We want to implement a WordPress multi site installation for a network of dealers of a certain product. (Think car dealership.) Exactly how much can be customized on the individual installations? We want to use multi site as there are over 100 installations and we don't want to maintain the updates individually, but we also need to have unique content on each. The theme will be the same, but we'd like to customize text, photos, colors, contact forms, and the ability add extra pages, and additional features that may arise. Does anyone have any insight as to what is safe to customize on a multi site network and what might be risky or too difficult?
We run multiple Wordpress Multisites and they are very customizable. Assigning custom domains to a Wordpress site is not supported out of the box, but with a domain mapping plugin, you can do it. We have a multisite deployment with 50 sites running on it and all of the sites have their own domain names. The backend url is even mapped so the client does not have to look at your domain. If you have any other questions, let me know. I have been working with Wordpress Multisite since it was Wordpress MU.
