Project Overview

EuroKarz La Benzina will be a modern automotive news aggregator platform curating articles from top publishers, presented in a clean, car-themed design aligned with EuroKarz branding. Visitors can filter content by car brand, join discussions via comments, and enjoy a streamlined browsing experience.

The system will be built on WordPress Multisite to allow future expansion into club microsites, where smaller automobile clubs can host and manage their own content under the EuroKarz ecosystem.

Requirements

1. Aggregator Model

• Staff can manually add/update article links every few hours.
• Articles curated from external publishers (no original content).
• Each article entry includes:
  • Short intro/commentary (ZeroHedge style).
  • Hyperlink to full article on source website.
  • Brand tag (e.g., Porsche, Ferrari, BMW) for filtering/search.

2. Comments Section

• Visitors can leave comments under articles.
• Admins can approve, delete, or block spam.

3. UI/UX Requirements

• Modern, car-inspired design aligned with EuroKarz branding.
• Layout blends simplicity of Drudge Report with interactive features of ZeroHedge.
• Responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

4. Article Filtering / Search

• Visitors can filter articles by car brand or search by keyword (model, topic, etc.).
• Options:
  • Highlight relevant articles in the main feed.
  • Popup/Side Panel view: chronological brand-related headlines.

5. Advertising & Monetization

• Flexible banner ad spaces.
• Sponsor link placements.
• Bottom section with direct links to referenced publishers, influencers, and partners.

6. Club Microsites 

• WordPress Multisite will allow smaller automobile clubs to host microsites.
• Content sent by clubs, updated by EuroKarz staff.
• Layout options:
  • Default: Same as La Benzina (recommended for consistency).
  • Optional: Custom block layouts if clubs request unique designs.

Domain Mapping for Club Sites

Options:

1. Subdirectory – eurokarz.com/clubname
   • ✅ Simple, no DNS setup
   • ❌ Not independently branded
     
2. Subdomain – clubname.eurokarz.com
   • ✅ Better separation from main site
   • ❌ Still tied to EuroKarz domain
     
3. Custom Domain Mapping – clubname.com
   • ✅ Each club gets fully branded identity
   • ✅ Supports SSL with Let’s Encrypt ( base on server )
     

👉 Recommendation: Start with subdirectories for quick launch, then allow subdomain/custom domains for clubs that want independent branding.
