When it comes to building and maintaining websites on HubSpot CMS, many companies face the decision of whether to hire their own developers or partner with an external team. Both options come with advantages and challenges. In this post, we’ll explore the pros and cons of each approach and explain why hiring 7bits – a dedicated team of HubSpot CMS experts – is often the better choice.
Hiring Your Own HubSpot Developer: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Full control: You manage the developer directly, define their tasks, and integrate them into your internal processes.
- Deep internal knowledge: In-house developers can become familiar with your brand, goals, and stakeholders over time.
- Long-term capacity: If you have ongoing technical needs, an in-house team can be a long-term investment.
Cons:
- Hard to find HubSpot expertise: Finding and hiring the right HubSpot Developer takes time and effort, especially if you're looking for someone with deep CMS knowledge.
- Training required: Most general web developers are not immediately ready to work on HubSpot CMS. You’ll need to invest in onboarding and training.
- High cost: Salaries, benefits, and overhead can add up. Hiring developers internally is expensive and resource-intensive.
- Limited flexibility: Your team may lack the bandwidth or skill set to scale quickly when needs change.
Hiring an External HubSpot CMS Team: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Instant expertise: When you hire a HubSpot expert team like 7bits, you get developers who already know the platform inside and out.
- Faster results: No training needed. We jump straight into action and start delivering from day one.
- Scalability: Easily scale work up or down depending on your needs without long-term commitment.
- Cost-effective: Pay only for the time and expertise you need, without long-term overhead.
Cons:
- Less internal visibility: External teams aren’t sitting in your office (though with tools like Slack and Zoom, they might as well be).
- Onboarding to your brand: While we’re experts on HubSpot CMS, we still need to understand your unique brand and tone – but this usually takes just a few days.
