Michael I would advocate changing platform. Yes a redesign is what you want
to avoid but I think in a way its a good chance to give the website a face
lift.
I would advocate as well switching away from joomla to wordpress. Joomla
even the latest 3.3.x version I am running for a clients website is rather
complex and bit frustrating to use at times.
I could also code the website from scratch as well as make it responsive
for mobile devices using bootstrap etc. That really depends on how often
the content changes. If it does not change that often I would go for
something hand coded. If things change rather often I would go wordpress. I
have quite a vast know how of wordpress. The biggest question is where to
host it. I like sourceforge but in the past i have read of too many
different issues and termination of services like the forums etc to want to
keep it there.
