Favicon management update

Cargo now automatically generates a .ICO file at multiple sizes from any JPG, PNG or GIF you upload. This allows for higher-resolution screens to display a larger version.

Additionally, it is now possible to customize your favicons for different resolutions. For example, if you want to make two versions of your favicon: one at 16×16 (classic) and one at 32×32 (Retina), you can create separate designs for both versions, then combine the files into a single .ICO file.

New: Making new sites

As a Cargo member you can now run as many sites as you like, and making a new site is as simple as clicking the “New Site” button in the Site Manager (the black bar at the top of your Admin panel). New sites are automatically joined to your Cargo account and can be accessed through the Site Manager. Each new site runs on Cargo’s Free Basic Service and can be individually upgraded if so desired.

Now on Cargo: Personal Image Selections

Select images of your choice from any website for future reference. To select an image, simply click & drag it, then drop it in the Selections panel that appears on the right side of the page.

The work’s author will be notified of your selection (unless he/she opts to turn that notification off via Settings > Account Details).

New Personalized Homepage

If you follow other Cargo sites, you can now review recently added work on the new personalized Cargo homepage. Tip: use your arrow keys to navigate, press Enter to open a project.

Updated Following panel

We've made a new way to browse sites that members are following: clicking the Following icon in the top-right of the page (visible only to members that are logged in) will display a panel with a selection of the most recently updated sites.

Cargo Mobile

To further enhance the accessibility and legibility of your website on the smaller screens we now offer a mobile optimized design, available in light and dark variations and formatting your content specifically for iOS or Android devices. (Design customizations you've made to your site are not reflected in this mobile design.)

You can turn this feature on in your Settings > Display Options. We've also included an option to keep your original formatting on tablets (like iPad and Nexus 7).

Currently supported devices are iPhone, iPad and iPod running iOS5+, as well as Android handsets & tablets running OS versions 4+.

New design: Runyon


Runyon is a horizontally oriented design intended primarily for displaying large images and video. Media in the project content are separated so that text is displayed to the left of images and video, which can be browsed by horizontally scrolling the site.

Larger image sizes are adjusted to match the height of the browser window.

Thumbnails use a flexible image width and are displayed to the right of the project content.
