Project overview
Garage Services UK needed a more manageable way to run websites for hundreds of motor garages. I developed a custom WordPress multisite platform that lets the team create, customise and maintain sites centrally.
The challenge
When I joined the project in 2018, each client had a separate WordPress installation and a premium theme. Updating plugins, fixing bugs and making shared content changes meant working across many independent sites.
One platform, individual websites
I proposed a multisite installation with a custom theme. Shared code and updates could be managed in one place, while flexible layouts and styling options allowed each garage’s website to retain its own identity.
Giving the team control
The team can create a new site, choose its styling and populate its content without needing a developer for every launch. Since the platform was introduced, they have added several hundred client websites themselves.
