This site was designed with Drupal 6 and used some pretty basic modules. In addition to the core modules some of the front-end modules used were Views, Date, CCK, PathAuto, Menu Breadcrumb, Search 404, Menu Block. Some of the back-end/admin modules used were Admin menu(FTW! I love This), Vertical Tabs, Menu Settings Per Content Type, TinyTinyMCE, IMCE, Draggable Views, Image API, Image Crop, Better Formats. For enhanced SEO/tracking we used XML Sitemaps, Sitemaps, Google Analytics.
Some of the notable features are the Event Calendar, just a standard Views Calendar, and the Front page slideshow. To achieve the front page slide show I used what has become my favorite way of implementing this in an easy to use manner for the end user. Combining CCK(Image API, Image Crop, and Filefield), Views(Draggable Views, Draggable Views CCK support), and the jCycle plugin for jQuery we are able to give the client an easy to use slide show creator.
Overall it's not a big flashy site. Just a simple easy to use and well designed site, built with the best CMS/Framework/Platform out there. Drupal.
