I designed this site as a subcontractor for another developer. The assignment was to create a new, updated design based on the original design, also shown below. The original design had title colors that were hard on the eyes and an out-dated frames layout. I stretched out and brightened the header photo from the original design, adding a text overlay to it. I then created an easy-to-maintain horizontal menu, eliminating the left menu. The new horizontal menu has a simulated drop-down menu on the internal pages. The last step was softening up the edges on the photo and the quick update was completed. This is an example of the type of improvement that can be made on just about any older site.
At the time I am writing this, the new site has not yet been implemented.
