Edit Home Page Without Loosing Navigation Bar

I am editing the webpage but when I try and turn on static front page, so that I can edit it, I lose the awesome site navigation bar at the top of the page. I have asked Powweb live chat, they are useless, I have checked the help and forums sections and nothing yet. Please let me know how to fix this. I want to edit my front page without losing the site nav bar across the top (note: when I turn on static front page the “navigation bar” at the top gets completely spread into individual buttons instead of having drop down menus. for example, instead of having the bar say “Home, Our Work, Contact, etc..” and when you highlight one having a dropdown menu from parent pages to supported pages, you end up having a huge list of buttons that include all pages but it looks like crap, so it will say “home, out work, construction, parks, outdoor, indoor, contact, office, home, office, fax, etc…” Please help
