If you want to build a single-page app, you might also consider options like AngularJS <http://angularjs.org> (supported by Google) and batman.js<http://batmanjs.org>(by Shopify). They move templating to the client, so your server just delivers the initial "page" (i.e., the whole app, including JS templates) and then takes Ajax requests and returns JSON rather than HTML.
