Enterprise and Multisite
One platform for many sites, many editors and clear rules

Sound familiar?
When one site turned into twenty
Scale problems are rarely about traffic first. They are about control.
-
Separate installs everywhere
Each site has its own plugins, versions and logins, and keeping them aligned takes constant effort.
-
Editors can change too much
Or too little. Without roles that match your structure, people either break things or wait on a bottleneck.
-
Brand drift between sites
Every team picks different fonts and layouts, and the family stops looking like a family.
-
Updates feel dangerous
One plugin update could affect every site, so nobody dares touch it without a process.
What you gain
Central control, local freedom
Multisite is not right for every project. When it is, these are the gains.
-
One network to maintain
Shared core, plugins and themes managed once for many sites.
-
Roles that fit your structure
Network admins, site managers and editors with the access each needs.
-
Consistent design system
Shared themes and reusable blocks that keep brand rules intact.
-
Controlled releases
Changes tested on staging and deployed in a planned way.
-
Built for performance
Caching, object storage and database design considered at planning time.
-
Security and access policy
Single sign-on, two-factor login and activity logging where required.
Honest advice
We will tell you if Multisite is not the answer
Multisite suits sites that share a theme and a team. It can be the wrong choice when sites need very different plugins or hosts. We assess this first.nnDiscovery covers your sites, editors, approval steps and hosting so the plan fits how your organization works.
- Multisite network or single large installation
- Domain mapping and per-site settings
- Editorial workflows and approvals
- Migration of existing sites into the network

Often yes. We assess each site and plan the order of migration.
Do you work with our internal IT team?
Yes. We can fit around your hosting, security and release processes.
How is it priced?
By scope. Discovery results in a written plan and a quote you approve first.
