Thanks. Makes sense. We just had a conversation about this and thought that she'll probably start fresh with a new tool and bring only a few legacy designs into the new site That won’t be a tremendous amount of work. She can always link back to the old site created by iWeb for historical reference. So given we are starting fresh and don’t want to run into a similar problem 5 years down the line, we definitely will take a look at WordPress. BTW: does WP generate responsive sites?
