As an experienced agency that has already implemented extensive multisite systems, we take care of the complete technical setup, user roles, assignment of rights, the structure of the individual pages and the design. In this way, we create a future-proof solution with maximum flexibility for you. Let us start your multisite project!

For whom is a WordPress multisite system worthwhile?

As soon as you run more than one website with WordPress, you should consider a WordPress multisite system. Here are a few examples where multisite is worthwhile:

A company has several locations that all have their own websites.
An organization or company runs different companies under one roof or operates thematically separate areas on different sites.
Franchisees should be able to manage their own website independently, but within a centrally controlled system.
An education provider operates a separate site for each school, course or region, but technically all in one installation.
An association wants to maintain subpages for individual departments or events in addition to the main site.

In short: Wherever several websites need to run on a common basis, Multisite offers a clear, scalable and time-saving solution.

Central administration, uniform themes & more: the advantages

With a WordPress multisite system, you benefit from numerous advantages: You manage all your websites centrally, saving you time and maintenance costs. Thanks to standardized themes and shared plugins, a consistent appearance is created across all sites. New projects can be set up quickly and existing content can be maintained efficiently. User management is flexible and access rights can be controlled in a targeted manner. The central structure optimizes hosting and you always have an overview with just one login. Whether for a group of companies, a franchise system or for thematically separate sites: A multisite is the ideal solution for scalable, professional websites from a single source.

We are happy to take care of that:

Setup of the multisite system
Configuration of domains/subdomains
User roles and assignment of rights
Design templates for individual sites
Plugin and theme management
Security and backup solutions
Performance optimization
Support and maintenance
Migration of existing websites to Multisite
Training and guidance for your team

Get a picture: How Multisite works

Just imagine opening WordPress and having direct access to all the websites you manage. This is what it looks like in practice:

WordPress-Multisite-System: Dashboard, über das 5 Webseiten betreut werden

WordPress Multisite:
Manage multiple websites in one system

WordPress-Multisite-System: Webseiten mit unterschiedlicher Menüstruktur

Each website can be customized individually:
All websites of the multisite system still have their own structure

One style across all sides:
The pages appear in a uniform look, but at the same time can be individually modularized

Setting up WordPress Multisite

Setting up a WordPress multisite system requires a few preparatory steps. First, WordPress is installed and the multisite function is activated. You then decide whether your pages should be accessible via a subdomain (e.g. store.yourdomain.com) or subdirectory (e.g. yourdomain.com/shop). The next step is to configure the network settings, user roles and website structure.

Plugins and themes can also be managed network-wide or released specifically for individual pages. A well thought-out concept is important to ensure that subsequent administration remains efficient. As an agency, we take care of the complete setup for you, technically clean and future-proof. This allows you to work directly with your multisite.

A relief for admins and editors

In the WordPress multisite system, administrators have the option of managing each individual website centrally via the network dashboard. New sites can be added with just a few clicks. Themes, plugins and settings can be customized for each site.

At the same time, the technical basis remains standardized. Users can also be specifically assigned to individual pages. This gives you full control over structure, content and access rights - all with just one login and a clear interface.

We can also help you with this

If you already have one or more WordPress installations, we will take a look at how we can implement the multisite system on the existing basis. For completely new projects, our team of WordPress developers and experienced designers are able to support you from the design concept to the complete implementation of your website, for example in these areas:

Design, Themes & Modules: We design your multisite entirely according to your wishes, with a uniform corporate design or individual layouts for each page. Together, we select suitable themes and develop modules that exactly match your structure and your target group.
Plugins: We install and configure all the required plugins - network-wide or just for certain pages. We pay attention to security, compatibility and performance. We are also happy to take on individual plugin developments or customizations for your multisite system.
Multilingualism: Would you like to offer your pages in several languages? We can set up a multilingual setup. This makes your multisite internationally visible.
Accessibility: On request, we can optimize your multisite system for accessible web design. We take legal requirements into account, use accessible themes and advise on sensible adaptations.

Together we have done it again: 4eck Media has been at our side as an agency since 2015 and accompanies our success with website development. Our new booking pages for the apartment complexes in Zingst, Waren, Wustrow and Krakow am See were finished on time and they are really great: modern and user-friendly, even the booking process for the guest has been optimized for mobile. 4eck Media did not shy away from the special challenge of connecting to a booking API and we now have a great booking route for our guests. With our new booking platforms, we are now technically up to date and future-oriented - also for future expansions into other regions. What makes 4eck Media different from other web agencies? You know what you are doing, you work technically clean and you keep your promises - and that has been the case with us for 8 years! Many thanks for that.
