Here is the Master Page code. 
  1. <%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>  
  2.     <!DOCTYPE html>  
  3.     <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
  4.   
  5.     <head runat="server">  
  6.         <title></title>  
  7.         <link href="StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" />  
  8.         <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server"> </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>  
  9.     </head>  
  10.   
  11.     <body>  
  12.         <form id="form1" runat="server">  
  13.             <div id="con"> <span id="LgText">Laptop Booking </span>  
  14.                 <div id="menu">

Now, write the Home.aspx coding.

Here, in this code, I have used the marquee tag that's used to move the elements (image, text) up and down or left to right. As per your choice, you can move the elements.
  1. <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Home.aspx.cs" Inherits="Home" %>  
  2.     <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server"> </asp:Content>  
  3.     <asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">  
  4.         <div id="ImgSlide">  
  5.             <marquee bahevior="alternate">  
  6.                 <asp:Image ID="Image1" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/dd.jpg" runat="server" />  
  7.                 <asp:Image ID="Image2" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/download.jpg" runat="server" />  
  8.                 <asp:Image ID="Image3" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/la.jpg" runat="server" />  
  9.                 <asp:Image ID="Image4" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mob.jpg" runat="server" />  
  10.                 <asp:Image ID="Image5" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/lap.jpg" runat="server" />  
  11.                 <asp:Image ID="Image6" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mob.jpg" runat="server" />  
  12.                 <asp:Image ID="Image7" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mobi.jpg" runat="server" />  
  13.                 <asp:Image ID="Image8" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mob.jpg" runat="server" />  
  14.                 <asp:Image ID="Image9" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/lap.jpg" runat="server" />  
  15.                 <asp:Image ID="Image10" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mob.jpg" runat="server" />  
  16.                 <asp:Image ID="Image11" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/lap.jpg" runat="server" />  
  17.                 <asp:Image ID="Image12" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mobi.jpg" runat="server" />  
  18.                 <asp:Image ID="Image13" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/lap.jpg" runat="server" />  
  19.                 <asp:Image ID="Image14" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mob.jpg" runat="server" />  
  20.                 <asp:Image ID="Image15" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/download.jpg" runat="server" />  
  21.                 <asp:Image ID="Image16" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mob.jpg" runat="server" />  
  22.                 <asp:Image ID="Image17" Width="150" Height="150" ImageUrl="~/Image/mobi.jpg" runat="server" />

  27.     </asp:Content>

Now, in this section, we design the page layout. Some CSS modules are given below,
  • Selectors
  • Box Model
  • Backgrounds and Borders
  • Image Values and Replaced Content
  • 2D/3D Transformations
  • Multiple Column Layout
  • User Interface
  • Text Effects  
Here is the CSS file coding.
  1. body {  
  2.     background - image: url('Image/pink_solid_color_light_bright_65838_300x168.jpg');  
  3. }#con {  
  4.     margin: 2 % ;  
  5.     margin - left: 10 % ;  
  6.     width: 80 % ;  
  7.     height: 250 px;  
  8.     background - image: url('Image/images.jpg');  
  9. } * {  
  10.     margin: 0 px;  
  11.     padding: 0 px;  
  12. }#LgText {  
  13.     position: absolute;  
  14.     top: 5 % ;  
  15.     left: 11 % ;  
  16.     color: white;  
  17.     font - family: Arial;  
  18.     font - size: 30 pt;  
  19.     font - weight: bolder;  
  20. }#menu ul {  
  21.     list - style: none;  
  22. }#menu ul li {  
  23.     float: left;  
  24.     width: 120 px;  
  25. }#menu ul li a {  
  26.     text - decoration: none;  
  27.     color: white;  
  28.     font - family: Arial;  
  29.     font - size: 14 pt;  
  30. }#menu {  
  31.     position: absolute;  
  32.     top: 6 % ;  
  33.     right: 16 % ;  
  34. }#ImgSlide {  
  35.     position: absolute;  
  36.     top: 20 % ;  
  37.     left: 12 % ;
