The Patterns and Practices group have just finished and shipped the Web Client Software Factory. If you haven't looked into software factories before this is a great place to get started, and even if you don't use it in your daily work just studying it will be a great experience.
This software factory make good use of several design pattern. Among the more interesting to be aware of are the View-Presenter and the Service Locator. If nothing else learning these will improve your software design skills
And they have incorporated Windows Workflow Foundation as a possible engine for page navigation. Just take a look at the PageFlow or the PageFlowWithShoppingCart samples to see how it is done.
One negative note though, this Software Factory only generates C#
Enjoy!
