If you load Pier-Jetsam-Environment from pieraddons, you will find a
choice of frame components. When you choose the frame for your pier
application, you could choose the "ContentWithStyle" based frames.

This frame gives you 1 html layout according to ContentWithStyle

http://www.contentwithstyle.co.uk/content/a-css-framework/

This one layout is flexible enough to give 7 different standard web page
configurations, just by choosing different css selections.
You can choose the css selection in the settings of any page. Add your
additional css to your application library, to set the logo's etc.
