Framing is good for websites serving specific purposes like texts, table of contents, etc. that need direct links to find the details of each topic. You need frames if you have hundreds of links in one pages and want to save time for sites construction design because a website designer just design only 1 static page. However, framing is a bad design for commercial websites serving audiences from all over the world as visitors usually get frustated from being locked up in frames when trying to link to other web sites.

Statistics show well the popularity of framing has dropped dramatically over the past 5 years and only 3% of web sites these days still use frames. Unfortunately, we found that many website developers still use frame to develop customers sites. It saves the construction and maintenance time on the developers side but it yields an adverse effect for visitors to the sites. @ Lumpini, we do not use frames.

Some and almost many web designers advertise their works by embedding links to their website on their customers sites (web designed by ... ). It is a bad idea to think that the customers have to pay for the development cost to a website developer but the developer takes advantage of free advertisement on the sites they developed in order to get more customers without prior permission from the website owner. This is a common phenomena found anywhere on websites not developed by internal team.

@ Lumpini, we are professional with our expertise and use our own effort to find new customers. We never take advantage of our customers by embedding shameful links to our web site.
