Bontrager Wheelworks & Components - www.bontrager.com - The Bontrager site is a glorified parts catalog that needed to be fully editable, totally flexible, multi-lingual, and easily managed. This simple direction helped me design and develop a modular site, driven by a content management system, that was built on a tableless XHTML structure and styled by CSS. Web standards at it's finest.
