WordPress Multisite
Manage multiple WordPress sites from one dashboard. Perfect for organisations, franchises, or anyone running multiple sites. Whether you're managing 10 sites or 100, Multisite networks scale efficiently. One installation, centralised management, easier updates.
What is WordPress Multisite?
WordPress Multisite lets you run multiple WordPress sites from a single installation. Instead of managing separate WordPress installations for each site, you have one network where you can create and manage as many sites as you need.
Each site in the network can have its own domain or subdomain, its own theme, its own plugins (with some restrictions), and its own content. But you manage everything from one central dashboard. Updates, security, backups - all handled once for the entire network.
It's perfect if you're running multiple sites for different brands, locations, departments, or clients. You get the flexibility of separate sites with the convenience of centralised management.
Who Needs Multisite?
WordPress Multisite is ideal for large-scale networks. Whether you're managing 10 sites or 100+, Multisite provides the infrastructure and management tools you need. The larger your network, the more value you get from centralised management.
Organisations & Franchises
Run separate sites for different locations, departments, or brands while managing everything centrally. Perfect for franchises, multi-location businesses, or organisations with multiple divisions.
Agencies & Developers
Manage multiple client sites from one installation. Easier updates, simpler backups, and better control over all your client sites. Ideal for agencies managing multiple WordPress sites.
Multi-Language Sites
Create separate sites for different languages or regions. Each site can have its own domain or subdomain, making it easy to manage multilingual or multi-regional content.
Educational Institutions
Schools, universities, and training organisations can create separate sites for different courses, departments, or campuses while maintaining centralised control and branding.
What We Do
Multisite Setup & Configuration
We'll set up your WordPress Multisite network from scratch. That includes configuring the network, setting up domains or subdomains, configuring server settings, and making sure everything works properly. We handle the technical setup so you don't have to.
Custom Network Themes
We design and build custom themes for your network. You can have a shared theme across all sites, or custom themes for specific sites. We'll build whatever makes sense for your setup, ensuring consistency where you need it and flexibility where you don't.
Network-Wide Plugins
Some plugins need to work across the entire network. We build custom network plugins that handle shared functionality, user management, content sharing, or whatever else you need across your sites.
User & Permission Management
Multisite networks need careful user management. We'll set up roles and permissions so the right people can access the right sites. Network admins, site admins, editors - we'll configure it all so it works smoothly.
Performance Optimization
Multisite networks can be resource-intensive. We optimize everything - database queries, caching, server configuration - to make sure your network runs fast even with multiple sites. Performance matters, especially when you're running many sites.
Security & Updates
Security is critical with Multisite - one compromised site can affect the whole network. We implement security best practices, set up proper isolation between sites, and handle updates across the network. One update covers all sites, which makes maintenance much easier.
Why Choose Multisite?
Here's what you get with a WordPress Multisite network:
- Centralised management - update WordPress, themes, and plugins once for all sites
- Easier backups - one backup covers your entire network
- Shared resources - themes and plugins can be shared across sites
- User management - users can access multiple sites with one login
- Cost effective - one hosting setup, one installation to maintain
- Flexibility - each site can still have its own domain, theme, and content
Migration & Setup
Already have multiple WordPress sites? We can migrate them into a Multisite network. We'll handle the migration carefully, making sure all your content, users, and settings transfer correctly. No data loss, no downtime if we can help it.
Starting fresh? We'll set up your Multisite network from scratch, configure everything properly, and create your first sites. We'll make sure you understand how to manage it, and we'll be here if you need help adding more sites later.
Whether you're migrating existing sites or starting new, we'll make sure your Multisite network is set up right from the start.
Ongoing Management
Multisite networks need ongoing management. We offer support packages to keep everything running smoothly:
Network Updates
WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated across the entire network. One update covers all sites.
Security Monitoring
Regular security scans and monitoring across all sites in the network. Early detection and prevention of issues.
Backup Management
Regular backups of your entire network. Easy restoration if something goes wrong.
Site Creation
Help adding new sites to your network as your needs grow. We'll set them up properly from the start.
