Microsoft SharePoint uses a concept called
Master Pages to assist in consistency of design.
ASP.NET 2.0 introduced the concept known as
Master Pages, in which you create a common base master file that
provides a consistent layout for multiple pages in your
application. To create a Master Page, you identify common
appearance and behavior factors for the pages in your
application, and move those to a master page. In the master
page, you add placeholders called ContentPlaceHolders
where the content (child) pages will insert their custom
content. When users request the content pages, ASP.NET merges
the output of the content pages with the output of the master
page, resulting in a page that combines the master page layout
with the output of the content page.
We wanted a quick solution to give customers
options beyond the typical SharePoint look. On a whim, we
decided to see what it would take to implement a common site
template into a SharePoint master page that you might find on
the web. We found a great site with reasonably priced
templates that are well designed. It took only a few hours
to transform the template into a SharePoint Master Page
Template.
Bottom line - This is a SharePoint Site
designed by us based on a template from www.metamorphozis.com.
The cost of starting with a template is very reasonable, the
downside is someone else may have a similar look.
We feel that with little modification, we can
help you create your own look based on a well designed template.
