You should avoid designing your website using frames (also known as framesets). There are a very few instances where frames can be used, but the reasons for doing so don't usually apply to the audiences we are most often trying to reach.

Why you Shouldn't use Frames
Because some websites have 100's or even 1000's of pages, frames can appear very useful... However there are a couple of ways around it.
1. Including the files using a programming language.
E.g:
HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php include("header.php"); ?>
Content Area
<?php include("footer.php"); ?>
</body>
</html>
Here are some tutorials:

2. Including the files using Server Side Includes (SSI).
E.g:
HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<!--#include file = "header.asp" -->
Content Area
<!--#include file = "footer.asp" -->
</body>
</html>
