The welcome page would just be part of your theme files on the main site. That’s it.
Nothing multisite special about it. 😉 Just where the links go to.
#Andrea_r: Thanks for the quick anwer, but in this case how to get it to redirect to two different wordpress site ? One for each branches?
Make a static page in WP and use it as a static front page.
Create two subsites (france and italy) and you’ll get domain.com/france etc (WOrdPress will magically handle that, don’t stress too much).
On your static front page, link to your sites.
Have beer 🙂
Schweet! In that case can I import my old website settings and content (the one of the first branch) as one of the sub-site?
Is your old site a WordPress site?
Yes, but HOW you import it depends.
If it’s installed in domain.com then you can either keep it there and activate MultiSite on that install, OR you can move it to another folder, install a fresh install of WP at domain.com, and create the subsites.
Also doing the traditional import/export will NOT bring your settings over.
Currently it is hosted and is installed on lefish.com, so I guess the best solution is to activate multisite on this install and graft the new site on this?
In this case should I create a static page for the site I have already running?

Like ipstenu said: you put those links on a page in your theme. Have a beer.
I am nontech girl… I have the same issue. Have my domain.com page. Managed to get multisite. But I cant get further. How can I make domain.com into domain.com/italy? How to set up static page – as separate site? Theoretically I understand the scheme but how to do it in wp? And how to get new site domain.com/france? If I write like this in new site adress field wp says “missing or invalid site address”.
Thank you in advance!
cherrystreetkid – You should make your own topic, if the directions given in this one aren’t enough.
Also if you’re non-tech, you may need to consider hiring someone.
Remember, domain.com and domain.com/italy are SEPARATE sites. You make a static front page on domain.com, NOT on domain.com/italy.
