Landing page/copying of website

    Dear all,

    I want to promote a music festival. It was organized before in Amsterdam, but now it expands to Groningen, another city, under the same name. There is already a website for the Amsterdam edition. Therefore, I want to create a ‘ landing page’ on this page, so that people who go to the general website can choose between the Amsterdam edition and the Groningen edition. Then, I want to copy all of the Amsterdam edition website (lay-out, plug-ins, everything) and use this to create the website for the Groningen edition, because I will only need to adjust the text content to make it work. So, if people go to the website, they first choose between the Amsterdam edition or the Groningen edition on a landing page. The Groningen edition website and Amsterdam edition website that the landing page directs the people to, look the same lay-out wise, only the textual content differs. Does anyone have advice on how to create this? I have been considering the landing page plug-in, and creating a multiple-site network, but I’m not sure what to do.

    Advice much appreciated! Cheers,
    Sophie

    depends on how you want the URLs to look like. obviously if you change the existing (Amsterdam) URLS then there would be lots of redirects required. so if you want to keep them as it is then just create one page which can be used as home page with links to current Amsterdam sections and then new pages for the new one which i would say not so smart but clean and easy way to do

    Thanks for your quick reply. Then I guess I could remove links from the Amsterdam to the Groningen website and vice versa. Only problem is that news would probably show up at both websites at once, would need to fix that also. This is definitely an option, so thanks very much for posting. If anyone reading this has other suggestions, I’d still be happy to hear about them!

    How did you do it?

    See the website: I made a landing page (static front page) with the two clickable logos, then a ‘home page’ (static) for each location separately. Then, I made dropdown menus in the upper right hand corner per location, so that both ‘websites’ are easily accessible and can still have multiple pages themselves. The news parts are separated via blog post categories. If you have any more specific questions, I’ll be happy to answer them
