I think its more appropriate to say, don't use frames to cut corners. Or only use frames if essential. Quite unfair to say they are a lazy developer's tool anyway.

1. Never use frames, they are a lazy developer's tool, and they destroy your chances of getting decent search engine listings.

2. Make it easy to use, learn from the old boo.com... leading edge can be "bleeding" edge technology. Nobody wants to download a plugin for 15 minutes just to view your navigation bar which is based in Flash MX which only came out last month, dammit. Check out how simple this web site is. If your content is good enough, you don't need whizz-bang technology to tart it up. Just HTML and a database.

3. Look at the stuff that you like on the web, view the source code and learn from it, but don't do all-out copies of designs.
