If you’re managing a growing network of websites across brands, markets, departments, languages, or campaigns, WordPress Multisite offers a smarter, more scalable way to operate.

What is WordPress Multisite?
WordPress Multisite is a core feature of WordPress that lets you create and manage a network of sites through a single dashboard.
Each site in the network can have its own domain, content, users, language, and design, while sharing the same infrastructure, codebase, and admin tools.
It’s ideal for organisations needing to balance governance with flexibility. Central teams can manage infrastructure, branding, and localisation, while giving regional or departmental teams room to create, adapt, and publish.
Key features
Single WordPress installation for managing unlimited sites
Centralised user and permissions management
Shared themes and plugins, with optional customisation per site
Domain mapping for branded or region-specific URLs
Native support for language-based sites and multilingual architecture
Consistent security, updates, and governance across all sites

WordPress Multisite use cases

Financial Services
Multisite supports secure, compliant website networks for global banks, fintechs, and insurers. Launch regional platforms in different languages while maintaining a single, governable core infrastructure.
Publishing and Media
Run multiple editorial brands or regional editions on the same platform. Streamline ad tech, editorial workflows, and design systems while allowing each title to publish in its own voice and language.
Enterprise Organisations
Create a digital ecosystem that supports business units, local markets, and global audiences. Multisite provides a single platform for managing multilingual content and coordinating governance at scale.
