Any Web designers here? (2 Viewers)

Monday morning bump. Even if you're not interested I do have some questions for those in the field.

My daughter has taken a few classes on web design and has designed a few sites already.  She is going to college next year studying Web and database design... If you want to fire off some questions I can ask her today when she gets home. :)

What does that website do?

Who originally designed it?  Can't you find them?

Just provides useful links, information, protocol for people about the genetic condition. They are not happy with the original designers. I don't know the whole background but I may be joining the board as treasurer so I said Id help.

If you have access to the files it's extremely easy to just update the content.

Extremely easy for who? None of us are webs designers. They want to change the whole design of the website (add dropdowns, change color scheme, etc.) not just change content.

 
OK the domain was originally purchased on register.com. They want to move to new site. Not sure who designed the site (perhaps they used register.com) but its still the original design and thus not mobile friendly.

 
domain purchase and hosting are 2 different tings. I suggest having them move to a Word Press server for the new site. If you build the site on a WP platform, it makes it sure simple for the organization to update it and change content. Plus it has a huge selection of pre-built plug-ins for functions like calendars, chatting, and other functions.

Thanks, I know they are separate things. I am going to suggest they move to Dreamhost or bluehost. They should do that before the redesign?

my bad...IDK if is needed. I think you do run the risk of messing something up on the site, but I would suggest setting up the new server as the "Testing" server and then when you flip the switch on the new site, the old one and its hosting just gets turned off. But I would want @Keerock to add his expertise from the dev side

 
Since I drug glvsav37 and Keerock in here I should be willing to volunteer - shady - let me know if you need someone to help proofread or if there's something else I could help with.  I work in IT but my skills are not web design or graphics.

One thing I do work with is data.  If they have data they want analyzed (say something like donor demographics) I could help with that if it would be helpful.

Agreed WP is the way to go.  Would need a host that supports... I'm sure register.com does if it's hosted there.  But the idea to build out a new site on a different host is a good one so it can be tested while the current one stays up... then just flip the DNS switch when ready to cut over.

Can they keep domain name?

 
If you feel comfortable submitting me a quote at your convenience please PM me. I do not want to make anyone do anything they don't feel comfortable doing. I also plan on getting a quote from the person who designed my adoption website.

 
Do you every get this site redesigned?  Curious to check it out.  If you don't feel comfortable posting it here, I'd love a PM.  

Context: I moonlight as a web developer, but never saw this cross my feed back in March.  Simply curious as to what the site looks like.
