This is a custom built header that can be specified when you create a page. 

You will see that it has no menu.  You can turn the menu on or off, position it at top bottom or middle or even create your own menu (as you can see below.)

You can specify the width and colour of the columns, allow the use of a title and advertising and you can also set an image in the banner or even as a backgroud to the banner.

It is as flexible as your imagination.

I am just playing with graphic menu items as you can see below.  If you are interested let me know.  Cheers - Ian
