Just to remove any possible doubt: FrontPage must die.

But if you want that expressed in less confrontational, more
customer-friendly words, how about this:

They need to engage the services of an expensive consultant or two, who will
bill them lots of hours working out an approach which may involve migrating
to a technology with better long-term prospects, or simply stitching
together a Frankenhack or two to eke a bit more life out of their existing
system, until it finally collapses altogether.

Either way, they need to spend the folding stuff, and lots of it. Asking for
help on a forum where people are more liable to throw brainpower rather
than money at problems, is a waste of time.
