Experience
I chose to work with and evaluate Cargo, because it looked like it was more fun and experimental than other hosted website builders. Their template options were like a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed that they offered both blank and populated template options, as well as real examples of people customizing specific templates to their own tastes. Now, there was a little bit of a learning curve when it came to navigating the editor, but they have an awesome help panel that quickly answers any questions you have. Cargo is definitely a fun option in the world of hosted website builders!

Final Thoughts
Overall I had a blast building a site in Cargo, but I do think that it's better suited for more experimental and personal sites. To see more details about my experience and evaluation, check out the PDF below!
