Tables can accomplish the same look and interaction as frames, but are less cumbersome and confusing to implement.

Set up the same layout with table cells and rows (or even nested tables). Instead of creating a separate HTML file for each section of your page, you only need to create one that contains everything.

Use the same layout for each page in your site, so the navigation menu, logo/title area, and content area are the same on every page. This accomplishes the same look and interaction as a frame-based page.
