One Certified HubSpot Developer. Zero Agency Layers.

  • Direct access: You message Jake Lett, and Jake Lett writes the code. No account managers translating tickets.
  • Hybrid skill set: HubL development, theme and module builds, plus the marketing side: technical SEO, Google Ads, and lead gen systems. One person, no handoffs.
  • Independent by design: Not a HubSpot Solutions Partner, on purpose. No commission incentive to upsell you software tiers you don’t need.
  • Flexible retainers: Flat monthly fee, pause or cancel anytime. Plans run $1,000 to $3,000/month, well under typical agency minimums.

Ongoing HubSpot Development and Technical Support

Most marketing managers don’t need a full-time developer. They need a few hours of expert work, reliably, every month. Here’s what the retainer covers:

  • Custom theme and module development: HubL templates, drag-and-drop modules, and theme fixes built to HubSpot’s current standards, not marketplace duct tape.
  • Website changes and troubleshooting: The backlog of “small” requests that never get done: layout fixes, new page sections, broken CSS, mobile issues.
  • Portal cleanup: Untangling the mismatched templates and abandoned modules left behind by previous agencies and freelancers.
  • Technical SEO: Site speed, structured data, and the ranking issues a marketing-only agency can’t diagnose.
  • Marketing Hub and Service Hub support: Email templates, workflows, custom properties, quote templates, knowledge base styling, and reporting.
  • Design included: Graphics and page design handled in the same retainer, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a developer.

HubSpot Support Plans and Pricing

Three flat-fee tiers, no contracts, pause or cancel anytime:

Plan Monthly Fee Built For
Advisory & Training $1,000/mo Teams with in-house hands who need expert guidance, QA review, and fast answers.
Website Support $2,000/mo Teams who need unlimited HubSpot CMS dev requests, design support, and technical SEO.
Growth Partner $3,000/mo Teams who need leads: everything above plus workflows, Google Ads management, and a lead gen system buildout.

Why Hire a Freelance HubSpot Developer Instead of an Agency?

The math and the workflow both favor it for most B2B teams.

The math: A full-time HubSpot developer costs $80,000+ per year before benefits, and most marketing teams can’t fill that person’s calendar. An elite HubSpot agency retainer runs $60,000+ per year, and much of it funds their overhead. A freelance HubSpot developer on retainer costs $12,000 to $36,000 per year and every dollar buys senior execution.

The workflow: At an agency, your request passes through an account manager, a project manager, and a ticket queue before it reaches whoever codes it. Here, the request goes to the person who does the work. That’s the difference between a landing page shipping in days versus weeks.

The tradeoff is honest too: one person doesn’t scale to enterprise workloads. If you need a 40-hour-a-week embedded team or complex data engineering, an agency or in-house hire is the right call, and I’ll tell you so.

A HubSpot Developer for B2B and Industrial Teams

Bootstrap Creative has worked in the HubSpot ecosystem since 2018, with clients in manufacturing, industrial services, laboratory services, and B2B software. That matters because B2B portals have B2B problems: RFQ and quote workflows, long sales cycles that need proper lifecycle stages, gated technical content, and websites that engineers actually read. A developer who also runs Google Ads for industrial companies and SEO builds your site with those outcomes in mind, not just clean code.

Based in Metro Detroit, Michigan, working with B2B teams across the US. Michigan companies searching for a local HubSpot developer or agency alternative get the added benefit of same-timezone availability and the occasional in-person meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a HubSpot developer?

Freelance HubSpot developers charge $75 to $150 per hour, and a full-time hire runs $80,000+ per year plus benefits. Retainer plans at Bootstrap Creative are flat-fee: $1,000/month for advisory, $2,000/month for unlimited CMS development requests, and $3,000/month for development plus marketing execution. No hourly surprises, and you can pause or cancel anytime.

Are you a Michigan HubSpot developer?

Yes. Bootstrap Creative is based in Clinton Township in Metro Detroit, Michigan. Most work is done remotely for clients across the US, but Michigan B2B companies looking for a local alternative to a HubSpot agency get same-timezone response times and in-person availability when a project calls for it.

Can one developer really handle both development and marketing for under $5k a month?

Yes, and that combination is the entire point. Development-only freelancers build what you spec; agencies split your budget across separate dev and marketing teams. A hybrid consultant handles HubL development, theme builds, technical SEO, and Google Ads management in one retainer. The top-tier Growth Partner plan is $3,000/month, well under the $5k/month agency threshold.

Where is the best place to hire a HubSpot CMS developer?

Your options are the HubSpot Solutions Directory, freelance marketplaces, or independent consultants. Directory agencies carry account-manager overhead and partner-commission incentives. Marketplace freelancers are hit-or-miss on reliability and rarely stick around for ongoing support. An independent certified developer on a monthly retainer gives you direct senior access with continuity, which is the model Bootstrap Creative runs.

Do you support legacy HubSpot COS websites?

Yes. Plenty of sites still run on the original COS architecture that predates CMS Hub and Content Hub. Whether your site was built in 2015 or last month, it can be supported, modernized incrementally, or rebuilt on a current theme when the time is right.

Why aren't you a HubSpot Solutions Partner?

By choice. Partner agencies earn commissions and defend tier status, which quietly shapes their advice toward selling more HubSpot. As an independent certified developer, the only incentive here is making your current subscription work harder. Sometimes the right answer is "you don't need that upgrade," and independence makes that answer possible.
