I'm familar with creating custom node tpl pages (node-about.tpl.php) but is this possible with a view?

short version...
I created a view and would like to customize the "page view" of that view, is this possible? if so how do I go about creating this?

here's the long version of what I am doing...
using CCK's I built a content type called "Products" which allows the user to enter in their products
then using views I created a view that gathers all node type "products" and displays them as a "page view", now I would like to customize this "page view" and add a unique header/footer/side bar, etc...

do I just use the views export wizard and add my own php/html/css code to that? if so how do i tell drupal to load the files?

can anyone out there help?

i've read through this tutorial http://drupal.org/node/128741 but that still doesn't help (i was able to theme my view) BUT my main problem is I want the page to have a custom layout

example:

/****unique header here****/
---my content generated from the view here---
/****unique footer here****/

basically i want to add a custom header and footer message to my page view, how do i do this? everything i do leads me to customize what is LOOPED in the view, I want to add custom content OUTSIDE of the view loop, is this even possible?

ok, so sometimes what is right infront of our faces is so hard to see....

all i had to do was enter my html/php in the header/footer section of my page view :)

drupal seems to have a one-hundred and one ways to skin the cat
