So, what I'd like to do is keep the overall 'feel' and color scheme of our site, but 'disable' (or make it not show at all) from the header to the navbar.

Therefore, it allows me to keep my header/logo (or put a custom one if I choose) and then the 'main' area with the three different launch points that I wanted to use for the body of the new page.

Is this possible with this hack/mod?

Yes you can do what you want. After the installation, create a new parent webtemplate which is exact copy of one of the defaults (eg. Default Basic Theme), than edit it and remove sections you don't need (eg. $navbar). If you don't want header or footer as well, you can remove them too or create new webtemplate headers/footers with your changes and use that one in your splash page.

However when you told "a new domain that I'm starting", I hope that forum is also under that same domain. Obviously you can't have forum in domain A and splash page in domain B. Webtemplates will be in the same domain your forum is installed.
