Sorry if it sounds harsh, but using frames to build modern websites is like designing a car to run off of a steam engine. Yes, it'll work, but there's a very good reason why the production of steam-powered cars was abandoned (it's very inefficient). Frames will technically work to make websites, but they have so many problems and require so many awful "hacks" just to make them work somewhat decently, that the practice of using them to make websites has been officially abandoned.
* Small amounts of iframes (they're different from frames) are acceptable when used sparingly. I've used small iframes to do Gmail-style AJAX file upload before.

I used frames for one reason and one reason only: That's what was in the W3C schools tutorial. I got a similar effect on the site now by adding the images to the top before the nav bar and using aligning and page percentages. I think it looks better now than it did before.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
