Thank you all for the informative answers. I appreciate them. That makes sense actually, since Server-Side technologies are very good for the interactive sites that we run today. Though I have seen plain HTML files with .aspx extensions before. And speaking of MVC, does anyone here ever use the default view which uses .aspx to render? The razor view file extensions look funky to me; probably just me, but it seems that the razor view is like going back to classic ASP 3.0 or something from the 1990's the way it's described. I've not learned it yet, though it's on my list. What do you guys think? .

It's going really well so far. Instead of coming up with my own HTML5 design, I've decided to use Foundation3's, which has some really nice features in automatically adapting for mobile devices and tablets. Similarly to the Twitter bootstrap mentioned before, there's a NuGet Package to install all of Foundation3 pre-requisites into an MVC4 project: http://www.nuget.org/packages/Foundation3_MVC4 It includes a Master Page and a sample page. The only thing I've done myself is replaced the default MVC "View" scaffolding templates with my own based on Foundation3. But replacing these templates is something I'd normally do anyway.
