Hi,

The first thing I'd ask is why they feel the frames are necessary. I agree
with you that it doesn't seem appropriate for this site (and on my screen
there is an ugly scrollbar on the left-hand frame which extends halfway
down the screen and then stops -- most disconcerting). If you find out why
they believe frames are necessary, you may be able to think of a way of
achieving what they require without frames.

PS Although it could use some tidying up, I find the original design
cleaner and more attractive -- even though it uses frames as well! The
graded background on the new one looks sludgy and rather old-fashioned.

HTH
