This section guides you through the upfront design of your sites hierarchy with focus on the recommended hierarchy as used by many of CoreMedia's customers.

The decision on the hierarchy of your sites within CoreMedia Multi-Site will influence your editorial processes. As changing the site hierarchy after initial kickoff is not an easy task, it is recommended to spend some thoughts upfront on the hierarchy in the design phase of your project.

Note

The structure of the sites is strictly hierarchical. All derived sites can only have one site as their master. The propagation of content items is always from top to bottom, that is, from master to derived.
