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.
