You can define descriptions and keywords as properties on each content file.
In you template, you can then insert them into the <head> part of your 
HTML by using the <cms:property> tag to read those values set to your 
content pages.

You can run multiple websites in one OpenCms installation. Take a look 
at the Alkacon documentation modules which are delivered with OpenCms. 
One of them (Multisite-HowTo) tells all the required steps, how to run 
multiple sites with one OpenCms.

Or check the OpenCms Wiki:
