A good friend of mine here was part of a team that just launched the new website for the Bahá'í International Community. I've had the opportunity to see the website designs progress over the last few months. What I find of particular interest is the use of breadcrumbs before any sort of title at the top and the right-hand navigation tool. I really like how the breadcrumbs are the first thing you see in the top left, this design is divergent from the notion of putting the banner at the top of a web page, and yet I find that it works well to guide the user's navigational experience. The menu works beautifully since it's adaptable to their other pages as well.
For example, the media page has a collapsable version of the same menu on the top right, while still maintaining consistency with the network of sites. I'd say this is one of the best used versions of the Accordian UI design pattern I've seen.
