As others told you, you can use a header and footer
to standardize layout.

   The header would define the top and left part of your
   site (i.e. your first table column); the
   bottom your right part of the site (i.e. the third table
   column) and the bottom part.
   The content between header and footer would define
   the center of the page (i.e. your second table column).

If this does not provide enough flexibility, you
can look into ZClasses.

   The page specific content would go into properties
   or content items of the ZInstances.
   The ZClass' "index_html" would combine all these
   elements into the final page.
