    Looking for 'html5' anything won't get you very far because it's used as an umbrella term for a load of different standards, services & libraries by folks that know nothing about HTML5.

    basic shapes and colours: 'CSS3'
    advanced shapes and colours: 'canvas' (2d)
    3d: 'webGL' (or 3d canvas)
    vectors: 'SVG'
    manipulation of html via javascript: 'DOM' (document object model)
    loading data with javascript without refreshing: 'ajax'
    etc.

    Or a specific js library (eg 'jQuery') as that's what you'll be using to add more complex interactivity to your DOM elements.

    TBH you're probably just better asking for 'complex navigation' because almost every decent site written in the last few years is going to be HTML5 and probably visually-conceptually on a par with Flash sites from 10 years ago anyway.
