How to Use Elementor with HubSpot in WordPress

Learning how Elementor works alongside HubSpot helps you design, launch, and optimize a professional WordPress website without touching code. This guide walks through the essentials taken from the Elementor tutorial on the HubSpot blog and adapts them for a smooth, step-by-step workflow.

Elementor is a visual, drag-and-drop page builder for WordPress. Combined with HubSpot tools for marketing, forms, and CRM, it becomes a powerful system for creating pages that look great and perform well.

Getting Started: Elementor and HubSpot Setup

Before you build pages, make sure your WordPress site is ready and can connect to HubSpot for marketing and analytics.

1. Install WordPress and Choose Hosting

To follow the Elementor process described on the HubSpot blog, you need a working WordPress install:

  • Purchase a domain name from a registrar.
  • Choose a reliable hosting provider.
  • Use the host’s one-click WordPress installer or manual setup.

Once WordPress is running, log in to your admin dashboard at /wp-admin/.

2. Install the Elementor Plugin

Elementor is available in free and Pro versions. The free version is enough to start building pages as explained in the HubSpot-based walkthrough.

  1. In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for Elementor Website Builder.
  3. Click Install Now, then Activate.

After activation, Elementor will add its own menu in the WordPress sidebar, where you can access settings and templates.

3. Connect WordPress with HubSpot Tools

To capture leads and track performance, pair your Elementor site with HubSpot features.

  1. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for HubSpot (the official plugin by HubSpot, Inc.).
  3. Install and activate the plugin.
  4. Sign in or create a free HubSpot account and connect it to your site.

This connection brings forms, live chat, CRM contact tracking, and analytics into your Elementor-powered WordPress site.

How to Create a Page with Elementor and HubSpot

The HubSpot article on Elementor explains how to design your first page using the visual builder. Follow these core steps to create a basic layout.

4. Add a New WordPress Page

  1. From the dashboard, navigate to Pages > Add New.
  2. Give your page a clear title, such as “Home” or “Services”.
  3. Click the Edit with Elementor button to open the page builder interface.

Now you are in the Elementor editor with a live preview of your page.

5. Understand the Elementor Interface

The HubSpot tutorial highlights these main areas of the Elementor screen:

  • Widget panel on the left: elements like headings, text, images, buttons.
  • Preview canvas in the center: shows the page as you edit.
  • Bottom toolbar: includes settings, responsive view, and the Publish/Update button.

You drag widgets from the left panel onto the canvas to build your layout.

6. Use Sections, Columns, and Widgets

Elementor pages have three building blocks, which the HubSpot guide explains clearly:

  • Sections: horizontal rows that span the width of the page.
  • Columns: vertical divisions within a section.
  • Widgets: actual content elements placed inside columns.

To build your first section:

  1. Click the + icon in the canvas.
  2. Select a structure (for example, one column or two columns).
  3. Drag a Heading widget into the column.
  4. Use the left panel to change the text, alignment, and typography.

Repeat this approach by adding Image, Text Editor, and Button widgets, as the HubSpot-based process recommends.

Styling Pages in Elementor with HubSpot Best Practices

The HubSpot blog emphasizes designing pages that are clean, readable, and conversion-focused. Elementor helps you control style without coding.

7. Customize Style and Layout

For any widget, you have three tabs: Content, Style, and Advanced.

  • Content: change the text, icons, and basic settings.
  • Style: edit colors, typography, spacing, and backgrounds.
  • Advanced: adjust margins, padding, motion effects, and responsive settings.

Apply a consistent color palette that matches your brand. Use sufficient white space and clear headings for better usability, aligned with HubSpot UX guidance.

8. Use Templates for Faster Build

The HubSpot tutorial recommends templates to speed up page creation:

  1. In the Elementor canvas, click the folder icon.
  2. Browse the Pages and Blocks libraries.
  3. Insert a template that matches your goal, such as a landing page or about page.
  4. Customize text, images, and buttons to fit your brand and HubSpot campaigns.

Templates ensure your pages follow strong structure and conversion patterns from the start.

Adding Forms and Conversions with HubSpot

To turn visitors into leads, you can integrate forms from HubSpot and design them to match your Elementor layout.

9. Add a HubSpot Form to an Elementor Page

Once the official plugin is installed, you can embed forms generated in HubSpot.

  1. Create a form in your HubSpot account with the fields you need.
  2. In WordPress, open your page with Edit with Elementor.
  3. Drag the Shortcode or dedicated HubSpot widget (if available) into a section.
  4. Paste the HubSpot form shortcode or select the form from the widget dropdown.

This connects your Elementor page to the HubSpot CRM, so every submission populates your contact database automatically.

10. Optimize Calls-to-Action

For every form and button you add, follow best practices commonly shared on the HubSpot blog:

  • Use action-focused button text, like “Get the Guide” or “Book a Demo”.
  • Place forms above the fold when the goal is lead generation.
  • Limit the number of fields to reduce friction.
  • Align colors with your branding, but keep strong contrast for visibility.

These Elementor setups make it easier to run campaigns directly from HubSpot while keeping your design cohesive.

Publishing and Managing Elementor Pages with HubSpot Data

After building your layout and adding HubSpot forms, you are ready to publish and review performance.

11. Preview, Test, and Publish

  1. In Elementor, click the eye icon to preview the page.
  2. Check the page on desktop, tablet, and mobile using the responsive mode tool.
  3. Adjust font sizes, spacing, and images for each device.
  4. When satisfied, click Publish or Update.

Make a test form submission to confirm HubSpot receives and tracks the lead correctly.

12. Use HubSpot Analytics to Improve Pages

Once traffic reaches your pages, review performance inside HubSpot:

  • Track views, submissions, and conversion rates.
  • Analyze which Elementor sections or templates perform best.
  • Use insights to tweak headlines, images, and CTAs.

This data-driven loop allows constant improvement of your Elementor designs based on HubSpot reporting.
