Multiple websites¶
Odoo allows you to create multiple websites from the same database. This can be useful, for example, if you have multiple brands operating under your organization, or to create separate websites for different products/services, or different audiences. In these cases, having different websites can help avoid confusion and make it easier to tailor your digital outreach strategies and reach your target audience.
Each website can be designed and configured independently with its own domain name, theme, pages, menus, languages, products, assigned sales team, etc. They can also share content and pages.

Duplicate content (i.e., pages and content shared between multiple websites) can have a negative impact on Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
Website creation¶
To create a new website, proceed as follows:
Go to .
Click + New Website.
Specify the Website Name and Website domain. Each website must be published under its own domain.
Adapt the Company name, Languages and Default language if needed.
Click the Create button.
You can then start building your new website.
Nota
By default, all website-related apps that you have installed (e.g. eCommerce, Forum, Blog, etc.) and their related website pages are also available on the new website. You can remove them by amending the website’s menu.
Switching websites¶
To switch from one website to another, click the menu next to the +New button in the top right corner and select the website you want to switch to.
Nota
When you switch websites, you are redirected to the other website, to the same page (URL) as the current one. If the page you are currently viewing does not exist on the other website, you are redirected to a 404 error page. Once redirected, click Create page to create the page.
Website-specific configuration¶
