Sharepoint 2013 site as virtual directory?

SharePoint2013

We have a number of client sites and would like to append a virtual path to each of them.

Example, appending a help site:
www.contoso.com/client1/help
www.contoso.com/client2/help
www.contoso.com/client3/help

We want to create a single Help site, and have each client site pull that site into the client site. We do not want to direct the clients away from their site, like www.contoso.com/help, because each site is branded, and we also do not want to create a Help site under each client because they will all be the same, and we do not want to have to update 50 sites if there is a change.

Is this possible? I know using iframes is kind of a solution, but not ideal.

I think what you need is an Application Page:

Quote:
An application page is an ASP.NET Web page that is designed for use in a SharePoint Web site. Application pages are a specialized type of ASP.NET page. The primary difference between an application page and a standard ASP.NET page is that an application page contains content that is merged with a SharePoint master page. A master page enables application pages to share the same appearance and behavior as other pages on a site.
