Web Development - Frames

Have a GOOD Reason To Use Frames?

If you plan on using frames in your website, make sure you have a REAL good reason to do so. Only use frames if it really is the best navigational system available, and PLEASE create an alternate version of your website for those who do not use frames.

Why agonize about using frames? Frames can slow down slow computers. Frames use up system resources (even some in Win95!) Some browsers have problems viewing frame-based sites. And some people just hate frames.
