The situation here is that there is a list of 25 sites (paginated).
In order to use POST, each 'add site' button would be a form. Adding
a site presents a 'new subsite' function that allows them to enter
some data before saving, so, a user reloading a page repeatedly isn't
going to create multiple sites.

I'm leaning towards that. Right now I've got 3 controllers, admin,
client and manager. The theory was to keep each of the backend areas
in a controller but, I'm finding that layout to be problematic.
