Who Benefits from a WordPress Multisite System?
As soon as you operate more than one website with WordPress, you should consider a WordPress Multisite system. Here are a few examples where Multisite is advantageous:
- A company has multiple locations, each having its own website.
- An organization or society manages different businesses under one roof or operates thematically separate areas on different pages.
- Franchisees should be able to manage their own website independently while still being part of a centrally controlled system.
- An educational provider operates a separate page for each school, course, or region, but technically everything is within one installation.
- A club wants to maintain not only the main site but also subpages for individual departments or events.
In summary: Wherever multiple websites need to run on a common basis, Multisite offers a clear, scalable, and time-saving solution.

Setting Up WordPress Multisite
Setting up a WordPress Multisite system requires some preparatory steps. First, WordPress is installed and the Multisite feature is activated. After that, you need to decide whether your sites should be accessible via subdomain (e.g., shop.yourdomain.com) or subdirectory (e.g., yourdomain.com/shop). In the next step, the network settings, user roles, and site structure are configured.
Plugins and themes can also be managed network-wide or selectively activated for individual sites. Having a well-thought-out concept is important to ensure that later management remains efficient. As an agency, we take care of the complete setup for you, technically clean and future-proof. This way, you can start working with your Multisite directly.
A Relief for Admins and Editors
In the WordPress Multisite system, administrators have the ability to manage each individual site centrally through the network dashboard. New sites can be added with just a few clicks. For each site, themes, plugins, and settings can be customized individually.
At the same time, the technical base remains uniform. Users can also be specifically assigned to individual sites. This way, you maintain full control over structure, content, and access rights – all with just one login and a clear interface.
