners), we had been through hel l  as far as websi te developm ent and host ing had been concerned. 

35

From developing W ordPress them es and host ing them on a shared host ing envir onm ent, to hand-coded PH P solut ions which were uploaded through a com binat ion of Git , Jenk ins and dark sorcery, to then m igrat ing al l of our W ordPress si tes to Rackspace (which sadly didn?t offer any secur i ty layer on top of the host ing) to tr ansfer r ing al l of those si tes again to Pagely (which was a step in the r ight dir ect ion, but st i l l not ideal).

I t sounds like an absolute mess doesn?t it?

36

It was; and an expensive, str essful m ess at that. I t wasted our t im e in term s of having to spend days, or weeks back ing up si tes, tr ansfer r ing them , cleaning them i f they were in fected, cal l ing suppor t personnel fr om each host ing provider , who were som etim es unable to assist, and at other t im es sim ply in the wrong t im ezone to assist in a t im ely m anner.

W orse st i l l , for us i t m eant unhappy custom ers. There was m any a t im e when we weren?t able to provide them with a t im ely solut ion to a host ing related problem . But th is was al l before H ubSpot.

37

Since we becam e cer t i f ied par tners, and began developing and host ing websi tes on the H ubSpot CRM platform , i t?s been clear sai l ing.

W e?re able to spend less t im e wor r ying about whether or not our cl ient?s si te would get hacked, or i f i t would go off l ine for a r andom and unannounced m aintenance per iod.

W e haven?t once had to pay huge addi t ional sum s of m oney to get tech suppor t on the other side of the wor ld to pul l an al l -n ighter to save our

sk ins - Instead we?ve been able to focus on actual ly bui lding and growing our custom er?s websi tes; adding content to them in a bl issfu l ly un in ter rupted fashion.

Read on to see why host ing (and developing) your websi te with H ubSpot wi l l l i teral ly save you t im e, m oney & stress.

38

Al l For On e An d On e For Al l .

H ubSpot is a fu l ly form ed m arket ing platform . This m eans that you don?t have to download a m yr iad of plugins (som e of which m ay not work , others which m ay not be fr ee, and others st i l l which m ight be secur i ty holes).

39

Fur therm ore, work ing with the H ubSpot CM S is now m ore in tu i t ive than ever , wi th an in l ine edi tor in addi t ion to a f lexible design m anager - both of which are consistent ly the sam e. By th is I m ean that the in ter face and toolset you use to create tem plates, em ai ls and blog ar t icles does not change fr om si te to si te, custom er to custom er.

This m eans that speed of developm ent is increased, as you don?t have to r e-learn the tools every t im e you open a new por tal , i t also m eans stress is r educed.

Deadl ines are easier to h i t when H ubSpot websi te developm ent becom es m uscle m em ory.

In addi t ion to th is, H ubSpot h i ts the ground running as a responsive platform - so you, or your developer won?t have to star t m ak ing your websi te m obi le fr iendly fr om scratch - your content wi l l look good no m atter where you view i t .

40

W or l d -Cl ass Secu r i ty an d Suppor t .

H ubSpot 's secur i ty team has their eyes and ears peeled 24 hours a day. You?l l be pleased to know that your websi te is also protected by a W eb Appl icat ion Fir ewal l (W AF), not to m ention SSL i f you?ve purchased the W ebsite add-on. This secur i ty is NOT an addi t ional extra, i t?s H ubSpot 's defaul t stance.

41

As they say, ?Secur i ty shouldn?t be a luxury? - and thus far we haven?t had one secur i ty issue with any of our H ubSpot websi tes.

Addit ional ly, al l custom er data is 100% backed up to m ul t iple sources, wi th backups of backups on top of that, so i f the worst does occur , your content wi l l be covered, and can be restored easi ly.

"Highl y avail abl e.

42

Add to th is a hand-picked team of em ployees who?ve had 3rd par ty background checks, and who m onitor platform and appl icat ion behaviour al l day, every day, and you can see why we?ve stopped wor r ying about downtim e and secur i ty issues. 

43

Speed That You Can Coun t On .

H ubSpot also runs on a content del iver y network (CDN) (at no addi t ional charge to you). So no m atter where you or your custom ers are on the planet, they?l l be viewing your si te and in teract ing with your content at top speed. To get an i dea of H ubSpot?s

H ubSpot is a great platform on which to develop websi tes quick ly and easi ly, nam ely thanks to i ts str eam l ined Tem plate Bui lder.

You can get qui te far before you have to get your hands dir ty wi th any real coding.

H owever som etim es you just need to up the ante, you need that extra bi t of funct ional i ty, or that sexy new feature that wi l l get your websi te over the l ine and not iced. Going forward, I 'l l r efer to these ?features? as plugins.

At th is t im e, H ubSpot doesn?t have a plugin m arketplace l ike W ordPress does, so gett ing that k i l ler feature ?one-cl ick -instal led? isn?t yet possible; but as cer t i f ied H ubSpot COS Designers, we can m anual ly instal l these easi ly.

Read on to discover our m ost loved, and m ost cher ished plugins that we?ve used in our COS si tes.

M M en u

M M enu is one of those plugins that stops you in your tr acks, and for ces you to f ist pum p the air ; not once, not twice, but thr ice. I t?s a f lu id, dynam ic app-l ike m enu that is designed with a m obi le f i r st m ind-set that com pletely l iberates us as designers and developers, and you as custom ers in term s of what you can do with a m enu.

Ow l Car ousel

Sl iders on websi tes have been around for years now, and are m ost l ikely going to st ick around for years to com e - wi th the advent of r esponsive web design, i t 's been m ore im por tant than ever to m ake sure that every aspect of your websi te works per fect ly on m obi le - especial ly an aspect that scream s for attent ion l ike feature sl iders.

This is where Owl Carousel com es in - I t r esponds to touch and grab inputs on m obi le, is CSS3 hardware accelerated, fu l ly r esponsive, and packed with a ton of opt ions; al l of th is inside a feather l ight package, m eaning that i t won?t slow down your websi te?s per form ance with super fluous features and bloated code.

Pace

H ubspot doesn?t l ike to si t st i l l when i t com es to developing great new pieces of open source code, and Pace is no exception. Pace is an autom atic page loading bar , which gives you 14 types of loading an im ations to choose fr om , not to m ention the abi l i ty to custom ise the colour of the loading bar to sui t your websi te.

I t?s a subt le feature, but we l ike adding i t to give visi tor s that extra l i t t le bi t of feedback about what?s happening on the si te that they?re viewing.
