What is WordPress Multisite?

WordPress Multisite is a network of sub-sites connected to a single WordPress installation. This structure allows franchisors to manage a unified brand presence while giving franchisees the flexibility to customize content for their specific markets. Each sub-site is part of a larger whole, sharing a centralized dashboard, themes, and plugins, but with the ability to cater to individual locations.

Think of it as a “parent site” overseeing numerous “child sites”, each tailored to an individual franchise location. It’s the perfect blend of centralized control and localized flexibility – allowing corporate teams to maintain brand consistency while empowering franchisees with localized marketing.
