It is interesting that for years we have been educated about the downside of using frames as the way of developing your website. Oddly enough this is still something that is being used quite frequently by some in the web community.
Barry Welford makes a good case against using this:
"It may be that some website owners think they would like a Framed website. To help them understand the gravity of their choice, perhaps it's time to promote a Framed Website Disclaimer. It would read as follows:
Framed Website Disclaimer
I have been informed that my website built in Frames will have some serious problems:
- It will not be found in search engine keyword searches.
- Visitors cannot bookmark individual web pages to return to their favourites.
- Printing web pages can be difficult.
Nevertheless I hereby authorize you to build the website in Frames.

"Only by insisting their customer sign this disclaimer can a professional web designer ensure there will be no disillusionment down the road."
In other words, pretty much every reason you would have for making a site is negated by the frames that are being used. I would get rid of it as soon as possible if that is the design you're using.
