Genesis – Move the menus to the header so that they share the background image

Prototyping with Genesis and Dynamik – A Redisign
For some time already, I had been thinking about adding a static homepage to this website. In which case, a magazine like front page would be the most obvious choice, since Wilwebs.com is a blog.
