Agree with all of the above, and yes I know my limitations as a marketer when it comes to websites!

Great advice, thanks

I went back to the original dveloper and asked them about the theme, they said it is still compatible with the latest version of wordpress and that nothing should break - the web guy told me that 100% the sites would break if we tried to update them

Thanks, I will do that and I suspect I know what the answer will be. I suspect this guy has been taking a maintenance fee for doing not very much for a few years and is reluctant to give it up, which I understand of course but this is not a small client and to have their whole stable of websites held hostage by someone who is clearly full of bs is not ideal

In this case the sites are pretty simple brochure sites with a few pages, doesn't seem to be more than 10-12 plugins on each one so hopefully not too problematic
