When you press Ctrl+F5, then IIS don't understand what to serve as you don't have any Default aspx file in your site , i recommend you to add a aspx file by going to Add>NewItem>Webform> Note: remember to check the box at bottom right , "select from master page" after selecting , save all the pages and just open your default.aspx file and you will surely see the reflected design as you did in master page.

Master pages are not aspx file but serve as a template for other webpages , so you cant just open master page.
