Setting up Sites and Pages 45
Master pages provide a flexible way to store background elements that you
would like to appear on more than one page—for example a logo, background,
header/footer, border design, or navigation bar. The key concept here is that a
particular master page is typically shared by multiple pages, as illustrated below.
By placing a design element on a master page and then assigning several pages
to use that master page, you ensure that all the pages incorporate that element.
Of course, each individual page can have its own elements.
The Studio's Site tab includes an upper Master Pages section containing your
master page(s), and a lower Site Structure in the Pages window containing your
standard pages. Each page shown in the window indicates the master page being
used for that page.
For more varied page designs across you site, you can create more than one
master page (see Adding, removing, and rearranging pages on p. 50). Once you
have multiple master pages, they can be attached to separate pages or in
combination on the same page.
