Running many sites the hard way

  • 01

    Updates site by site

    Each site needs its own core and plugin updates, so some fall behind and become a risk.

  • 02

    Brand drift

    Local teams change fonts, colors and layouts, and each site looks a little different.

  • 03

    Duplicate work

    The same page or product is created again on every site by hand.

  • 04

    Scattered logins

    Staff need separate accounts on every site, and removing access is easy to forget.

  • 05

    Hosting sprawl

    Every site has its own hosting bill, backups and monitoring.

  • 06

    Multisite done badly

    An existing network has plugin conflicts, slow admin screens and no clear rules for site owners.

How We Work

How we build your network

We decide what is shared and what is local before writing code.
  1. Discovery

    We map sites, teams, domains and shared content, then fix scope and price. 1-2 weeks.
  2. Design

    A shared block library and brand settings designed in Figma. 2-4 weeks.
  3. Build

    Network, theme, roles and content sharing built on staging with weekly demos. 4-10 weeks.
  4. Migration and launch

    Sites move one at a time with redirects, so each launch is small and easy to roll back.
  5. Support

    Network updates tested on staging first, on a monthly plan.
Step one is a 30-minute consultation. Book a call

FAQ

Multisite FAQ

What to know before moving to a network.

When does WordPress multisite development make sense?

When you run many similar sites that share a theme, plugins and users, such as brands, franchises, schools or country sites. For unrelated sites, separate installs are usually better.

Can each site have its own domain?

Yes. Every site in the network can use its own domain with SSL.

Can sites use different plugins?

Plugins are installed once for the network and turned on per site. Site owners cannot add their own, which is usually good for security.

Does one broken site affect the others?

A bad plugin or code change can affect the whole network. That is why we test on staging and limit who can change code.

Can we move existing sites into multisite?

Yes. We migrate content, media and users, keep URLs or set redirects and launch sites one by one.

Does WooCommerce work on multisite?

Yes, each site can run its own store. Shared products or stock need a sync, which we build as part of the project.
