Design Manager is one of the new feature introduced in SharePoint 2013. Using Design Manager, the Branding and Customization can be done very easily in SharePoint 2013. Design Manager only available on publishing site template and the other default templates does not have this feature. Design Manager has a lot of features. In this post I tried to give a broad idea about Design Manager by converting HTML file to Master page.
Before diving into design manager, First we need to create wireframe in HTML. The wireframe needs to contain HTML, CSS, images and other support files.
I have provided the sample files.
The following is a sample HTML wireframe source and structure.
Structure
Source
1) HTMLPage
<html> <head> <title>My Blogs</title> <link href="css/profile.css" rel="stylesheet" /> </head> <body> <div class="page_layout"> <div class="profilepicture"> <img class="imgsize" src="images/Profile.JPG" /> </div> <div class="blogtitle"> Create Master Page using design manager in SharePoint 2013 </div> <div class="pervioustitle"> <ul class="bloglist"> <li>Previous Blog one</li> <li>Previous Blog two</li> <li>Previous Blog three</li> <li>Previous Blog four</li> </ul> </div> <div class="blogcontent"> sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content sample bolg content <img src="images/DesignManager.JPG" /> </div> </div> </body> </html>
2) CSSbody { font-family: Calibri; width: 98%; } div { word-wrap: break-word; } .page_layout { padding: 10px 0px 0px 0px; } .profilepicture { float: left; width: 20%; height: 200px; position: fixed; } .imgsize { width:100%; height:100% } .blogtitle { width: 78%; float: right; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; color: #0000FF; text-decoration:underline; } .pervioustitle { width: 20%; padding: 200px 10px 0px 0px; float: left; position: fixed; } ul.bloglist { list-style-type: circle; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: #000066; } .blogcontent { float: right; width: 78%; padding: 20px 5px 0px 5px; top: 20px; }
HTML Page View
The following is a step by step procedure for creating master page using design manager.
Step 1:

Step 2:
Open the site then click design manager link from right top corner "Settings" menu.
Step 3:
Click the upload design files for “Map the following location as a network drive so you can work easily with your design files: “
Click the URL and it will provide the network path then map the network drive
If you face the following error.
Then add the “Desktop Experience” feature to your server using Server Manager.
Once the feature activated then maps the network drive.
Step 4:
Open the source drive (HTML Wireframe path) and copy all the supported files then paste to destination drive (mapped path).
Step 5:
Again open the design manger then click Edit Master Pages and click “Convert HTML file to SharePoint Master Page”
Step 6:

Automatically converted from HTML to SharePoint Master Page. The approval status is DRAFT.
Step 7:
