Architecture Guide
A 16-site content network sounds complicated. It isn't — if you understand the architecture. This guide covers the structural decisions that make the entire system work: the monoclone template, the satellite site model, free-tier hosting, and how to avoid Google's template fingerprinting penalties.

Every site in the network shares one base template with per-site customization. One codebase, 16 deployments, zero hosting fees.
