A theme is a set of styles and templates you can apply to your website pages and blogs in HubSpot. To make sure that your website looks consistent, style settings for all pages using the same theme are managed in your theme settings.
Before you get started
Theme settings control the main colors, fonts, and button styles for pages using your theme templates.
Please note: the styling options available in your theme setting depend on the theme field options included by the web developer who created your theme.
Some of the content for your website is managed in other parts of your account settings, including:
- Your company logo: update your company logo in your Account Defaults in the Branding tab.
- Your navigation menu: menu colors are set in theme settings, but your navigation menu content and links are managed in your Navigation settings. Learn how to create a navigation menu you can add to the global header or global footer content within the page editor.
- Your domain for publishing: the number of subdomains, brand domains, and top-level domains you can connect depends on your subscription. Learn more about about subscription limits for domains and connecting a domain to HubSpot.
