[consulting] Do you get a lot of D5 to D6 porting projects?

[Brian Vuyk]

Depends how you define 'porting'.

I haven't had any clients who want their existing site moved to D6, and 
retain a resemblance to the original site. Most 'porting' jobs consisted 
of stripping the site down to the bare essential content, upgrading, and 
performing a massive redesign / rethink / restructure.

I think this is due that for many of my clients, in the year or two 
since their sites were initially built in D5, they've had time to 
evaluate what works for them, and what doesn't. We are hitting a point 
where many of them are naturally ready to revise their sites. A port to 
D6 is just a logical step as part of that process.
