Using free online website templates with visual studio?

Hi I am developing a website with multiple pages. I am a beginner, coding is still a challenge for me, but my main hardship is designing my website. Visual studio is very not intuitive when it comes to designing websites, and sometimes you feel (when you try to design) like you work while tied in a straightjacket. I am used to dragging stuff around when designing, but this doesn't work with websites. There are a lot of website templates, but is there any which work with asp.net? And how do you integrate them while working in visual studio? Any help?

ASP.NET classic is not web - it's Web Forms. It looks like web, it feels like web, but it is not. It tries to deliver Windows Forms experience on web. That's the problem. On the other hand it supports dragging stuff around the gui. In ASP.NET Web Forms you have skins and themes[^]. If you choose any web page template that is not designed to be skin or template, you have a lot of work to make one from it.

On the other hand you might find suitable free themes and skins on the web.

On the other hand if you want to have full control over the html code, you can use Web Pages or MVC. Well it still won't be Dreamweaver. Let's be sincere: with WYSIWYG tools you don't really desing pages.
