4. Switch to the Design tab, right-click the green template header and click Edit layout in the menu.
5. Copy the HTML code from the static page into the layout.
6. Insert web part zone tags whereever you want to display dynamic content, such as editable regions, menus, news, etc.
7. Click Save & Close.
8. Add web parts with the required content into the web part zones.
9. Remember to place one Page placeholder web part onto the master page template, so you can nest sub-pages.

You're done. Now you can continue by creating sub-pages.
