Multiple Websites in Same Domain
Permalink
I've read quite a few topics and pieces of great documentation but haven't quite been able to pin down what I'm looking for.
I'd like to upgrade 3 largely independent websites on the same domain and manage them through one C5 install.
Currently these sites exist in the form
http://www.domain.com - which is basically a linking page for the 3 subsites
http://www.domain.com/site1
http://www.domain.com/site2
http://www.domain.com/site3
and they cater for 3 related but different services that I'd like to keep separate.
From what I've read so far, simply creating sub-pages should do the job but I can't see how to create independent navigation structures for each sub-section.
I know 3 different c5 installs would solve it but what I've read so far tells me there must be a more elegant solution staring me in the face!

Thank you very much for the reply. Yes, that would be something like it.
The sites are currently plain old html originally created in Dreamweaver over 10 years ago that I'm replacing using C5.
I'll see how I go with your structure suggestion this evening. I'm not experienced with redirects so might have some more searching and reading to do before I finally nail it but you've given me hope!
Thanks again.

home (disable autonav/sitemap/pagelist)
- Site 1 (redirekt to first child, disable sitemap/pagelist)
-- home (autonav: display pages at the second level)
-- page a (autonav: display pages at the second level)
-- page b (autonav: display pages at the second level)
-- kontakt (autonav: display pages at the second level)
- Site 2 (redirekt to first child, disable sitemap/pagelist)

are there 3 different base url for the Sites? Redirect (301) to sub-sections (f.e.http://www.domain.com/site1/home ). You need another url for the linking page (url where concrete5 is installed).
