Project Scope

 

CMFR owns and manages more than one website that uses WordPress as CMS and the solutions team was required to redesign, incorporate and merge them altogether to make it managing the websites easier for CMFR. The first phase of the project was migration of data and assets of 5 websites to their main website and configure them to behave as sub-domains or directories which was how they are structured before to retain SEO stats and URLs alive. A multi-site feature was made in order for this to be achieved wherein CMFR can also set multiple themes, widgets and plugins to sub sites that is controlled by just one main wordpress instance.
