I’m planning a site redesign in order to take advantage of CSS and XHTML. My existing site uses frames, is heavy on graphics - and the architecture combines several different enterprises along with some more personal pages. At this point I’m looking for some general ideas about approaching the redesign:

ie: whether to split off the personal aspect of the site, to split off the various enterprises (illustration portfolio, web design portfolio, fine craftwork sales site and an online coloring book) and if so, along what lines. If I split things off would I still want a portal page to tie things together?

I’m also looking for feedback about how to showcase both CSS skills and Flash skills; I want to take advantage of both, and am wondering what people think are the best roles for each of these tools. Where is CSS best used? What are the best uses for Flash? Is it feasible to use Flash in the context of a CSS design?

At the same time, I really hate to get rid of Frames. They are easy and useful for creating a thumbnail menu to display larger image files. Does anyone have suggestions for equally easy and useful alternatives for displaying portfolio images?
