 * Hi there,
 * We(small and young social deign company) develop about 2-3 wordpress websites
   per week. nothing special. most of them template based.
    Our boss wants to speed
   up this process and increase our output. So I am looking for some ideas how to
   streamline design, implementation, tweaking and deployment process. Our goal 
   is to get website up and running 2-3 days.(only template and structure, no content
   or some custom features)
 * Currently each project we install WP into some subdomain.ourwebsite.com, and 
   after a client is happy we zip all directories and export db drop.
    This process
   has too many the same repetitive moves: installation of WP for each new project
   and exporting of it on production hosting.
 * What do you think how would work Multisite WP installation? I’ve never tried 
   it.
    And is there something a little bit less complicated as WP stack?
 * Perhaps someone could share their dev process?
 * I’d be happy to chat about it.
 * Regards,
    Alex

 * Well.. so no one wants to share their experience at all?

 * It’s quite difficult to move single sites out of Multisite so I would not go 
   there.
 * I don’t think there is a one-size approach to this kind of question – it depends
   on MANY variables. Lots of people do it the same way you do or some have the 
   client set up hosting first and develop it on the client’s server.

 * Thanks WPyogi for your respond..
 * Well.. since I started topic.. many things changed.. as one of them I quit that
   job :)) and started work again as freelancer.
    But I am still improving and streamline
   my own development process
 * So just to keep this post useful and updated I will edit from time to time..
 * Now my best and easiest way is to use ManageWP solution.
    They have site clone,
   import and export feature.. I have fresh clean install snapshot.. which I clone
   in couple clicks for each new project. Once the project is finished I export 
   it in couple clicks to any ftp… So far that’s best and smoothest process I found..
 * But I am still believe there are some ways to streamline this process even more..
   
   I haven’t tried SVN (beanstalkapp) solution yet.. Looks like with SVN/Git I could
   just create a branch from original wordpress instance, deploy it onto stage server..
   Once I finished with site, deploy it onto production server.. So this approach
   gives 2 in 1.. versioning and deployment
