Hello Kalena, I don’t know if you remember me or not from last year, but I’m a graduate of Search Engine College and I’ve now launched my own SEO business, though it’s going very slow, just out of the gate.  Great potential in my small town within Colorado USA, but still trying to gain momentum being a new business. Anyway, here’s my dilemma and subsequent question. Recently when talking with a potential client, he informed me that he wanted to give one my business cards to his wife.  He said she would definitely contact me regarding her own website which is in need of SEO.   He was right, she did contact me and I met with her for an initial visit to discuss matters.  I’m not quite sure how to break it to her that she might be better just scrapping her site and starting over! On her site I’ve found aspx, iframes, javascript, tables, nested tables, php, hidden items as well as excessive and duplicate code bloat on every single page, which I think is due to a .dll pulling from another site for her search field feature!  Please help, because her husband is the executive director of another company in our town who could be a potential huge client for me. I don’t want to offend her and be the recipient of a trickle effect for lost work. I typically don’t divulge my clients or the issues involved, but this case requires professional input and therefore I must provide you the info: http://www.clientsite.com [Actual URL hidden for privacy reasons].  My suggestion would be to design a new, optimized site using WordPress and then use a robot.txt file for her Products page and only have the search field on that page since she has over 800 products, am I right?  How would you handle this client tactfully and would you use the same remedy?
