One of these two is happening right now. Either you are trying to deceive me :annoyed: or you are being taken for a ride by the guys who look after your backoffice because of what you are saying above. I understand the whole process of building and running a website. Been doing it for more than 4 yrs now.
Migration is not that hard. You can build an alternate modern platform. Do alpha testing in your office for two weeks. All this while, your old backoffice is untouched and is running as it was at the same old address. Get some of your clients to do beta testing for two more weeks. In this time you can fix any bugs that you come across. Now, you have a solid, secure, functional backoffice. But it is not yet available to the public. All you have to do to migrate to this new backoffice is change your DNS/nameservers to point to the new backoffice. This requires a brief downtime(max 2 hrs) which can be done late at night.
That is how I migrate my projects when I am updating them :thumb: (every couple of years).
layout design - code - test - optimize - test - client prototype test
I am not trying to give you a tough time. I am just sharing my gripe with you. In fact, I want your brokerage firm to do well and succeed. For that you will have to innovate. :!
Bingo! That is exactly how I feel.

We have not tried to deceive anyone till now and have no reason to do it now either.
With due respect, backoffice is not just a website and building it involves complexities. It is the ERP (Peoplesoft or SAP) of the broking industry. Nevertheless, we are committed to continuously improving our services and will definitely work on this too.
We understand your feedback in the form of constructive criticism and we always welcome feedback from all our clients.
