The best thing to do is not even use frames (I hate them, personally) and
use alt tags for images and test the pages in a lot of browsers.
Take a look at http://slashdot.org for a page that looks great, has
cool graphics, tables and all that, yet still works very well in lynx.
Keeping lynx compatibility is trivial.
Also, I am in the camp who would love to see an updated Debian home
page. Same emphasis on content, but with a more consistent look and
fell and some cooler graphics.
I would even be willing to help any one who want to go in on this endeavor.
