NO Frames in Website Design

The number one reason not
to use frames is the search engines. Since 1996 we haven’t
had one client that has said, “Oh, I don’t
care if I am found in the search engines”. And
if you are trying to sell a product, then you need to
be found in the search engines!
The problem is search engines don’t go past the
first frame. So that center frame with all the content
in it goes unnoticed. When you’ve got 316,345 search
results under your specific keyword looking to be number
one, if you don’t do everything right, you will
never see the top or anywhere near the top.
If, by chance, you do get a page indexed in the search
engines, when you click on the link you will get only
the portion of the page that has the content. It won’t
have the full frameset. So the viewer won’t be
able to see the rest of your site!
In addition to the search engines, some browsers don’t
support frames, which usually means they focus on one
portion of the page. Also, frames cause older browsers
to crash. That assures you they will never come back
to your site.
You can create a non-framed version as well as a framed
version, but that means you have two sites to maintain.
