This is messy. Frames come set up for "standard" sizes that have little or no relationship with modern camera sensor ratios. e.g. 5x7 inches.
When you make a print it may or may not include a border. In terms of ratio, the border is part of the print.
Suppose you want to print something 5"x 7"with a 1/2"border all around. That leaves 4"x 6" for the actual picture and so you'll need a 4x6 ratio for your crop.
Then again, if you don't want to see the border then you need the 5x7 ratio but if you don't frame it precisely right then you'll see a tiny border to show people that you misaligned it. In that case you'll need to print a little bit extra and perhaps change the ratio accordingly.
If your custom crops look wrong on the web then it is not your fault. Someone else must have cropped the image after you did.
If your friends have a problem with resizing then that is their fault but you can help them by knowing in advance how big they want to print and whether or not they want to see some white space around it. Then crop your images the correct shape and export it with the correct number or pixels or pixels per inch to suit the print. They might still mess it up if they choose to print it at a different size.
