Neither ASP.NET 1.1
nor WSS V2 supported a satisfying approach for creating page templates. In
ASP.NET, that typically forced developers to create common layouts with User
Controls. In WSS V2, it resulted in lots of copying-and-pasting HTML across
.ASPX page definition files.

ASP.NET 2.0
introduced a very welcome page templating technique with Master Pages. A
master page provides a common page layout across content pages. In addition
to defining common page elements, a master page defines named placeholders
that all each content page to fill in its own custom content.

WSS V3 embraces the
master page infrastructure of ASP.NE 2.0. All the built-in site templates
that ship with WSS V3 employ a master page and content pages. By editing the
master page, you can quickly change the layout and branding of all the site
pages within a WSS site.
