Depends on who you ask. That is an easy way to handle headers and footers in a simple site, but it violates MVC principles, so if you are looking for a cleanly separated View, you shouldn't go that route.
I generally don't bother with MVC for quick and dirty apps or mini-sites, but I use a framework for anything that I plan to maintain and possibly scale long-term. It doesn't even matter which framework, really, I just want something that separates the different elements of my app. I like Fusebox 3 with a cfc layer for the model, but it is always tempting in FB3 to pollute the fbx_switch file with stuff that doesn't belong there. > I usually assemble my pages with a cfinclude header, menu, footer, etc. > > But I figured it might be better to include the header.cfm in > onRequestStart, and footer.cfm in onRequestEnd to keep from spreading > includes all over the place. > > This way they'd all be in one spot.
