I have am working on a site for a friend who has very little web design knowledge. His old site is pretty basic and done up in some basic tables. He updated photos every week (with small text descriptions), and he can understand this basic layout.
I have done up a more complicated (nicer looking) design for him. I was considering putting the simple image gallery from his old page in an html file by itself, and having it open on the site in an iFrame. That way he could just edit that one page for his updates, and it would be familiar to him.
It's a small auction site though, and people generally find it when they are searching around for an item in the search engines. Will the search engines still find that text if it's set up the way I describe?
If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Unfortunately a CMS is not an option. Long story as to why, and it it was my choice it's what he would be using. But I can't do much about it.
Thanks
edit: I just noticed one other factor. His gallery is 4 pages linked to each other.
