# Re-create site using WordPress

 * I am a WordPress newbie. My goal is to re-create our current website using WordPress.
   The website is: [http://www.happytogetherpreschool.com](http://www.happytogetherpreschool.com).
   It’s a pretty straight forward site, and I will be adding some additional functions
   like a blog, some video clips, and a picture gallery. My first challenge: I’ve
   looked through the forums and FAQs, and I didn’t see a way to duplicate the wavy
   green lines we use throughout the site (including behind our horizontal menu).
   Obviously, no existing theme will offer this. How do I go about re-creating this
   in WordPress?
 * Thanks for the help!

 * The horizontal menu would be out as an unordered list – you’d need to ensure 
   the height of the ul element is as tall as the thickest part of the line. You
   would then use a graphic of the green line for the background of the ul element.
 * Set the anchors in the list items that make up the menu to have no background
   specified, then on hover and for the current page, specify a background of a 
   tiled 50% transparent white .png graphic – this will overlay the green line to
   give the pale green colour.
 * You will probably be able to use an existing theme as a starting point, but with
   a bit of customisation you’d be able to keep (and in some areas improve on) the
   existing design.
