The people who did the Ruby on Rails (http://www.rubyonrails.com/) site 
did a very professional job. It's an open-source project that actually 
looks professional and aesthetically pleasing without being glossy, 
which is a rare combination.

I believe the Rails site is powered by a combination of static pages 
(the front page, download page, etc.), an Instiki wiki (for the 
documentation), WordPress (the blog) and Trac (bug tracker, etc.).
