Modules

What is a module?

In the most simple terms, a module is a chunk of reusable code. Modules can come in all different shapes and sizes with widely varying functionality. What really makes modules cool is the flexibility they offer to a website. With a well built module, things like images, background colors, text, layout, and so much more can be quickly and easily changed by a content editor with no need for any knowledge of any HTML or CSS. 

This flexibility of modules can also comes with a certain rigidity that only allows so much to be changed. The benefit of this is it ensures that any content placed on the site is going to match up with the other site styles and maintain consistency.  A good set of modules at your disposal will make the building and expansion processes of your website much more enjoyable for everyone. 

Usually a module will be dropped into a page by using HubSpot's drag and drop editor. Modules can also be added directly to a template, and if they are, the module will automatically be on the webpage when creating a new webpage.
