Grid systems and master pages allow designers to create consistency across multi-page documents by applying the same grid layout throughout. Templates provide benefits like consistency in design, simplifying workload, and guiding the design process, while also enabling sharing with other designers. Templates can also simplify the website design process, improve the user experience, and make sites easier to interact with.

Module 3: Understanding the Purpose of a Template
Designers using a grid system will want to develop the grid at
the beginning so the same grid can be applied throughout
the design document creating consistency. In a multipage
document, often more than one grid system is used for
different pages in the same publication. In this case, master
pages should be used to develop each grid so the grids can
be applied as needed throughout the layout.
