# customize network site (hardcoded site description)

 * Hi,
    I’ve created a website (child) based on the Spun theme : [http://www.tegula.be](http://www.tegula.be).
   This site is the dutch version. Now, I’ve created a network site (the english
   version) : [http://www.tegula.be/en/](http://www.tegula.be/en/). All goes well!
 * But, the only problem now is: my site description (www.tegula.be) : “gespecialiseerd
   in de restauratie van keramische tegels, mozaïek, aardewerk, steengoed, porselein
   en aanverwante materialen”.
    I hardcoded the site description in header.php.
 * I want to put the english version of the site description on [http://www.tegula.be/en/](http://www.tegula.be/en/)
 * However, since [http://www.tegula.be/en/](http://www.tegula.be/en/) is “virtual”,
   it does not not have an actual folder on the server. So I cannot make a separate
   translation for my site description.
 * Any solution?
 * Thanks,
    Christophe.

 * In header.php, you could use an IF statement to check which site you’re viewing,
   then change the site description accordingly. I’m not sure exactly how you’d 
   do that, probably check the URL…
 *     ```
       if ( viewing the English version ) :
          echo "English tagline";
       else :
          echo "Dutch tagline";
       endif;
       ```
   
 * It’s the “viewing the English version” part I’m not sure how you’d code.
