Configuring navigation widget in the Master Page

My site will eventually be managed by non-technical users, so I'd like to keep things as simple as possible. 

When creating a new page, rather requiring them to select the template, drag and drop the navigation, and specify the navigation template - is there a way to specify a navigation widget directly in the Master Page?

Ideally, they simply select the page template and the navigation is already configured and built in.

Is this possible?

Hi Chris,

When you create a page the default template that we set it "Right Sidebar, Header, Footer". So, you can modify this template and add your controls in it.

Thanks!
