Multi-venue Site Setup
A multisite approach would need a license for each site and hence cost you more money.
For the logo property you could use a dynamic property which should be set on each venue container.

OK, so a page container approach would be better for each venue?
If I were to use a property on the page container, how would I access that property from a page within that container? Sorry if this is an obvious question I'm just not used to how EPiServer works 100% yet :-)

You need to access that page in some way.
If you have many more properties that are venue specific and should be set at the container level I would create a dynamic pagereference property on the container page and point it to the container page it self.
Then in your usercontrol and templatebase classes you could create a helper property that reads that dynamic property and returns it in the correct type.
Pseudo code:
YourContainerPageType HelperProperty
get
{
// Read value from dynamic property
// If set get the page and cast it to the correct type and return it.
}
Then in your views/templates you can easyli access any settings with ie HelperProperty.LogImage

Hi guys,
I am brand new to EPiServer (we have version 7) and I'm after some advice about setting up a multi-venue site. By this I mean a single company that owns a set of venues at diffetent locations in the country (or the world). The client would like to have a separate set of pages for each venue, as each venue will have slightly different offerings.
I'd like the set up to work thus...
http://www.myvenue.com/london/en/
http://www.myvenue.com/manchester/en/
http://www.myvenue.com/germany/de
...etc. Each location could potentially have multiple languages too (en, de, jp etc).
What would be the best way to do this in EPiServer? Would I have a single EPiServer site and use page containers for each location, placing the folder structure under each container or would I use a multi-site set up?
They'd like to have an editor property where each venue can upload their own logo to use in the header of their venue's pages. If I was to use the page container method (one page container per venue), how would I set up an editor property that applies to all pages under that container? I.e. an editor property for just the parent container page that affetcs all the child pages.
I hope you can help :-)
Many thanks,
Chris
