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
