The Institute for Near Eastern Archaeology and Biblical Studies
MOBA, or the Museum Of Biblical Archaeology (as it once was called) is one of the most innovative sites I have dealt with in a long time. An ASP.NET site, it features graphics by Bethany Rutter, Flash by Chris Mack, and an amazing array of really old artifacts. Oldest new stuff on the Web. Design considerations include a comprehensive collection browser, virtual tour and a really cool design.
CORSA, through TMCI.Net
The CORSA web at www.corsa.org is a straightforward client-maintained web that primarily offers secure content control and communication to members. It features dynamic navigation, and a FrontPage friendly design.
Highlights for Children, through Paros Business Partners
In a twist of fate, POINT ended up contracting to architect and help build a Data Transformation Services solution for the telesales department at Highlights for Children. This unique problem involved a fault-tolerant application that moved data from a mainframe system to a SQL 2000 system, through a DOS system, and back again. Complete reporting and notification was required as part of the project. To many hands in this pot to mention here, but I'll tell you that the design document is 145 pages long.
Brian Killigrew
BrianKilligrew.com is one of the most interesting and fun sites I have built in a while. Client designed and hosted, the problems were primarily design related, not programming. It is on a very basic UNIX server with no SSI and limited Perl, so only VERY simple CGI could be used. Fortunately the content speaks for itself.

My role in this project was twofold – first, as a business-modeling specialist and second, as a Internet Application Designer. Working in a homogeneous Microsoft environment, Bill made heavy use of his knowledge of VBScript, JavaScript, ADO, RDS and MTS to bring this project to its successful conclusion. There were several code reviews on this project on many different portions of the code by experienced Banking personnel.
