Managing multiple websites across a franchise network or distributed organization is no small feat. Consistent branding, local flexibility, efficient updates, it’s a juggling act that can quickly become unmanageable without the right setup.

This session is designed for developers, project leads, and digital strategists who want to create scalable, maintainable multisite architectures for clients with a network of similar-but-not-identical websites. You’ll learn how to use WordPress multisite together with Greyd.Suite to build a foundation that supports autonomy, branding control, and central updates without micromanagement.

Whether you’re offering a whitelabeled Website as a Service (WaaS) for franchise partners or building a managed solution for a national chain, this training gives you the structure to succeed, and to scale.

You’ll walk away with a complete blueprint to build franchise-ready multisite platforms that are easy to manage, extend, and monetize.

What we’ll cover:

  • How to plan, configure, and manage a multisite network in WordPress
  • Setting up shared templates with consistent design and branding
  • Allowing controlled local customization without breaking global design rules
  • Creating reusable components using Greyd.Suite’s dynamic templates
  • Managing roles and permissions across distributed teams
  • Strategies for centralized plugin and theme updates
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them when scaling to dozens or hundreds of sites

Use cases we’ll explore:

  • Franchises that want centralized branding with regional adaptation
  • Agencies offering WaaS to niche industries (e.g. fitness studios, consultants, nonprofits)
  • Internal marketing teams managing multiple microsites or event sites
  • Municipal or educational networks needing cohesive but flexible structures

This training is part of a larger strategy for scaling your agency’s technical capacity. By mastering multisite and pairing it with a smart tool stack like Greyd.Suite and WP Umbrella, you’ll reduce duplication, streamline development, and open the door to recurring revenue opportunities. Ideal for any agency ready to step beyond building one site at a time.
