I can't tell you how many times I had to look at old code and went "WTF was this supposed to do? And WTF was I thinking when I wrote this POS?" There's no good reason not to make life easier for yourself from the start. You wind up wasting more time in the long run if you don't at least try to do it right the first time.
This is huge. My homepage now has about 5 main pages, maybe 50 user controls, and several .css themes; I have two choices-- organize or fail horribly every single day. Even though I'm solo, I have become my own project manager. I'll look at old code and start muttering to myself: "You f@#$-ing dumbass. That's what happens when you add css styles in codebehind. I hope you don't mind giving up the last two hours of your life dumbass! You could have been playing LOL or banging the wife, but no-- you had to get all tricky, and didn't even bother to comment it in the main markup."
