9,071 PointsCreating a Wordpress site for showcasing different themes
Hello!
I've done a search for this question on Treehouse and the web and have so far come short, so I am hoping someone here can help :)
How does one make a website which allows users to 'demo' various themes? An example is http://teslathemes.com/wp-themes/ where you can view the themes they sell.
I do not plan on selling any themes myself but would like to create a website where I can showcase all the different themes I have created as part of my Wordpress education.
I have poked around the front-end code for that site and I cannot figure out how they are doing it.
Thanks in advance.

But what i think i believe they could do, since its thier website, they just put in the HTML DEMO, same as you can write Previev or any toher thing. Demo is jsut a word in the html tags that they put in .
And when you click on it, they have this top maybe dynamic stuff like prize . They out it in thier wp-themes/cre8or/ so they dont need a domain , they put it in folder and added new. And if you want to buy it, you can buy it like shoes .
Thats my guessing but i dont exactly know how they did it.

And added some woocomerce features as well.

9,071 PointsThanks Zac! The multisite option is something I came across after doing some more Googlin'. I will explore that option.
Great Wordpress tutorials btw!
