You can configure apache to automatically include a footer or header into every html page on the server, but you need to have root access.

How can I attach a footer to my documents without using SSI?
You can make arbitrary changes to static documents by configuring an Action which launches a CGI script. The CGI is then responsible for setting a content-type and delivering the requested document (the location of which is passed in the PATH_TRANSLATED environment variable), along with whatever footer is needed.

Busy sites may not want to run a CGI script on every request, and should consider using an Apache module to add the footer. There are several third party modules available through the Apache Module Registry which will add footers to documents. These include mod_trailer, PHP (php3_auto_append_file), mod_layout, and mod_perl (Apache::Sandwich).

You need to have control of the server to automate it. Do you have access?

You *cannot* avoid directly altering the page's code. Forcing frames is altering code (and is escapable).

One method I saw was using frames.

A banner would be displayed in a frame in the top or bottom part of the screen while the actual site loaded in another frame. This way, you don't have to alter anything of your customers'.

No idea about the details of how to go about doing that though.
