Planning a Generator for Subsites and Controlled Subdirectories

How to think about mass-generating subdirectories with their own context, permissions, and starter structure instead of cloning sites by hand.

When one project needs many similar subsites, manual setup quickly becomes the bottleneck. The better approach is to think in terms of generation: create the subdirectory, attach the right context and permissions, and provision the basic page set automatically.

This kind of tooling turns repeated site setup into a productized workflow. Even if the first implementation is rough, the long-term gain is huge for teams managing many regional, partner, or campaign variants.
