    Hi,

    I’m looking to build a company website that has two different departments. The site will have a landing page, then two separate sub-sites, setup like this:

    Landing page – http://www.company.com
    Sub-site 1 – http://www.company.com/one
    Sub-site 2 – http://www.company.com/two

    Can I install two different templates on /one and /two? I want both sites to look completely different, but they will both be hosted/managed together. I also want to use a separate template for the landing page, where people choose which sub-site they wish to load.

    Thanks for your help,

    Kallak

    This sounds like a perfect situation for WordPress Multisite, where the Root would be Site 1, /one/ would be Site 2 and /two/ would be Site 3. Each site can have its own Theme (of which Template is a part).

    Thanks for the quick reply. There is currently an HTML/PHP site that we’re looking to replace with this WordPress multisite. Can we install the multisite into a test directory on the server, or will it conflict with the existing site?

    Yes, you can install multisite into a test directory on the same site without any interference. That is common practice for development.
