What to look for
Study how each portfolio balances an expressive canvas with a usable project index. Cargo evidence does not tell us which template, custom code or commerce features a site uses.
How this collection is verified
Each example combines Cargo generator metadata, loaded Cargo assets or site-specific Cargo configuration. An outbound link to Cargo or a mention in an article is not sufficient. Evidence expires after 90 days or a change to the website link. Screenshots may show an earlier design.
