Frames
Home -- Building -- HTML Programming -- Frames
Frames are one the most misunderstood concepts for beginning HTML programmers. The concept of frames is that you are taking 3 HTML pages and combining them into one. For example, one page could be your navgation bar, on the side of the page. Page 2 would be a bar on the top of the page, let's say for a logo. Finally, page 3 would be the body text of your page. You then combine these pages into one HTML page. The advantage to doing is this is you can create different body text pages and never have to worry about your navigation bar or title bar again.
If this is confusing that's OK. The main reason for this article is to look at frames from a marketing perspective. Many sites that are created from "cookie cutter" programs use frames. These sites are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to the search engines, because the search engines cannot find any body text on a page with frames. Almost all pages with frames will rank poorly in search engines.
If you have a website with frames I would strongly suggest changing it. Otherwise you will struggle in the search engines. To read more about frames click here.
