comment Bandwidth heavy site… use co-location?
Ah, I presumed the bandwidth heavy pieces would be media you could put on a CDN, sounds like I presumed wrong. Though if you have dynamic chunks that get processed in a predictable way (a finite set of possible data "chunks") you could still put all that into a CDN. I'll stop trying to guess about your app now. :-)

Fixed the BBB link to point at the new location. (Shame on BBB for not implementing a proper redirect!)

comment Legal standing for a copyright notice placed by prior web developer? (long backstory)
Thanks for the thoughts, I hope your analysis is the more correct one, though the lack of a contract or a clear verbal agreement about intellectual property issues leaves it all very vague and messy.

I'll add, the "verbal contract" likely did not encompass intellectual property issues in any way.

Sans contract, it really is a mess. I am going to share with The Client the issues and leave it for them to decide how to handle it going forward. Worst case, I can redesign the site with a few search and replaces and it'll look drastically different. Thanks for the analysis.

Hell Bobby Jack, if you're going to go to the trouble to refer to something and in doing so insult both this site and my question, you might as well include a link! :-) I went looking and found: uxexchange.com/questions/44/45

But that requires content management system-managed pages, right? The question is specifically about editing a static website.

comment Allowing customers to edit static website via WYSIWYG
How is the page included on your website? It seems like this would necessarily be JavaScript or an iframe, which makes the search engine and accessibility implications of this pretty bad. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though.

comment How to change CSS in a child theme?
I think it's possible that it did work, but the CSS you changed did not work as you expected. I would do something more drastic, perhaps add border: 10px solid #f00; as well, and see if that has an impact.
