• Use ASP.NET Master Pages in Expression Web
  Dynamic Web Templates are capable of allowing you to apply a common look and feel to all the pages in your web site. Since Dynamic Web Templates are applied in the pages to which they are attached at design time, applying changes to all pages in a site can cause a delay while the html is updated in all the pages. If your server is running ASP.NET 2.0, there is a more dynamic alternative. ASP.NET Master Pages allow for similar functionality by defining editable areas in your template. However the application of the template to the custom content in the pages is done dynamically at runtime. This presentation demonstrates the use of ASP.NET Master Pages in Expression Web.
