French term or phrase: site agence

terms 'Site agence' and 'site central' keep recurring throughout the manual.

agency site
Explanation:
Looking at the context, this is pretty clearly not about websites but about physical sites: the central site, presumably where the main office is, and the agency sites. "Agence" is more likely to be "agency" than "branch", although it may depend a little on the business.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Richard. You were right. This term was not at all (even remotely) related to the internet. What I presented in the question were the initial few occurences of the term.. and now... what I am translating is only about this website management program. Sorry about the mistake & Thank you for pointing it out. Much appreciated.
