RE: Site Layout

[Judy Miller]

I can tell you about my experiences with frames. Just from the standpoint of

search engines, they do have their problems. I have read up on a lot of

information of how to get around it with the no frames tag so that search

engines will have no problem finding the sites, but I find irregardless,

there can still be problems.

I love using frames from the ease of navigation standpoint, especially on a

large site because I will use a very narrow horizontal main topic frame and

then a vertical sub topic or article frame, but I am starting to believe

that alternate methods could be just as functional with careful planning.

I find myself planning on redoing a lot of sites with tables for navigation

instead of frames and as David said plan on the load movie for my next Flash

revision. From what I can gather, load movie is a powerful addition to

Flash, not only allowing the look of frames, but the ability to be very

creative with the site layout.
