In the past frames was about the only way to "easily" modularly build a
page, server-side scripting and databases were rare and expensive.

*That was then this is now*

PHP is so ubiquitous now and quick to learn that there really is not
reason to use frames. It can look as nice or better (because your insert
do not have to be strict rectangular 'zones'). It is far easier to
manage. Google "how to insert one webpage into another" and you will be
blessed with tutorials, examples and templates...
