I am not sure about iFrames. I haven't really ventured into that section too much. My thinking lately to make my sites browser resolution OK. Mainly via css / js by resizing it based on their resolution. Not doing it the old way of just making it in 1024 x 768.

I will most likely be using an iFrame over the standard html based frame tags. Not 100% sure though. The SEO value of the vendor pages is not relevant though. I will look into what the major search engines will do but I do not need the clients banner + vendor site indexed together. I will post the final result. I guess maybe I jumped the gun on what I was implying I was going to use in the post. No the site will not have the traditional “I am Framed” look.
