I use a template view file which holds the entire design, css and so one.
In that file I have variables like $title, $header, $meta, $content footer and many more.
On the end of each method I load that viewfile and parse the variables. To make sure I got all of them, I use a helper function to preload the all the variables and fill them with initial values/content.
Now I can parse anything I need to the template by filling the variables with for instance another view.
