The important point here is "how to properly use frames." If you end up
with a home page inside of another frame, that's just shitty design. The
girl who runs our company's site has one of those, too. She should be
fired!
To use frames just so you can say, "Look how cool my site is. It has
frames!" is wrong. When used well, sometimes you don't even know they're
there. There are good uses of frames, and bad (just like "The Force" --
heh, heh)
