 * Hello i’m a web developer and i’m having problems with a complex wordpress navigation
   i’m trying to do.
 * If you guys are familiar with [http://freelanceswitch.com/](http://freelanceswitch.com/)(
   a site that uses wordpress), id’d like to know how i can create a top navigation(
   that uses list_pages + blog link) with a small brief description under each link
   just as on freelanceswitch. I know freelanceswitch uses a static css menu with
   images. But i’m not looking for that.
 * I’d like to know how to add the brief description on every page, and i’d also
   like to know who can i call that descriptiono to the navigation bar / menu, with
   what tag etc.
 * I know PHOTOSHOP / XHTML / CSS and PHP.
    I also know wordpress very well but 
   i didn’t manage to find the thing i was looking for. Can you guys help? Please?:-

 * Well, you could try to find a theme that does that already and take it apart 
   to see how it works. Surely there’s a theme out there somewhere that does this.

 * I’ve been looking at doing the same when time permits. I’m thinking that defining
   a [custom field](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields) key (named ‘
   nav_description’ for example) and adding a value (your brief description) on 
   each page.
 * Then call the key after the link in the top navigation.
    `get_post_custom_values('
   nav_description')`
 * Or is there a way to use wp_list_pages to call custom field values?
