The main idea is to generate an output as a webpage accessible by browser that isolates the sql server from the user.  I don't want to rebuild the server and restore the data.

We still generate static web pages like the one shown.  We still use the sql report builder, customized front ends and crystal  reports.

And we use php, html, xml, asp and/or vbs with iis or apache for dynamic web pages.

Glad you enjoyed the article.
