Hi Rich,

I have exactly the same problem with a client and his site was also built back in 2002. I host his site and each year when I send him his bill I suggest a redesign but he is not interested. This is a website soon to be seven years old and I now find it a bit embarrassing but he seems to still be happy with it. He is a small town solicitor and when you Google "solicitor townname" he is still number one so he is quite happy.

A year or two ago I actually thought about offering to upgrade the website for nothing but he can clearly afford to pay for it and it goes against the grain.

I also thought about trying to convince him by pointing out deficiencies in browsers other than IE but the site still displays OK in them too. You may want to try looking at your client's site in Firefox, etc. and if there are any problems there point these out to him. You can say that these browsers came along after his site was developed so any problems are not your doing.
