[See the website service →](https://www.lpd-themes.com/hubspot-website?hsLang=en) Questions ## Questions about the free version Why can’t I publish a site on the free version? GrowBig Free has every template and module, so you can build and preview your pages before you buy. It isn’t meant for a live site: it shows “Build with GrowBig Free” and some features, like links, stop working once published. Do I lose my work when I upgrade? Not on Content Hub Professional or Enterprise, if you built your pages on a child theme: they can be switched to the paid theme in code, and I can do it for you. On Starter you’d rebuild, so start on paid there. Is the free version slower? No. Free and paid have the same speed. If your pages feel slow, the tutorial’s speed chapter shows what to check. Can I use one paid licence on several websites? Yes, on unlimited projects inside the HubSpot account where you bought it. Each other HubSpot account needs its own licence. Next step ## Start with GrowBig Try it free, or start on paid if you’re already sure. Questions? I reply within 24 hours on workdays, often sooner.
