Multisite: efficiently manage multiple websites with one CMS

If your organization manages multiple websites, it can quickly become complex and time-consuming. Multisite offers the solution by allowing you to centrally manage multiple websites from a single content management system (CMS). This approach saves you time, reduces errors, and maintains a consistent appearance across all your websites. At PixelDeluxe, we use multisite functionalities to make your digital ecosystem organized and scalable.

What is multisite?

Multisite is a functionality within CMS platforms, such as Craft CMS, that allows you to manage multiple websites from a single central environment. This means you use one system to manage all content, settings, and users, while each website can retain its own unique characteristics.

When is multisite a good solution?

Multisite is ideal for organizations that:

• Manage brands or divisions with separate websites but want consistency in branding and functionality.
• Have an international presence and want to manage a separate website for each country or language.
• Serve different target audiences through unique websites with specific content and functionalities.
• Want to increase efficiency: Centralizing the management of multiple websites saves time and prevents duplication of work.

The benefits of multisite

1. Central management: Manage all content and settings from one CMS environment without constantly logging in and out.
2. Cost savings: Less technical overhead and maintenance, as everything runs on one platform.
3. Consistency: Uniformity in design and functionality across all websites, with room for customization where needed.
4. Easy scalability: Easily add new websites as your organization grows.
5. Multilingualism: Manage multiple languages or country sites within the same environment.
