## Achieving consistent design with master pages

Master pages make it easy to create a series of pages in your site with a consistent design. Any items you define on the master page will automatically appear on any pages that use that master page.

For example, you might create a master page to define a standard header:

Any pages based on this master page will automatically include the header:

You can define any number of master pages in your document to allow you to have several different standard page formats in your site, and you can choose which master page each page is based on.

When you create a new page it will initially be a copy of the master page it is based on, but you can then modify any of the items or add new items as required.

If you modify one of the items on the master page, the change will be reflected on all pages that use that master page, unless you have modified that item on the page.
