Project Details

Project Name:

Confidential Retail Platform – Dealer Locator System

Tech Use:

HubSpot CMS, HubDB, Mapbox API, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Figma (design workflow)

Overview

For this confidential engagement, The Webplant developed an advanced dealer-locator platform designed to help customers easily discover authorized retail locations through an interactive map interface.

The goal was to create a user-friendly experience where visitors could explore nearby dealers, view store details, and navigate between locations seamlessly. At the same time, the system needed to allow the internal team to manage dealer data centrally without requiring code changes.

The final solution combines HubSpot CMS, HubDB, Mapbox, and dynamic JavaScript logic, delivering a scalable and interactive location discovery platform.

Problem Statement

  • Managing Dealer Locations Dynamically
    The client needed a way to display multiple dealer locations without requiring manual code updates every time a new dealer was added.
  • Synchronizing Map & Sidebar Interactions
    Markers on the map needed to stay synchronized with a sidebar list of dealer locations, ensuring users could easily navigate between both views.
  • Responsive Layout Across Devices
    The map interface and dealer listing had to remain intuitive and usable across both desktop and mobile devices.
  • Maintaining Brand Consistency
    The map styling, markers, and UI components needed to align closely with the brand’s visual design system.

Implementation and Capabilities

Figma-to-HubSpot Implementation

The UI was first designed in Figma and then implemented within HubSpot CMS, ensuring a pixel-accurate translation of the design system into functional web components.

This approach ensured the final experience maintained strong visual consistency while remaining fully editable within the CMS.

Dynamic Dealer Data with HubDB

Dealer location data was stored in HubDB, enabling centralized management of store information such as:

  • Dealer name
  • Address
  • Coordinates
  • Additional location details

JavaScript dynamically fetches this data and renders map markers automatically, ensuring that new dealers can be added without modifying the codebase.

Interactive Multi-Marker Map

Using the Mapbox API, we implemented a fully interactive map capable of displaying multiple dealer locations.

Key capabilities include:

  • Dynamic marker placement based on HubDB data
  • Custom map styling aligned with brand identity
  • Smooth zoom and navigation interactions
  • Marker clicks triggering dealer details in the sidebar

Synchronized Sidebar Navigation

A dynamic sidebar displays a scrollable list of dealer locations, highlighting the selected dealer when a marker is clicked.

This synchronized behavior improves usability by allowing visitors to:

  • Browse locations through the list
  • Select dealers directly from the map
  • View store information instantly

Enhanced User Controls

Additional interface controls were implemented to improve navigation, including a Return to Map feature that resets the map view and hides the sidebar to maintain a clean user interface.

Impact

  • Delivered an interactive dealer locator that simplifies the process of finding retail locations.
  • Enabled centralized management of dealer data through HubDB without requiring developer updates.
  • Improved user experience through synchronized map and sidebar interactions.
  • Maintained brand consistency through custom map styling and UI components.
  • Created a scalable system that supports future expansion of dealer locations.

Subtle Agency Signal

Interactive HubSpot implementations that combine structured data systems with custom UI components—helping agencies deliver dynamic user experiences without increasing development complexity.
