title: ASP.Net MVC dynamically switching Views
body: <p>I have an ASP.Net MVC 4 application where the user can choose a theme or a design of for their hosted one-page site (within this application). At first, I thought to do this with the built-in Areas but due to some application restrictions I've decided not to use that method. The way I thought to do it (which so far works) is to send the user to the index action of the controller, there find out which theme they have chosen and then return the appropriate view. this way I don't have the action name on the url which is nice since the url needs to be simple like: <code>abc.com/cb/websiteID</code>. btw, every theme/design has one view in the folder. </p>
  
  <p>For some reason this method does not sit well with me and I think there should be a better way of doing this. Is there a downfall to this? Is this method a bad practice? is there a better way?</p>
  
  <p>If I've left out a detail, please let me know and I'll do my best to address it.</p>
