    Hi All,
    I’m about to start developing an online portal for a catering company. I’m trying to think of the most efficient way to do it so that is easy to manage.

    The company has more than 200 branches across the UK and these are divided by regions: South, Centre, North. Each branch will have from 1 to 20 users accessing the website. My client requires that each region see a different version of the site (Homepage background, homepage news, downloadable material ecc) at the same moment in time. Every user will require to login in order to view the website.

    Would you use multisite and have one site per region?If so how do I dispatch users to the right site?

    Or maybe should I create different user roles and show the relevant pages depending of the role?

    Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
    thanks

    I’m not sure that you would gain anything by trying to make this multisite, as opposed to just individual separate sites. The sites won’t share users so it doesn’t make sense to have them in a network.

    Other than agressive local SEO work, I’m not sure there is a way to make sure users end up on the site local to them.
