If i want to create Wordpress websites for clients, do I have to install Wordpress for each new Wordpress site I make?

It would be the cleanest way to do so.

You could look at the multi-site option, which would allow you to have multiple wordpress sites running on one set of core files, but even I don't go for that option. I just reinstall WP into a new sub-directory for each site I work on.

Thank you Kevin, are you a WP developer ?

For myself at the moment. I have a large WP based project I'm working on privately, and I'm also developing a website using WP as the content management system for a family member's business, since they are familiar with WP already.

Hi there,

As far as I am aware yes you need to have a fresh Wordpress install for each site you make.

Thank you Liam
