Hi,
No need for derived backends.
You could just add both the title bar and the navigation bar in the HTML
preamble to each page, and position the different parts as needed with
CSS.
If you're using Org's publishing function, define a :html-preamble in
org-publish-project-alist.
Yours,
Christian

Can do that.

This is where I don't know what exactly is going to happen. Org writes
quite a bit of CSS in each exported HTML file. If I add in, say, a
vertical navigation bar, how am I going to control its placement with
respect to everything else that is already in the CSS?
I can start my trial and error -period...
Thanks!

If you put the following line in your Org file, then the exported HTML
will use only your CSS.
#+HTML_HEAD: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

Say you put the navbar at the end of the HTML preamble and give it a
#navbar id (<div id="navbar">). Org already gives the main content a
#content id. Then this should be all the CSS you need to get started:
#navbar { float: left;
...loads more CSS here...
}
#content { float: left;
...and more CSS here...
}
Yours,
Christian

Yes indeed, something like this seems to work.
For anyone embarking on a similar trip, a tight placement of the
horizontal title bar on top of the page requires, among other things,
something along the following lines in your CSS:
body
{
margin: 0;
}
All the best,
Jarmo

You can use the preamble and postamble features for this.
You'd have to edit the navigation bar manually, though.
Example preamble (file: html/preamble.html):
--- snip ---
<!-- I'm the html/preamble.html file -->
<p class="alignleft"><a href="index.html">Home</a></p>
<p class="alignright"><a href="imprint.html">Imprint</a></p>
</div> <!-- force closing of org-supplied preamble-div -->
<div class="colmask leftmenu">
<div class="colleft"><!-- = outer nested divs -->
<div class="col1wrap">
<div class="col1">
<!-- Column 1 start = main content -->
<!-- h1 class="title">%t</h1 -->
<div id="apreambletoclose"> <!-- fool preamble for the one
closed above -->
--- snip ---
Example postamble file:
<!-- I'm the html/postamble.html file -->
</div> <!-- closing the postamble div I can't use, here -->
<!-- Column 1 end -->
</div><!-- / #col1 -->
</div> <!-- / #col1wrap -->
<div class="col2">
<!-- Column 2 start = left/running sidebar -->
<p><strong>Contents</strong></p>
<ul class="navmain">
<li><a href="index.html">main page</a></li>
<li class="nolink"><strong>Heading</strong></li>
<li><a href="impressum.html">imprint</a></li>
</ul> -->
<!-- Column 2 end -->
</div><!-- / #col2 -->
<!-- end outer nested divs -->
</div><!-- / #colleft -->
</div><!-- / #colmask -->
<div class="footer">
<p>© 2012–2015 Robert Klein</p>
</div>
<div id="apostambletoclose"> <!-- fool postamble for the one closed
above -->
--- snip ---
Preamble and postamble functiond in .emacs:
--- snip ---
;; pre- and postamble for html export
(defun my-preamble (options)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents "~/projects/myprj/html/preamble.html")
(buffer-string)))
(defun xyzzys-postamble (options)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents "~/projects/myprj/html/postamble.html")
(buffer-string)))
--- snip ---
project-alist excerpt(in .emacs, too):
--- snip ---
(add-to-list 'org-publish-project-alist
'("myprj-html"
:base-directory "~/projects/myprj"
:base-extension "org"
:publishing-directory "~/public_html/myprj"
:publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html
:html-head "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"
href=\"css/myprj.css\" />" :html-head-include-default-style nil
:html-head-include-scripts nil
:html-preamble my-preamble
:html-postamble my-postamble
--- snip ---
A lot depends on the CSS. I'm dumping one here, not a very good one...

Yes it does, but it is impossible for me to tell which parts of these
files are really necessary to achieve the desired result. But I will
start experimenting.

This solves a problem that has been bugging me for some time. All I need
to do is use the preamble to solve my problem. Why didn't I think of
that sooner?

FWIW, this seems like a perfect place to use flexboxes, where the actual
location of the elements in the document matters a bit less...

A quick search on flexboxes looks promising indeed. I guess it would be
possible to open a flexbox div in preamble and close it in
postamble. Or maybe I can make the body of the page a flexbox in the
CSS?

Yep, it's all doable from CSS alone. So long as the elements you want to
align are siblings (and can be uniquely selected) that's all you need.

I don't know if I can answer your questions, but I used to do something
similar to what you want using Org and CSS. I had a navigation list at
the top and a fixed table of contents. There are some disadvantages to
this setup and I no longer use it.
I still have some pages up which use this setup. You can see these pages
by clicking on the following link:
http://srandby.org/ictcm-2014/index.html
To get the navigation list, I had the following at the top of the Org
file before any headlines (two items are not used in the above page):
#+BEGIN_HTML
<!-- Begin navigation list -->
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="./home.html" title="Home page">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="./lessons.html" title="Lessons">Lessons</a></li>
<li><a href="./help.html" title="Help">Help</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- End navigation list -->
#+END_HTML
In the CSS file for the page, I had the following code to style the list:
/* Navigation List Styles Begin */
div #nav {
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
top: 5em;
}
#nav ul {
margin: 3px 10px 10px 5px;
list-style: none outside none;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
#nav ul li {
margin-right: 4px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
}
#nav a {
color: white;
background-color: navy;
padding: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
border: 5px solid blue;
border-radius: 10px;
}
/* Navigation List Styles End */
It is easy to place the table of contents generated by Org wherever you
want it using CSS. Here is to CSS code I used to style the table of
contents. This code is sloppy.
#table-of-contents {
font-size: small;
position: fixed;
right: 1em;
top: 0.5em;
background-image: url(./styleimages/toc-back.jpg);
border-radius: 10px;
height: 5em;
max-height: 15%;
width: 18em;
overflow: auto;
z-index: 1;
border: 5px solid seagreen;
}
#table-of-contents h2 {
font-size: medium;
color: springgreen;
font-style: oblique;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 15px;*/
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom: 0px solid silver;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
#table-of-contents ul {
color: aqua;
list-style-type: disc;
float: none;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
#table-of-contents li {
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
#table-of-contents a {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
}
#table-of-contents #text-table-of-contents {
display: block;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

I don't know about other ways, but a derived backend /can/ be really
simple -- you might as well use the "derived backend" feature to modify
just the page template. You'd probably have to look at the
`org-html-template' function and write your version of it.
