Multi-domain set-ups
A multi-domain set-up runs several domains, brands or languages in one shared system. Updates, security and content management happen in one place.
When several websites belong in one system
Running several websites in one system cuts maintenance and reduces security risks. Many organisations have separate sites for countries, languages, brands or product lines. Each installation needs its own updates and hosting, and carries its own security risks. Content is maintained twice, and the design drifts apart.
A multi-domain set-up runs several sites in one system, for example as a multi-site in Statamic.
Benefits of a shared system
one system for updates, security and backups
shared components and design system, with room for each brand
central management of shared content, local management of site-specific content
permissions per site, so teams only edit their own content
SEO and technology
For multiple languages and countries, we set hreflang and canonical tags correctly, so that search engines show each user the right version. Every domain gets a valid certificate. Redirects and domain variants are handled consistently.
When separate systems make more sense
A shared system is not always the right fit. If brands have completely different functions, their own owners or strict legal separation, separate installations can be the better choice. We weigh this up with you on the basis of upkeep, risk and cost.
Approach
Together we decide which sites to merge and which should stay independent. We then plan structure, permissions and migration. Existing URLs get 301 redirects so that rankings are preserved.
For editorial teams, we set up the interface so that each person only sees the sites and functions they need.
