Master pages are an important part of any ASP.NET website. In a nutshell, a master page allows the page developer to define a website template, indicating what portions of the template are to remain fixed across pages that use the template and what regions of the template are customizable on a page-by-page basis. Having the site design and layout centralized in one (or more) master pages makes it easy to add new pages to the site that inherit the same look and feel and greatly simplifies changing the site design or adding or removing content that is common to all pages, such as content in the element, footers, and references to CSS and JavaScript files.
