HubSpot Developer & Consultant in Michigan — Work Directly With Jake Lett
(586) 258-8627
I'm Jake Lett, a certified HubSpot CMS developer and consultant in Michigan. I build the parts of HubSpot most marketers and agencies can't: custom themes and modules, HubDB-driven pages, CMS migrations, and marketing automation.
When you hire me, I write the code and configure the account myself. No account managers, no offshore dev team, no telephone game between you and the person doing the work.

HubSpot is easy to start and hard to master. Agencies often assign a junior developer to your account and route everything through a project manager, which adds cost and slows every change. As an independent consultant, I'm the developer, the strategist, and your point of contact — so a module tweak takes a message, not a change request.
My HubSpot background is deeper than most agencies can staff:
- HubSpot CMS Developer certified, plus Inbound Marketing, Marketing Software, and Sales Software certifications
- Author of Building a Business Website with HubSpot CMS, a guide to using HubSpot as an alternative to WordPress and Webflow
- Built the Industrial Pro theme, selected for the HubSpot asset marketplace to help manufacturers launch sites fast
- Created Jake Addons, a library of HubSpot CMS modules businesses use to improve sites without hiring a developer
- Migrated the DBCI website into HubSpot with custom business units and modules, and ran HubSpot for global marketing teams at Altair Engineering and Janus International
What I build in HubSpot
- Custom HubSpot CMS themes and templates built to your brand
- Custom modules and HubDB-powered pages (product catalogs, location maps, resource libraries)
- Website and blog migrations onto the HubSpot CMS
- Marketing automation, workflows, forms, and lead routing
- CRM setup, custom properties, and sales pipeline configuration
- HTML email templates and landing pages that convert

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a HubSpot developer do?
A HubSpot developer builds and customizes what you can't do in the drag-and-drop editor: custom CMS themes and modules, HubDB-driven pages, serverless functions, marketing automation, and CRM setup. I handle the technical HubSpot work so your marketers can focus on content and campaigns.
Should I hire a HubSpot freelancer or a HubSpot agency?
Hire a freelance HubSpot consultant if you want the certified developer doing the actual work and one point of contact. Hire an agency if you need a large multi-role team and your budget covers the overhead. With a solo consultant, more of your budget goes into building instead of account management.
How much does HubSpot CMS development cost?
A HubSpot QuickStart implementation starts at $3,000. A full CMS migration and design refresh starts at $5,000. Ongoing advisory and training is $1,000 per month. Custom module and template work is quoted per project after a short scoping call.
Are you a certified HubSpot developer?
Yes. I hold the HubSpot CMS Developer certification along with Inbound Marketing, Marketing Software, and Sales Software certifications from HubSpot Academy. I also wrote the book Building a Business Website with HubSpot CMS and have themes in the HubSpot marketplace.
