Frames are 'bricks' a page consists of. A frame takes a rectangular area on your site page. There are different types of frames each one providing specific functionality: Rich Text (WYSIWYG editor), E-commerce Item List, E-commerce Category List, Membership Login Panel, Membership Member List, and many more.

Frames make formatting pages simple!
Instead of struggling to align text and images on a page -- use Frames to give each paragraph or section of information it's own space. This way your information remains grouped and will remain readable when viewing your site from different browsers and computers.

| • | Place many different types of content on one page |
| • | Place controls like a "shopping cart" or a "contact form" on the same page as images and text |
| • | Copy and duplicate frames to other pages to avoid double entry |
