Dos it sound like I need multisite for this concept?

  • So I’m doing a site for a company who wants there to be an option where when you enter the website you choose your store out of 80 locations and everything in the website automatically gets personalized to your store.

    So basically the layout/theme would be the exact same for every store, but just different info, so when you choose the store it loads that store’s short codes, front page content, photo of he manager, map to the store, etc……but all stores would still share the same blog and “seasonal offers” page , contest pages, and other things that are the same for every store.

    I’m thinking I need multisite but I’m also thinking this might be possible by like some sort of session cookies that automatically loads

  • Does the whole site need to be different for every store? Could you make just different profile pages for every store? So for example, there’s a menu item for “Store Locations” and when you visit that page you can choose a store. Each store page has the photo of the manager, map to location and anything else specific to that store. You could make the page URLS something like thestore.com/locations/losangeles using “Parent Pages” or don’t use parent pages so it would be thestore.com/losangeles.

    You could set up a unique page template so that the store profile pages almost look like homepages. But this way, the seasonal offers, blog, etc. will still be the same.

    What Tim said ?? I’d use pages or Custom Post Types instead of whole SITES. The site seems overkill.
