First steps

1. Purchase and installation

The theme will automatically install into the current portal, so please double-check your Hub ID in the top-right corner before purchasing:

If there are problems with the installation, we recommend reaching out to HubSpot directly, as we don't have any control over this process.

2. Create a child theme first

Purchased themes from the HubSpot Marketplace are not editable (read-only), so you can benefit from future updates and improvements. But you may want to modify or extend your theme in the future, so we highly recommend creating a child theme first. A child theme is a copy of the original parent theme that you can edit without altering the parent theme, and you can still benefit from future updates. You can find out more about child themes here.

This is how you can create a child theme (quick video below):

1. Open your Design Tools and go to the theme folder: @marketplace › Neambo › Act3
2. Right-click Act3 folder, then Create child theme
3. Add a recognizable name to your new theme (e.g., Act3-child)
4. We recommend keeping it in the root folder
5. No need to change anything under the Advanced options
6. Go to your new child theme and delete the child.css, child.js, and the templates folder that HubSpot automatically creates for you because this may only cause trouble with future updates (e.g., updates to the base HTML template won't apply)
7. Make sure to use this child theme for your website and not the parent theme — that's why the name is important. Also, renaming the folder later may cause problems.

Here is a quick video of all this process, which is rather simple:

3. Customization

Now that you have your theme installed, and your child theme ready, you can customize it by going to Settings › Website › Themes and selecting your child theme. To learn more about customizing your Act3, please follow our Theme settings guide.
