Template Details
CareerCanvas is a Hugo theme developed by Felipe Cordero for personal portfolio use, with source code hosted on GitHub and released under the MIT license. The theme targets personal resumes and portfolio showcases, including portfolio gallery, blog, skills, experience timeline, and contact page modules, while supporting both English and French. Visually, it offers dark mode, Tailwind CSS styling, and configurable color schemes.
For usage, the README recommends adding the theme to a Hugo project's themes/careercanvas directory via Git submodule or clone, setting theme = "careercanvas" in the site configuration, and filling in [params] with name, tagline, avatar, social links, resume URL, and other information; the repository's example-config.toml provides a complete configuration example. Galleries can be inserted using the {{< gallery dir="images/your-gallery" >}} shortcode, and color customization is covered in COLOR_CUSTOMIZATION.md.
Regarding limitations, the README states that the most convenient way to run it is alongside the author's own portfolio repository felipecordero.github.io, which contains development server and production build scripts; the theme repository itself does not detail these scripts in the README. The licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately, as the code's MIT license does not cover them.

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
