I'm not clear on the definition of "skinnable website". To me, skinnable implies that the look (template) can be changed on a per-user basis. By skinnable, do you just mean to be able to change the look, say if the HTML developers want to change the look of the site as a whole? If the latter, and you can't use some system like mod_perl, HTML::Mason, or Java Beans, then you might just want to use server-side includes, like 
<--#include virtual="/section/header.html"-->

content here

<--#include virtual="/section/footer.html"-->
