I initially used Cutesite Builder to create it. Cutesite puts in a "no frames" version. I have tweaked the html in all the files of the site.
I have two questions:
1. I checked the site using Opera set to no frames and initially the site homepage appears- strange looking, but after clicking on one of the site links that do show, it kicks in to the proper "no frames" version. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and how to fix it?
2. Does having the alternate "no frames" version in my site slow it down very much? There are many images, including a slide show. If it does slow it down -- I don't really need the "no frames" version. Is there a way I can edit or eliminate it? ( I have tried to eliminate the images from within the frameset file, but they seemed to "come back". )
Thank you very much.

It sounds like you're struggling with built in "features" of Cutesite Builder. I haven't used it, but I can tell you that everythng you want to do can be done if you learn to work directly with your HTML. Although the fine points of HTML can take a long time to master, a beginner can still get good results with very little work. HTML was NOT created to be an esoteric, diffcult language - it's for everybody.
Now on to your questions:
1. I'm sure that Opera is only doing what your HTML is telling it to do. Try running the code through a validator. Since you have Opera, just press ctrl-alt-V and the page will automatically be sent to the most authoritative validator available - the W3C.
2. Yes, a noframes section does add some download time - but I'll bet it's not too much. We're just talking about some extra text here. You could copy/paste the noframes section out of the HTML and create a .txt file. The size of that file will give you a good idea about how much this section is adding.
Does CuteSite require you to create a framed site? If you check out posts on this forum, you'll read about many downfalls involved with frames. You might be better to ONLY have unframed pages!
Thank you very much for your help.
