   You begin by adding a new webform to your project. Open the template within the same project.

   You will have to copy paste from the template into the web form. However there are things you need to keep in mind. The template is written in HTML. You’re web form might load some parts of the page dynamically. For example a text in the page might not be coded into the page. However, it might be loaded from a datasource, like a database.

   So your work goes in figuring out which parts of your page are dynamic and figuring out ways to display dynamic content instead of static text.

   For example, Instead of displaying 4 static “Other Links”, you will end up using a repeater control whose ItemTemplate has the same structure as one of the 4 static links.

   One more thing. You can replace Html controls with Asp.net controls. This will also help you in making your site dynamic.

   I know I sound vague, but thats how its done unless you are not insterested in making any parts of your page dynamic.

   You have to think of the template as something that helps you with the user interface of your page and nothing more. You will still have to code your application though.
