Re: [dcphp-dev] Need help with PHP site

Tac, 

I wasn't trying to be rude or imply anything negative about you or your business practices. It just seemed like you're trying to reinvent the wheel when there wasn't any need for it. I'd recommend trying to get in touch with the previous company and see if you can get access to the back end. If they are cool enough to give him the credentials to log in then he might want to consider getting the help of a developer that's familiar with the care and feeding of a CMS system and see how much of a mess it is back there. If it's too much of a flustercluck then I might consider reverse engineering the site and using something like WP.

I agree that if the site can be accessed there may be no need to rebuild anything. But I don't imagine anyone is trying to do anything but be helpful. 

There is an admin login here: http://www.millenniumartssalon.org/admin/

Perhaps there is a CMS under it. 

The site appears to have been designed by http://www.microsol.biz/contact-us.php - but they don't have a phone number. They might have admin credentials.

If it helps, The whois record is here: http://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=millenniumartssalon.org

It appears to be a GoDaddy.com site. 

I think it would be best to search for the original developer to see if they have credentials.

You might be better off finding a Wordpress theme and re-creating the site in Wordpress.  Then it'd be fairly easy to update the site, or find people who can.  You can even do that without interacting with the old developers.  And frankly, you don't want to be tied to new developers either.

There's no reason that a site like yours should be custom-built, it's an ideal candidate for Wordpress.
