Hello Everyone

I work for The Tax Club and I have a question I beleieve this is the right place for me to ask:

We want to tanscribe some of our active content pages from PHP to CFML.
My question is how simple is that? Because if that is difficult we will not start on this project.

Any Suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

All the Best,

The Tax Club

    It's not usually hard but it does require work.

    Experience shows that it is better to:
    1. Review the existing site, noting what works and what doesn't.
    2. Generate PAPER proto types (quick and simple) of what needs to be added or changed.
    3. Have a competent developer RECREATE the site (not strictly transcribe) -- working from the review and the desired outcome, not mainly the PHP code.
    4. Be sure to insist on:

      1. Tiered architecture (logic separated from display).
      2. Styling (CSS) fully separated from content.
      3. Each page fully validates per W3C standards.

    MikerRoo offers good advice for medium to large Web sites. Since you didn't indicate the number of pages at your site, you might relax his recommendations if you have fewer than 20 pages. Looking at your site, http://www.thetaxclub.com/, I'd guess you have more than 20 pages, but just thought I'd add to the discussion.
