A New Content Platform For A New Dev & Design Site

Written by Elizabeth Dunn (She/Her) | Dec 14, 2012

Welcome to the new HubSpot Development & Design site!

We’ve made a bunch of changes around the place. Take a look around. For instance, there’s now a short video on the home page that tells you a little bit about what it’s like to work on the product team at HubSpot. There’s also a pretty sweet People Page that lets you get to know some of the individuals that make up the team here at HubSpot Dev & Design.

But what we’re most excited about is the fact that we’ve built this whole new site on the brand new HubSpot Content platform. In fact, it’s the very first site ever to be built on this new system for managing your content online, and we’re psyched to take it out for a ride and see what this baby can do. We're calling our new platform a Content Optimization System (COS) because it's much more than a CMS.

And let’s face it, as a bunch of developers and designers, we’re usually too focused on building stuff to ever really be able to spend much time using what we’ve built. It’s always just as important to move on to the next thing, you know? Always something else needing to be built. You know the drill.

But this new HubSpot COS is something really special. It’s a whole new way of managing your content online. This blog, for instance, is running on the new COS, just like the rest of the site. And just like with any great blogging platform, the HubSpot COS makes it easy for you to create and manage your posts, comments, modules, authors, templates, and on and on.

Naturally, we’ll be improving and iterating on our new COS in the days and weeks to come. But we’d love to hear what you think. Got feedback? Lay it on us.
