[solved] Creating your own navigation

Hey everyone, new here! And new to CMSMS.

I'm a designer who builds sites in CSS, HTML and a bit of PHP. I'd really like to use a CMS whereby I can hand sites over to clients, and feel this may be the answer has had a lot of trouble using others.

What I'd like to know is how can I modify the navigation bar so it looks like the one I've designed? Mine is horizontal, uses rollover images, and some drop down elements as well.

Really appreciate any advice, sorry if its in the wrong section!

What is unclear in the documentation about the designer role ?

I've read the user documentation for the design but I'm not finding it very clear I'm afraid. I'm more of a visual 'step by step' person, and I have seen the video which helped me thus far, but I can't see how I can take the menu I have already made and put it in CMSMS. Bare in mind I have only been using CMSMS for about 4 hours.

Menus' content is automatically filled by page hierarchy. Then you can tweak the {menu ... } tag call in the templates.
Have you played with the sample content ? at least to do what you have seen in the video tutorials ?
