Intro
Below you'll find the basics of how to get started with the Adamant HubSpot theme. Once you click the Install button in the HubSpot marketplace, you will arrive at a confirmation screen, and after a few minutes (it can take up to 5 minutes for the theme installation to be completed), you should be able to find your new theme among other themes in several places inside HubSpot:
- Settings > Account Setup > Marketplace Downloads
- Settings > Tools > Website > Themes
- Marketing > Files and Templates > Design Tools
Reinstall Theme
In rare cases, due to a common bug on the HubSpot marketplace, your theme may not arrive successfully to your account.
If this happens to you, no worries, you just need to go to Settings > Account Setup > Marketplace Downloads, and then select Adamant HubSpot theme, click Actions, and then Uninstall.
It will take a few minutes, and after that, you need to click Actions again, and then Reinstall.
This will fix any issues that could have occurred. While this is a very unusual issue, in case it happens to you, the solution is simple and easy.
Create Child Theme
Once your new HubSpot theme is ready, consider an option to create a child theme before making any changes to the theme or building pages with it.
While this is not a required step,
it is highly suggested.
This is so you always have a clean backup in case you end up modifying any parts of the theme and want to go back to the original version. Also, it’s a great option in case you create another HubSpot website in the future, so you have a clean version of Adamant HubSpot theme ready for it.
In order to do it, go through the steps below:
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Design Tools.
- In the finder, click the @marketplace folder.
- Right-click a theme folder, then select Create child theme.
- In the dialog box, enter a name for the child theme.
- To change where the child theme will be saved, click Change in the File location section. Click a folder, then click Select.
- To customize the names of the theme's CSS and JS files, click Advanced options, then enter new file names in the CSS and JS fields.
- To finish the process, click Create child theme.
From this point on, please ensure that if you make changes to the theme, always do them on the cloned version.
Create New Page
Once the Adamant HubSpot theme is in your HubSpot account, it’s ready to be applied to your website pages. To create a new page with the Adamant HubSpot theme, follow the instructions below:

Intro: FAQ
Will my website get affected if I purchase/install the Adamant theme?
No. Purchasing the Adamant HubSpot theme will only install the theme files on your HubSpot account; however, it won’t affect in any way your current website.
Once you purchase it, you will be able to start creating page by page using your new theme, and you will be able to push it live whenever you are ready, so there is nothing to worry about.
Can I use Adamant HubSpot Theme for more than one site?
The Adamant license lets you use the Adamant HubSpot Theme on as many sites as you want within the same company or project.
If your company has five websites, you can use the Adamant theme on all of them, as it’s already included in your license.
However, if you are creating websites for other companies (if you are an agency or a freelancer), you should ask your client to install the theme so they can have it licensed to receive updates.
Customization
There are various options for how the Adamant theme can be customized, starting with global settings and going to specific modules.
Global settings are located in the Design section of the Content Editor. Here's how to find it:
- Open any of your pages based on the Adamant HubSpot theme.
- Once inside Content Editor, go to the Design tab in the left pane.
- Click Edit Theme Settings, and you will be redirected to the Theme settings screen. Here, you will have access to all global design customization settings of the Adamant HubSpot theme.

Customization: FAQ
How to set up custom fonts?
Adamant theme allows choosing fonts among a massive gallery of Google Fonts. Custom fonts can be added manually by editing the code of the theme. This comes as part of our premium customization services.
If you're familiar with HubSpot development, you may follow the instructions from HubSpot itself. It's recommended to host font files in the files tool, then reference them in the stylesheet through CSS.
Please note: custom fonts are only available in accounts with access to the design manager and need to be applied with CSS. Adding a custom font will not add the font to styling dropdown menus in the content editor.
To use a font in content, upload the font's files to the files tool. HubSpot recommends uploading a minimum of the .woff, .ttf, & .eot versions to ensure your font loads on all browsers. You can use the Expert mode on Font Squirrel's converter tool to generate additional file formats.
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Files.
- Click Upload files.
- On your computer's hard drive, select the font files, then click Open.
- Click the name of an uploaded font file.
- In the right panel, click Copy URL to copy the URL where the file is hosted. You will need the URL for the font in each file format.
Once you've added a custom font to the files tool, you can reference it in a stylesheet. Each font style (italics, bold, etc.) will require a separate @font-face rule.
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Design Tools.
- In the finder, open the stylesheet used for your content.
- For each font style, at the top of the stylesheet, paste the following code:
@font-face { font-family: 'Your Font Name'; src: url('your_font_file.eot?') format('eot'), url('your_font_file.woff') format('woff'), url('your_font_file.ttf') format('truetype');}
ReplaceYour Font Name
with the name of the font.
Replaceyour_font_file.xxx?
with the URL from the files tool. Repeat for each file format. - Create CSS rules with the font-family property to apply the custom font.
- In the top right, click Update or Publish to take your changes live.
