C-Wrap
Sometimes called the 'wrapper' it is the part of the site that presents brand and top level navigation as well as development related tasks and actions. The current 2010 design has fairly large amount of screen real estate devoted to top navigation.

C-wrapper showing items in the c-wrap that are important to hightlight
There are a couple items in the wrapper that deserve attention.
- the logo
- the search
- account related links
The tricky part will be to highlight these areas while streamlining the other areas of the cwrapper
New C-wrapper idea (Yellow area is for the main content)
With this particular design all the c-wrap elements have been put at the top, items that are in the side nav now could be in a pull-down (not shown)
