If the liberty of the "client" sites is of primary concern, then
you can use a so called "service oriented architecture".
Such an architecture sonsists of components, most of which providing
a services via a standard API, destined for programmatic use.

You can have services on different levels of abstraction, e.g.
a base level using only structural data without any presentation
and on top of this some standard presentation (which can be used
by clients with more standard presentation requirements).

There are several API-frameworks: e.g. frameworks supporting
WSDL (= "Web Services Description language", an XML-based technology),
JSON-RPC, XML-RPC, ReST, ...

do it as django does it
.in django you have templates like take the example of a single webpage

other pages only modify what they need to. like the footer will remain the
same on all pages, so only the top part needs to be specified

similarly for your website, you can go along that line ^^,

Design a single web site, then have the child sites customize the CSS
*only*. That way, you guarantee that all functionality is the same,
but you can change the look and feel as you need. Modern CSS can do
rather a lot in terms of redefining the layout of a page.

Modern website

[Andrew Z]

I realize the following has little todo with python per se. But i hope to
get a guidance on how these types of tasks are done nowadays.

The task:
Ive been asked to create  an integration process. That is a few webpages
with questioneer with the submission to a "mother" company using its API .
Ideally this process will be used by a few 3rd party "child" companies -
they would just point a link from their site to mine. Prospective users
will fill out the pages and "mother company" will create accounts
associated with the referal "child" company.

The problem:
  how do i create a modern , slick  website. I also see , that each of
"child" would want to extend the look and feel of their site onto this
process. So, my process should have at least a few templates i can offer ,
that would match their site...
Im not too excited to use weebly or squarespace - id rather host everything
myself.
