This page will tell you what tools were used to create this site, why the home page has two versions, how it evolved, etc.
Frames are a bad idea anyway, here's why .
Javascript is used only to provide an additional line of text in the status bar, and Java on the events page to provide a calendar from a free external site. To avoid having the counter increment every time a visitor would link back to the home page from elsewhere on the site, I copied most of that page to indx.htm and linked all other pages to it. The average visitor probably doesn't notice, it speeds loading, and we get a more accurate count. There used to be a sound file that played when the page loaded, but it slowed page loading too much. I also linked to a service which provides a local weather conditions on an image icon.
