How do you extend the CoS functionality similar to WordPress plugins?

[lloydsilver]

We've been developing sites on WordPress for years and have become accustomed to a wide range of both free and paid plugins to extend functionality. How do developers do the same with the HubSpot Cos?

Is there a marketplace anywhere where people sell the equivalent of plugins (obviously installed differently)? Or do we just have to hire programmers any time we want something beyond what the CoS offers?

Hi @lloydsilver,

At this time HubSpot does not offer anything equivalent to Wordpress plugins. Extended functionalities beyond what the COS offers can be custom coded in HubL/Custom HTML modules, but as you mentioned this would require the expertise of a developer.

We do have a HubSpot Marketplace but here you can only purchase entire templates and not just extended features/modules. Our HubSpot Partners can absolutely help you develop custom solutions on the COS, though. 

Do you have any examples of features/functionality that you would like to see in the HubSpot COS that currently available as Wordpress plugins?
