I’ve recently had to create a website that needed complete flexibility in the layout of the components on the page. So basically I had to implement a solution that would give the marketing teams and CMS teams completely independent control of the layout of the website without input from the HTML team.

2. The individual page components
   • The components hold specific types of information and can have a variety of width for each component
