Back in the days of "classic" ASP pages, the usual model at the shop I worked in was that whenever we needed to add a page to the site we would copy a working page and then modify it. Sure it duplicated a lot of common code, but it wasn't without its advantages. You could be pretty certain that your page would not break anything else, and that later changes to a page would also be self-contained. It did suck when a change needed to be made to many pages, but if you knew about cygwin and grep, sed, and awk, those could often be automated.
