What is Reddit's opinion of Cargo?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Cargo usually has decent examples you can sort thru on their front page.

Personally I would just keep it clean and simple. Make sure your work is visible and well presented more than anything. I've spent too much time on my website in the past when in reality the work on their is more important than having a super slick website (unless you're a designer, agency or production company etc)

Are you a web designer? If not, my personal opinion is to not over think it. I use a clean and simple template from Cargo Collective. It's all about letting your work shine so don't overdo it with a complicated web design project.

If you are a web designer then it might make sense to design/program a website that reflects your abilities.

Thanks for the reply! You might be right, but I'm not sure. It seems like there are basically two types of sites you can build, a standard site ($99 per year or $13 per month) or one with commerce (an additional $66 per year or $9 per month): https://cargo.site/Rates. There is no mention of the lightning bolt logo. One should also be able to fully build the site before publishing it and only have to pay to make it public.

Also,

If I wanted to implement this code onto a website (I'm using cargo.site specifically)

would I need to find a way to host my files online (the .json, .js files) in order for my model to be displayed on the webpage?

As a recommendation, the novel Holy Fire by Bruce Sterling has many discussion on art, and focuses on artist communities and how they interact in a futuristic setting. There is an interesting conflict brought on by generational and cultural shifts that is played out in the art, punk culture and choices of the characters.

Others have noted... technology facilitates this communication; art is the cultural exchange between individuals (often of different perspectives, generations, planetary cultures, alien species...).

Maybe a cyberpunk hacker/artist creates a virus that makes advertising billboards display selections of impressionist paintings, or their own artistic work. The message is still "focus on beauty, not on buying", right?

Here is my favorite site for browsing interesting things... digital, artistic etc. Maybe something there will inspire you.

Cargo Selections...

Bon j’arrive après la bataille mais personne n’a cité Cargo ?

C’est juste LE CMS des artistes. Tout les artistes indépendants utilisent ça, t’as un vaste choix de thèmes très contemporains, en mode site de graphiste hipster vidéaste illustrateur etc…

Et je dis pas ça méchamment du tout. T’aura un site tendance dans ce milieu et c’est important que l’esthétique de ta vitrine colle à ce à quoi s’attendent tes clients. Tout ce qui a été cité avant c’est plutôt pour des e-shop classiques bien propret voir trop commercial.

Surtout que les prix restent abordable : 60€/ mois vitrine classique et 100€/ mois avec fonctions e-commerce (de mémoire)

Je te conseil vivement d’aller y jeter un œil : https://cargo.site

Cargo.site gives you the templates free in exchange for using their hosting service. So no, you could not. Look at themeforest and I'm sure you could find something similar to their templates.

Get a Portfolio up and running. Use the Behance Portfolio or something like Put your projects on the Web. (cargo.site) . Show people what you do, and if your work is good enough, people will notice.

Start internships at local design agencies, get some experience, make connections. Ask local agencies if they need freelancers, help someone out with a logo in your neighbourhood.

The first jobs will be shit and awkward but you need to get your foot into the door.

For this usecase I would go with a site builder, maybe like https://cargo.site/ . A lot of the built in templates are designed to highlight artwork and are quite simple generally.

I'm just seeing this message when I click the link:

>Once completed, this domain will automatically display your Cargo site. Should you require further assistance, please leave us a note.

I personally swear by cargo — they're fully geared towards designers and creative people, and they have endless templates/options to play with. Very reasonable price for a yearlong subscription, and their customer service is impeccable!

A lot of over desiged websites in there, but occasionally they'll be something nice and simple if you're just looking for references.

Personally I just built one on Wix and it took me all of 20mins. I've built my own websites from scratch trying to make them really nice. Frankly, it's a waste of time. I don't think it's all that important to have a particularly nice website. The important thing is that your work is good and the website is inoffensive. So yeah, just a white website with your name and contact info, a normal font, and info or samples about your best work.

The domain (guy-field.com) was originally registered and built with Small God I think. Then I made a new site using Cargo, and got the Small God support to delete my existing site and transfer the domain so it points to this new Cargo site, which is what you currently see when you visit guy-field.com

I still have the hosting with Small God, and my emails are accessed through the 'Control Panel' on their site.

I just had a look on ICANN.org, and it says the following:

> Name: GUY-FIELD.COM

> Registry Domain ID: 1704053699_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN

> Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited

> Nameservers: > NS1.SMALLGOD.NET > NS2.SMALLGOD.NET > NS3.SMALLGOD.NET

> Dates > Registry Expiration: 2020-02-25 21:08:31 UTC > Created: 2012-02-25 21:08:31 UTC

I use https://smallgod.net/index.php but they're not super big/great. Perhaps it's a larger issue related to their hosting service? I have an auto renewal coming up with them at the end of this month so be great to get this fixed before then. Could transferring my domain to a different host help?

The website is built using this platform. But I guess that's not so relevant.

Thanks again for your advice.

webflow! i really love it. it's a bit more advanced than wordpress or squarespace (AVOID squarespace unless you don't want to change the theme at all) but gives you a lot of flexibility. if you like web design and want to do more, the initial learning curve might be worth overcoming.

if you're a bit on the edgier side, cargo is excellent and is a WISIWYG editor.
