The First
I built BikeClubOsaka 1.0 myself, integrating my skills in HTML and CSS with my limited knowledge of PHP.  The site was never as clean as I wanted it to be, but the content was awesome and we received our first "Best of Japan on the Web" award from Japanzine magazine in 2006.

The Second
BikeClubOsaka 2.0 (pictured below) featured the same great content but was also built with a business model in mind.  Including content / page targeted banners, and a modularized interconnectivity tied to our tiered advertising packages. (for more info, check out the Ad Pack)

To achieve this functionality I selected a more powerful CMS. I  also outsourced  advanced programming work and database migration to a Tokyo-based programming team.  BikeClubOsaka 2.0 was launched in January 2007 and we again received the "Best of Japan on the Web" award for outstanding content.
