Are you planning to build multiple websites for your business? Before you do, read out free, 9-page white paper, "When to Use a Multi-Site Architecture," to learn more about the significant savings that multi-site can deliver. If your goals require multiple websites, a multi-site solution could cut your development and maintenance costs in half.

Here's an excerpt from the white paper:

"More often than not, one website can deliver everything an organization needs, and help them achieve all of their goals."

In some cases, however, your goals may necessitate multiple, related websites. Perhaps you want to build upon the success of your resource site for plumbers, and offer one for electricians as well. Maybe you want to create an online university, separate from your main site, and offer courses to your current users. Or maybe you want to customize multiple online stores for different segments of your customer base, but offer many of the same products to them.

...In each case, these separate sites share some information or functionality. It would save a significant amount of time, money, and frustration if you could build these separate sites on a common base, sharing the information that needs to be shared, and customizing the pieces that are meant to be unique.

"Fortunately, you can."
