If they are contemplating a redesign, tell them this is a good time to 

dump frames. Otherwise, the reality is you'll probably have to work 

within the existing site, making tweaks and possible use of doorway 

pages. But if they are really keen on doing well at search engines, then 

I'd come down heavily that the frames need to go.


By the way, thanks to those who mentioned my site. If you want a 

page particularly on the topic of search engines and frames, see

cheers,
