I'm not entirely sure of a concrete alternative pattern MVC for the web. I like the style of independent modules that frameworks like web.py provide, but that's not a unified pattern. Pretty much all web design patterns are based on models and views, including MVC, HMVC, MVP, MVVM and so forth. Perhaps more of the latter two would be welcome, especially MVP. Decentralized modules can still be quite useful for small apps. I don't think the hassle of forcing rigorous design patterns is necessary there.
