[HubSpot] Summary of CMS Updates from Spring Spotlight 2025
[HubSpot] Summary of CMS Updates Announced at Spring Spotlight 2025🌸📘
2025-04-12 · Reina

I've put together a summary of the noteworthy CMS updates announced at HubSpot Spring Spotlight 2025🌸✨
It feels like there are many exciting advancements for both developers and marketers, such as the WordPress integration beta and the new "Elevate" theme💡
In this article, I'll gently introduce the topics that are particularly useful for practical work🧁📘
📍This is a quick summary based on the Spotlight page and the HubSpot Developers blog.
Beta Announcement: Hosting HubSpot Pages in WordPress Subfolders!🌍🔗
Until now, displaying CMS pages created in HubSpot under a subdirectory on a WordPress site required setting up a reverse proxy on the server side.
Now, a beta has been announced that allows integration through GUI settings alone within the WordPress plugin!
Many people probably felt, "Since our existing corporate site is already running on WordPress, I only want to manage the /blog subdirectory on HubSpot..." 💭 Setting up a reverse proxy yourself is quite a high hurdle, so I feel like this is a significantly major update 🤔
(Personally, I'm very interested, so I want to try it out at some point...)
Appearance of the New Theme "Elevate"🎨✨
"Elevate" has arrived as a new default theme for the CMS!
From looking at the demo site, it seems to have a more modern look than the previous default theme, "Growth" (though it doesn't seem like Growth is being retired this time) 👀
CMS React Development Tools are also Evolving🛠️🚀
Local development using CMS React is becoming even more convenient and user-friendly🌟
<Features: Quoted & Translated from the Blog>
🧑💻 Dedicated UI for local development added (Easy to read and intuitive!)
👀 Modules created locally can now be displayed in the HubSpot Design Previewer
📄 Easily check the list of pages where React modules are used
🔗 Quick link feature to directly open projects and pages within your HubSpot account
📋 Complete with copy-paste shortcuts to improve work efficiency
📚 Links to official documentation are clearly placed
The first item, the local development server, looks quite easy to use in the official video, which is a point of interest for me.
Small Updates That Impact Practical Work 💡
Other updates include:
✅ New forms now support embedding on HubSpot pages
🌐 With the Domain Connect feature, you can log in to over 40 DNS providers from within HubSpot and connect in just a few clicks! (Also supports email sending domains)
📨 Drag-and-drop areas can now be added to custom HTML email templates!
Allowing marketers to edit easily without coding🌿
These kinds of improvements are "subtle but divine updates" that immediately impact daily operations🌷

✨ Summary
The WordPress integration beta is an innovative approach that is friendly to marketers too🌐✨
With the evolution of New Forms, forms have become something to "easily add and utilize"🧾💡
With the evolution of the Elevate theme & CMS React, development efficiency and design quality have significantly improved🎨🚀 and more...
These updates make me feel that we are entering an era where we no longer say "CMS = difficult"!
