Reworking old websites

I am currently reworking an old website for HPP, Helping-SF.  This website is meant for low-income families and case managers.  In it's current form, the website is very disorganized both in terms of content and also in terms of pages and locations.  There are numerous broken links, orphaned pages and older versions housed within numerous local locations.  Although I have some experience with dreamweaver, I have never moved an existing site to a new location.  I am not sure if it would be better to work with the existing local files and reorganize that way or whether I should migrate the site to a local folder and start fresh.  Any suggestions? 

ALSO, I cannot log into the CTC Vista Project site from my computer in the office, but I can from other computers in the office.  I was able to when I first started, but I have not been able to since.   Any suggestions on how I can change that?  This is the reason for my posting lack in the last couple of weeks.

i would suggest, you start with an analysis of the current site and make lists of it's plus points and minus points. then talk with others in the organization and make lists of must-haves, like-to-haves.

site migration should be easy enough - it is usually just copying the files to the new location. i would strongly recommend that you divide the project into parts so it is easier to handle and don't forget to save a copy of all the old files (just in case to a cd). i've waded thru a couple of site migrations and i'd be happy to help; let me know via email or phone.

Good-Luck!
