Creating a website similar to Wordpress

Hello, I have a client who is looking to getting a site made similar to Wordpress but whose target market is sportsclubs. He wants sportsclubs to go to his website and to be able to make websites for them.

It is obviously possible but how? I am guessing that CMS will be used. Also, security needs to be paramount!

Thank you for your help everyone!

This can easily be done by utilizing the power of WordPress MS (Multisite). Of course you would need some nice themes that the different sports clubs can choose between.

Thank you! I have never heard of that method before. Do you know how we could do that by coding it by ourselves from the start with php, etc…?

Please see http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network for in-depth information.

It is pretty simple read the page that NuClearThemes refer to and it will take you 10 min. to setup the WordPress Multisite – of course then you need to find themes and plugins that will support what ever you are planning to do. Codecanyon and Themeforest is a good resource for this
