Prosite vs cargo


When it comes to Portfolio CMS there cargocollective  and  Behance  prosite  let me put is this way
-          Prosite  If you  are zero in HTML and CSS go with Prosite but Having no access to css to html  means limitation that’s what I find hard to deal  with
-          Cargocollective If you know  css html go with cargo collective if you face problems you can ask for support from cargo support team for
Cargo collective  is a winner ( personal  opinion ) 

Why a i go with cargo
1.    Access  to Css html
2.    cargo feel and look
3.    there themes specially space collective theme  

sorry I would write my English is like weak

ProSite Scott Belsky -Hi all – just wanted to chime in with a few thoughts from our team at Behance (and Tina – thank you for the post!).
We built ProSite in response to a few serious needs we observed among creative professionals, namely (1) the need for a very professional and customizable website that DOESN’T require any HTML/CSS knowledge, and (2) a more productive way to manage an online presence that is now about much more than an isolated online portfolio on your own domain.
There was no other service online that sufficiently addressed these needs.
To address need #1, we developed a way to control thousands of little design details that would normally require programming knowledge using simple sliders and a new drag-and-drop interface that we are very excited about.
To address need #2, we created ProSite to stay in sync with projects published on Behance.net – which also powers creative portfolio display on LinkedIn, AdWeek, AIGA, galleries like TypographyServed.com, and soon many more sites around the web. It was tricky, but we devised ways to help users vary styles and project design on their ProSites while adhering to the Behance project-publishing/cms tool that has been evolving since 2006.
We want ProSite to boost productivity, the likelihood of portfolios staying updated, and ensure that your work gets more exposure (and serves to generate more traffic to your portfolio).
We also think that spending tons of time maintaining a personal portfolio that is only seen by people you know and is not “connected” to the rest of the web is inefficient.
We’ve been testing ProSite for months with a few thousand early Behance members. The feedback has been very encouraging and we hope you’ll take a look under the hood! http://prosite.com
As I read through the comments, I recognize that those with advanced programming knowledge may prefer to create their own site or play with the CSS through other alternatives like Cargo Collective. And yes, there are certainly cheaper and more “templated” options out there. No doubt, ProSite is intended for an audience that wants something different.

Cargo is a web publishing system meant for creative professionals,” explains Folkert Gorter, co-founder of Cargo, and an interaction designer originally from Holland. “You can say it’s a CMS, as well as a system that provides web site templates that are starting points for designers to create their own web site. It’s mainly used by people who have a lot of visual content to publish, like designers, photographers, architects, stuff like that, though it’s transitioning more and more toward more textual as well. If you think about it, WordPress is mostly text-oriented publishing, and say, something like Tumblr is a lot more visual, like pictures. Cargo is sort of in between those, where we are truly multimedia: we put a lot of emphasis on the combination of text and image.”
Cargo isn’t a CMS for everyone—but those with eye-popping content and some knowledge of CSS can create sites that look better than almost everything else on the web. Amid their stylish design and sophisticated programming, Gorter and co-founder Josh Pangell have discovered some tricks to making HTML look fantastic. “‘Float left’, the CSS rule, is like our biggest thing,” says Gorter. “We float everything left, and it becomes liquid instantly,” adapting to whatever size screen it’s on.
How does Cargo set itself apart from a web dominated by big guns like WordPress? “L-O-V-E,” says Gorter. “We make no compromises. We have design skill, and we have programming skill, and we don’t f-ck around. We really design it in the best way possible and we don’t compromise.”
