File New Page, select the Frames Tab and save it as your required home page file name (say index.htm)

You create a frameset page and name that your index page. Be very sure that
you want to use frames however because they have their own issues that may
not be useful for you. Most importantly, search engines don't play nicely
with a site with frames because they will index all your pages and when
displayed through the search engine, the page itself will come up and it
will be outside the frameset. This can leave users stranded because they may
not have any navigation tools to get around your site because the navigation
links may be a seperate page in the frameset. Try playing with shared
borders first to see if you can get the effect you desire and then, if not,
use frames as a last resort.

Hope this helps,

I'd agree with the above comments. I wrote my website using frames and
it causes search engine problems - they can see the home page and the
three pages that were loaded into the three frames. But it couldn't see
or read anything past that.

It took me hours of rewriting/editing to remove them from my site.

A search engine will follow all link leading from any of the pages loaded in the frameset, however
users coming from the link in the search, will load the page outside of the frameset.
