Drupal multisite - multiple websites with better ROI
Organise all of your websites, everywhere, all at once.
Perfect for:
Struggling to manage multiple websites across brands, markets, or regions?
You’re not alone. Most growing organisations end up with a fragmented web estate: different platforms, duplicated efforts, rising costs, and no clear visibility.
Every update takes too long. Every change feels risky. And every market ends up reinventing the wheel. It’s hard to stay consistent, harder to stay compliant and nearly impossible to scale efficiently.
A smarter approach starts with central control.
Built for leaders who need visibility, speed, and results
Greater brand consistency
A shared design system and component library keeps your brand aligned across all sites, with the flexibility to customise where needed.
Increased security & compliance
Manage privacy and compliance from one codebase. Reduce risk, maintain standards, and avoid the headaches of scattered micro-sites.
Streamlined acquisitions & launches
Quickly roll out new websites that are secure, on-brand, and scalable. Perfect for M&A strategies or rapid growth.
Faster release cycles
Update all your sites simultaneously with the latest features, security patches, and improvements, without the manual overhead.
More shared features
Unlock shared design components and functionality across sites, creating a consistent, efficient content management experience.
How does Pivale's Drupal Multisite work?
A central “brain” controls shared resources including configuration, modules, apps, templates, styles, etc.
Resources and development are shared between all websites.
While resources are shared, each website remains unique with its own database for content and users.
Reduce development costs and the risk to your business with Pivale's Drupal Multisite solution.

A centralised repository acts like a brain for your multisite infrastructure. It knows where to find all of the assets for each of your websites and what should and shouldn't be included for each website. This central, single point of maintenance makes managing multiple websites a joy.
Accessibility is managed as a central asset of the multisite infrastructure meaning all websites will receive updates as legislation changes and best practices and technology adapts and improves.
Artificial intelligence plugins are managed centrally to improve performance and governance as well as ensuring all websites in your infrastructure maintain access to the same versions of tools.
Compliance and governance are centralised in the multisite infrastructure to ensure no sites are exposed to risks.
Functionality is centralised in order to give all your websites access to the latest innovations and updates, ensuring no site is left behind.
A centralised design system ensures that all websites share common components that follow best practices with regards to performance, accessibility, and user experience.
Layouts and component templates are shared to ensure you don't pay for the same design multiple times across your websites.
Shared security ensures that all your websites are secure, up-to-date, and protected from malicious hackers and bots.
Integrations can take some time to configure. By centralising your third party integrations you'll never need to worry about any of your websites working with your other software again.
Contributed community modules can quickly and easily solve generic business problems and by centralising their management and configuration, you'll ensure all your websites benefit from the shared functionality.
Each website remains unique. Every website in the multisite infrastructure has its own database for content and user access as well as a custom theme for branding and personality, and analytics so you can continually perform data analysis on a site by site basis.

Mark ChambersMarketing ManagerDrainfastI've worked with Pivale on several occasions over the years, designing and building websites. They are consummate professionals with a wealth of technical knowledge. Most recently, I required a solution for three separate brands that could grow together whilst retaining their unique identities and over time cater to new brand launches and acquisitions. Pivale's multisite solution has allowed us to innovate and launch new brands quickly.

Niki EvansDigital Marketing and Campaign ManagerVirtus HealthOur experience with Pivale has been seamless and enjoyable from the beginning. We set the task of building new websites for our 5 Australian clinics plus one clinic site in Singapore and the global corporate site. The Pivale team were quick to find a solution that not only saved us time but also halved the cost to build 7 traditional websites. They listened to our requirements, and were able to adapt and optimise at every stage. Nothing was ever off the table.
Your multisite questions, answered
How is a Drupal Multisite setup different from running separate websites?
Running separate sites means duplicating effort, updates, compliance checks, branding tweaks, integrations again and again. A Drupal Multisite setup brings everything under one roof: shared codebase, shared components, and centralised governance. You get speed, consistency, and total control.
Will each site still be able to maintain its own identity?
Absolutely. Each site has its own database, theme, and analytics, meaning you can customise content, branding, and functionality where it matters. Shared resources don’t mean identical websites, they just mean less wasted effort.
Can this scale as our business grows or we acquire new brands?
That’s exactly what it’s built for. New websites can be spun up quickly and efficiently using the existing infrastructure. Whether you're launching a microsite or onboarding an acquired brand, you won't be starting from scratch ever.
What if different teams need different features?
With Pivale’s multisite solution, you choose what’s shared and what’s unique. Some features can be globally available, while others are site-specific. It’s a sliding scale not a one-size-fits-all.
How does this help with compliance and security?
One secure codebase means one place to manage GDPR, accessibility, privacy policies, and security patches. Instead of chasing updates across 10+ websites, you apply changes once and every site benefits instantly.
