Yes indeed, that’s very much true and so if you’re already using or considering using frames in your website, you might want to start rethinking your decision after you’ve read our article.
What are Frames?
Basically, the use of frames in a website is a technique preferred by web designers and developers who are just starting to understand and practice their chosen craft. The use of frames is possibly one of simplest techniques as well that’s available to them if they want their websites to look and feel just as good than any other website designed by their more elevated peers. When you use frames in your website, you usually link one to three html pages together to form one main page and all these pages are also usually under one main URL only. One or two of these frames may remain constant or unmoving while the other frame/s may change from time to time. We’ll tell you why in the proceeding paragraphs. There are two primary purposes as to why some web designers tend to use frames in their websites. The first would be for easy navigation. As mentioned earlier, one or two frames could remain fixed or permanently available on the screen. This frame could contain the list of primary links of the website, therefore making navigation easier for the reader or viewer. Secondly, it could be because they want their websites to look as professional as possible. The fixed frames, in this case, could not only contain a list of links for the website but also the logo of the company, for example, and therefore achieving a uniform look for the website. One very obvious sign of a website being designed by a newbie is when you have to download the same graphics over and over just so that each page would look the same. With frames however, the need to do so is immediately negated. Why Not Use Frames Then?
This is mainly because as we’ve pointed out in the title, frames can be described as the bane of search engine optimization. The main point in search engine optimization is to increase awareness of your website. But what happens to that goal when some people are using older versions of browsers and that are unable to read frames properly? And then there are the search engine spiders. These virtual detectives may not either view your pages properly (failing eyesight and older versions, you know) or process the information correctly. If you want to maximize search engine optimization results for your company, do try to stay away from frames |
