Corporate Web sites that have been broken into multiple subwebs and contain many layers of Web pages can easily get complex, creating the need for a way of navigating the whole site easily. Frames provide a design team with one option for making complex business Web sites easier to navigate, while adding graphic interest and interactivity. Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 enables you to easily divide a single Web page into two or more frames, each of which has its own URL. By dividing Web pages into frames, you can display multiple Web pages within a single Web page.

Frames are ideal for many business applications. Some frames are static ” with content (such as your company s logo or a banner ad) that remains on screen as long as the viewer is on your site. Others are dynamic ” their content changes when the viewer clicks on links contained in other frames. This chapter examines the various ways in which FrontPage makes frames easy to arrange and organize ”which, in turn , makes your Web sites more usable.
