Templates for Dashboard or Admin Interface?

I guess we all use the same things every time again, again and again like:

• Login Page (user, pass, remember, multilang?)
• Userdashboard with proper Header/Footer and Profile on right top, User picture, Generic Userdata like: Name, Lastname, Street, Postcode, City, etc etc., Logout button, Language Switcher and user Navigation.

I checked some of the project examples but I‘m struggling with proper layouting, Header, Footer and these positions. Is there some Dashboard sample? I mean how to really setup properly :

header.inc.php
Sections and Titles
Columns and Rows
footer.inc.php

Of course every setup is individual, but I guess there are some best practices we could follow
