You need to draw out on paper what you want it to look like</p> <p>2. I recommend no more than 1000px wide for the bulk of users browse with 1024x768 - you may use a liquid design as larger monitors like 24&quot; 1920px are becoming more popular</p> <p>3. next select your website folder in the soutions explorer at the very top - right click and add new master page</p> <p>4. Now this takes time and trial and error to get exactly right, but design with div or tables, your layout exactly (use CSS for widths, floats and styling)</p> <p>5. When you have it Right decide where you want the content from each page to be displayed and add a asp:contentplaceholder to each section, name them something like &quot;Navigation&quot; and &quot;Content&quot; and &quot;Footer&quot; &quot;Sidebar&quot;</p> <p>6. Then when you create a new web form (aspx page) make sure masterpage check box is checked and select Masterpage.master then the new page will automatically display each contentplaceholder - </p> <p>7. When you set up your page you only place your code between the appropriate contentplaceholder start and end tags. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For a basic masterpage layout - I use 2 one for a homepage, one for a content page</p> <p>my Content and Homepage Masters are the same at top and bottom, but the content masterpage has a 3 column or 2 column layout 20% 60% 20% I use the left for navigation, center for content, left for relevant links and ads</p> <p>on the home page I have two column layout 40% 60% where I use divs to separate categories in the section in the 40% I usually have a large relevant pic for that section, and in the 60% I have feature divs with a headline and 2 or 3 links with a small pic to a category within that website section </p> <p>check out the major news websites like foxnews or cnn they have the 40 60 and 25 50 25 setup</p>http://forums.asp.net/thread/3273902.aspxFri, 03 Jul 2009 18:24:16 GMT4c671506-2930-414c-a40b-8bf57ded5924:3273902sva0008sva00080http://forums.asp.net/thread/3273902.aspxhttp://forums.asp.net/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=139&PostID=3273902<p>I m new ASP.net/Vb.net&nbsp; can some one help me with this please<br /> <br /> I want to create a master page with my company&#39;s logo and want to include that page in every other page .<br /> and i want to have an header in master page which should look something like .<br /> <br /> Orders&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notice&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Other&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; logout<br /> &nbsp;-Add/Edit&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - view&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -Search<br /> <br /> <br /> Regards</p>
