Andreas, 1) The short answer is that Radiant can do whatever you like visually; it doesn't restrict you! So feel free to design your pages in whatever tool you want, then break them into logical parts (focusing on structure and reuse), then import them into Radiant. There are a lot of different strategies to implementing your pages in Radiant, but that would be a book-length topic! The typical practice is to have layouts that describe the overall structure of pages, with various Radius tags to include pieces of the rendered page; pages that have the actual content in multiple parts; and snippets that are frequently reused pieces of HTML or Radius tags.
2) Look for information on the <r:navigation> tag on the wiki, weblog, and in the source code. While it's kind of inflexible (I'm working on a patch for that issue), it does the job well enough in most cases. 3) The only "best practice" I can cite is to use standards-based HTML/CSS (which nowadays means using lists for navigation menus), but that goes for any website.

Hello Radiants (is that the correct title?), i want to build a website for a client with Radiant. I started with the third install option of Radiant - the full featured blog layout of Radiant. However this site should be a 'classic' website, not a blog, so i want to include a navigation bar on the left side. My - annoying (?) newbie questions - are: 1.) Is it possible with Radiant to have a left side bar, too (together with the existing right side bar of the blog layout)? 2.) Can i use this new sidebar as a navigation bar or exists other Radiant specific constructs for this purpose? 3.) Are there other 'best practice' to follow or has anybody hints to consider for this task (building a simple navigation bar in Radiant)? Thanks in advance for some help!
