If you continue to use frames you will need to create a separate frameset
page with different content in the main frame area. Other members of this
group will no doubt be along shortly to advise you with a number of reasons
why using frames is a bad idea.

I would recommend using an alternative, such as server-side scripting. I use
php which is extremely simple once you get the hang of a few basic commands.
For example, this site http://www.jacomputers.co.uk/ has a header, footer
and menu which stay the same, and the end of the url designates which page
is to be loaded into the main area, as in this example
http://www.jacomputers.co.uk/index.php?id=design

There are many free resources on the Internet which can help you with
learning php.
