General advice
Before you start using the theme and creating pages: we advise you to create a child theme in the HubSpot design manager!
A child theme is a copy of an original parent theme. You can edit the child theme without altering the parent theme. You can create child themes from HubSpot themes, marketplace themes, as well as custom themes.

HubSpot drag and drop areas
How HubSpot Drag and Drop Areas are working
Drag and drop areas are composed of modules, which are blocks of website content. These modules may be arranged in horizontal rows or vertical columns. Rows and columns may be grouped into sections of elements.
By grouping these elements together, you can apply background styles to an entire area of your page. You can also drag and drop entire rows, columns, or sections to rearrange your page layout.
- Module: an individual block of website content. You can edit your page's text and images within an individual module.
- Column: a vertical stack of multiple modules or rows. You can move or rearrange columns on your page, and apply a background color or style to an entire column.
- Row (*): a horizontal row of modules or columns. You can move or rearrange rows on your page, and apply a background color or style to an entire row.
- Section: a group of multiple rows or columns. You can move an entire section, or apply a background color or style to an entire section.
