Scaffold was built to make HubSpot website development faster, cleaner, and more flexible. Whether you're a marketer creating landing pages, a designer building layouts, or a developer customizing a theme, a few simple habits can dramatically improve your workflow.

If you're new to Scaffold, these five tips will help you launch pages faster and keep your website consistent from the start.

1. Set Your Brand Styles First

Before building your first page, take a few minutes to configure your brand settings.

This includes:

• Your company logo
• Brand colors
• Typography
• Favicon

Scaffold is designed around global design settings, which means once these are configured, your pages will automatically follow your brand styling.

Instead of manually updating colors and fonts on every module, you can set them once and let the theme handle the rest.

This small step saves a surprising amount of time as your site grows.

2. Start with a Page Template

One of the fastest ways to build a page is to start with one of Scaffold’s pre-built templates.

Templates provide a complete layout structure right away, so instead of starting with a blank canvas, you can simply replace the content with your own.

Typical templates include layouts for:

• Homepages
• About pages
• Contact pages
• Pricing pages
• Landing pages

Once the template is loaded, you can update text, swap images, and adjust sections to match your content.

For many teams, this approach allows them to create a polished page in just a few minutes.

3. Build Pages Using Modular Sections

Scaffold uses a modular section system, which allows you to assemble pages using flexible building blocks.

Each section is designed to work seamlessly with the others, so you can mix and match layouts to build custom pages without writing code.

For example, a typical page might include:

• A hero section
• A features section
• Customer testimonials
• A call-to-action banner

Because these sections are modular, you can easily rearrange them or add new sections as your page evolves.

This approach makes page building feel more like assembling components rather than designing everything from scratch.

4. Use Global Theme Settings for Consistency

Another major time saver is Scaffold’s global theme settings.

Instead of styling each module individually, you can manage key design elements in one place.

Global settings allow you to control things like:

• Button styles
• Heading sizes
• Layout spacing
• Color schemes

Updating these settings automatically updates the entire site, ensuring every page stays visually consistent.

For teams managing multiple pages, this can significantly reduce the time spent maintaining design consistency.

5. Duplicate and Reuse Sections to Save Time

When building multiple pages, you don’t need to recreate layouts from scratch.

HubSpot allows you to duplicate sections and modules, which makes it easy to reuse content patterns across your site.

For example, if you’ve created a great testimonial layout or pricing section, you can duplicate it and reuse it on other pages.

This keeps your site consistent while dramatically speeding up page creation.
