if you want stuff north & south of a uitableview you can either stick that stuff into the header & footer of the uitableview or you will have to put everything onto a uiview.
So either embed in another uiview or add to header & footer - but that you'll have to do through code.
If it's customizing your cells into special cells. then u can do it via XIB. With an UITableViewCell, and drag it in there, and use those cells instead of the standards.
If it's about the north/south part, check above posts 😛
