How to Compress Websites Into iFrame
If you want to direct your website visitor to an outside site but do not want him to leave your page, you can compress the desired website into an inline frame, or iframe. The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) iframe tag enables you to determine the size of the website as it appears on your page, and it retains the site's functionality so a viewer still has the ability to perform actions such a making a purchase. Launch your computer's text editor software and add the code that enables you to create iframes.
