Since you already have an existing site, you might be interested in a
program which takes a website and compiles it into a stand-alone .exe (no
viewers, browsers or installation required.) Obviously, it won't do
server-side processing, but you can use javascript. You can choose whether
to include a browser-style navigation bar or to handle all the navigation
yourself within the pages.

Of course, I can't remember what it was called, but I think it sold itself
as an "html compiler" so searching on that might find you something. It was
probably windows only as well...It was shareware so not too expensive.

HTH a bit!
