Handling a Website Revamp as a Non-Developer

Recently, my agency has decided to offer website maintenace/updating as part of our services along with website design for our clients. Our developer likes Wordpress as a CMS as opposed to Hubspot and I don't feel like bugging him to put things together on Hubspot CMS for clients that do opt to join Hubspot and use the CMS to revamp their website. I can totally reach out to him no issue and he'd do it, but he's never been a fan of Hubspot CMS.

I was reaching out to see if a marketer like myself, with a little experience in web design, mainly in Wordpress would be able to create a theme and functionality to a website that our clients would like without the heavy lifting of a developer as well knowledge of CSS, in Hubspot CMS

Please let me know, I don't want to tackle a project I might not be able to do by myself.

Thanks!

There are pre-built templates for websites in the Hubpsot marketplace you can use. Otherwise, if you want custom modules/designs, you'll need at least some development knowledge.

For your WP dev, the Hubspot templating language (HubL) shouldn't be too difficult/take too much time to learn as it's based on Jinja2, which is based on PHP which is the language WP uses for its templates.
