My question is, is creating a Master Page for the site a still best practice? If so I will update my Master Page and use new HTML5 elements. But if you (collective) think that Master Page is yesterday's approach, please let me know.

But I am discussing in the thread a static web site (product information) that - most likely - will not deal with database. Do you think that MVC would have advantage in this case?

I want to use HTML5 tags so that the site would be viewed better on non-IE browsers (like iPad). Also want to start using jQuery (I don't know what I can do to improve my site with jQuery but hopefully I will find things).
