The Wikipedia Effect

wiki_logo_100There's one fundamental thing you need to understand when looking at networks--the Wikipedia effect. Master it and all efforts will be well worth it. Fail to grasp its critical importance and no matter what amount of money you throw at creating your network of websites, results will be disappointing.

 

Scenario #1: You’re already using Wordpress to power your websites

Why go through the trouble of migration? 

It might not sound like it to you at this stage, but going from WordPress to WordPress MultiSite is a full scale migration. In addition to the complexity, costs, time and risks associated with a migration from WordPress to WordPress Multisite, WordPress Multisite is also hampered by limitations includgoing fing privacy, user access issues, and a lack of flexibility when it comes to moving sites in and out from the network.

Don't take our word for it. Watch a top WordPress expert go into detail about the shortcomings of WordPress Multisite here, while she warns about common misconceptions in regarding the WordPress multisite platform

 

Even if you can hire talent with the technical competencies required to manage this project, when it comes to building a sites network, WordPress Multisite is nothing else than a "single box" solution that is unable to help multi-locations or multi-sites businesses perform in any kind of enhanced capacity, except from a system and software administration stand-point.

  

There's simply no scale or network benefit, nor can you geo-target websites with WordPress Multisites.
