Realm Platform Multi-site Functionality
One of the most exciting features created on Realm Platform is the multi-site function. This element is extremely powerful and beneficial for businesses with subsidiary companies and managers with multiple sites, as it manages numerous websites from only one backend system!
Platform’s multi-site functionality enables the following:
-
Manage the content of all the websites from one secure location.
-
Allow Platform users access to all websites or a select few.
-
Track the usage and statistics of all the websites in one secure location, allowing for a more holistic e-business model.
-
Track user modifications of all content for all websites in one secure location, allowing for more control and user error accountability.
-
Share customers and newsletter subscribers across all websites allowing for cross marketing.
-
Share content across all websites, eliminating the need for duplicating data.
-
Websites are hosted from one account and in one place, so there is no need to have multiple hosting accounts.
So ultimately every aspect of your e-business can be administrated from one secure location.
An example of the multi-site functionality is the MiX Telematics website. This website was a very large project as there are many regional companies under the MiX banner, all targeted at different audiences. It made sense that a user should be able to logon to one backend system and view all the different websites from that account. This is exactly what Platform did. A user can logon to one Platform account and view the content of all the websites in different countries, change anything on each region and essentially manage each individual website from place.
Many content management systems do not enable multiple websites to be managed from one system and basically require the user to have multiple backend systems, where each one manages a different website. In the MiX Telematics case, this would mean a minimum of 5 Platform systems, each requiring a separate logon to make changes or manage the content. This is impractical, annoying and just doesn’t make sense.
Realm Platform offers a more holistic and user-friendly content management system, and focuses on the enterprise industry, ensuring the costs are significantly reduced. Use Platform to build your website and see the awesome things you can achieve.

Do all the sites have to have the same look and feel?

Deon, All sites can have their own look and feel. They can also have different configuration and data architecture

Niice. How does Google treat the different sites, if I had say 50 of them pertaining to page rank and good SEO capability?

Each site has its own domain, and unique content so you should not have any SEO or Page rank issues. All the usual best practices apply.
