I'm looking to deploy a number of wordpress sites with the same format. Basically, it would be a main sales page funnel, privacy policy and a few other pages per site. The products would be slightly different from site to site, but the format should stay the same.

So far, the process is as follows:

1. Purchase domain
2. Setup add-on domain in cpanel
3. Use Quick Installer to setup new Wordpress install
4. Install template, plug-ins, setup configuration of Wordpress

To avoid all the process of step 4 and to automate those actions, what steps do you take?

I've been thinking about using CMS Commander or Duplicator.

Also found some additional resources from Elegant Themes on how to manage multiple sites.

What are your thoughts on rapid website deployment/duplication/cloning? What tools do you use to avoid spending too much time on repetitive tasks?
