[Typo3] How to implement static menu?

[Martin Wan]

Hi all,

I am facing to build a static menu like the below:

START              (level 1)
CUMMUNITY          (level 1)
    FORUM              (level 2)
    PRIVATE            (level 2)
FACTS              (level 1)
    NEWS               (level 2)
    BASICS             (level 2)
    TEST               (level 2)
The view of the menu "START" is the home page view.
The other level-1 menus have no links and views.
All level-2 menus have themselves views.

And the menu tree is static not dynamic. Only when user clicks a sub-menu,
the sub-menu should show different background picture.

I suppose this menu just need to create in html template, but how to link
these sub-menus to the pages created by typo3? Should I create the website
hierarchy in typo3 and record every page id, then add links in the html
template? Or are there any other ways to implement this feature through
typo3?

Could anyone please give me some hints? Thank you!

Thanks,

Martin Wan
