| Title | Selling point of Composr: Ability to create sub-communities |

| Description | After reviewing many of our competition CMS software, I've noticed one big thing Composr has an advantage over just about every other CMS system out there: its powerful ability to create subcommunities. I have yet to find another CMS that can separate out content, themes, and so on... and even map other domains to different sections of the same software installation... like Composr can. And even if other CMSes can do it, usually their power in doing so doesn't compare to Composr and/or they only offer it as an addon feature and not native to the software.
Therefore, I feel this feature would be a great selling point for Composr CMS in terms of marketing; its ability to NATIVELY support separated sub-communities (with separated content, eg. virtual roots) even with different domains while using the same installation. |

If you host just a few communities - there's not much difference from just hosting separate websites.
If you host a moderate number of communities - the cost maintaining the infrastructure, branding, etc, will not be met by whatever each of the communities combined can pay.
If you host a very large number of communities - things have to be incredibly optimised so there's no support requirement by each site. Which isn't really possible for a complex product like Composr, only for something simple like Facebook Pages (which would be an insurmountable competitor in that case).
So, while it would be great if people set up more community hubs with Composr, promoting that would not make it's money back (because those sites couldn't pay us much for the development), and is pretty niche.
So our promotional strategies need to be much more scalable, or be directly profitable.
