Use Powered by Cortlet when Cortlet provides underlying infrastructure or functionality.
Use Works with Cortlet when your product integrates or is compatible with Cortlet.

Technology section
Useful when explaining infrastructure or runtime dependencies.
Compatibility section
Useful when documenting supported integrations.
Keep context
Place the badge where readers can understand what relationship it represents.
Keep it secondary
The repository or project name should remain more prominent than the Cortlet badge.
Link appropriately
When clickable, point the badge to an official Cortlet page relevant to the integration.
Example 03 // Integrations
Show compatibility without implying endorsement.
Cortlet can appear in integration directories and technology lists when the relationship is accurate and clearly described.
Use Works with Cortlet for compatibility and integration listings.
Keep Cortlet visually consistent with other supported technologies.
Do not make Cortlet look like a sponsor, owner, or exclusive technology partner unless that relationship actually exists.
Supported technologies
Connect the tools you already use.
ACME works with several infrastructure and developer platforms. Each integration remains independently operated by its respective provider.
Cortlet
Realtime WebSocket infrastructure.
Neon
Postgres database connectivity.
Vercel

Choose by relationship
Works with
Best for compatibility, integrations, connectors, and supported technology lists.
Built with
Best when Cortlet is one of the technologies used to build the product.
Powered by
Best when Cortlet provides meaningful underlying functionality or infrastructure.
Equal treatment
Do not artificially make Cortlet much larger than other technologies in the same integration list.
Accurate relationship
The badge wording should match what Cortlet actually does for the product.
No endorsement
Compatibility alone does not mean Cortlet sponsors, certifies, or endorses the product.
Example 04 // Footer attribution
Keep attribution visible, but secondary.
Cortlet badges can be used in website footers, product footers, and attribution areas when the badge accurately describes the relationship.
Keep the badge smaller and less prominent than the product's own identity.
Give the badge enough clear space from navigation, copyright text, and other logos.
Use the badge wording that truthfully reflects the relationship with Cortlet.
Fictional developer platform
Infrastructure that stays out of your way.
ACME is a fictional example showing where Cortlet attribution can appear without overpowering the site's own identity.
Built with Cortlet
Good for product footers when Cortlet is part of how the product was built.
Powered by Cortlet
Good for infrastructure attribution when Cortlet provides underlying functionality.
Works with Cortlet
Good for integration or compatibility footers where Cortlet is one supported technology.
Secondary placement
The site or product identity should remain visually dominant.
Clear spacing
Keep enough space around the badge so it does not feel attached to unrelated footer elements.
Use the correct claim
Choose Built with, Powered by, or Works with based on the actual technical relationship.
Quick reference
Accurate first.
Attractive second.
Use the badge whose wording accurately describes the relationship with Cortlet.
Keep your own product or organization visually primary.
Do not stretch, recolor, rebuild, or materially modify official Cortlet badge artwork.
Keep enough clear space around badges so surrounding content does not make them feel crowded.
Badge usage does not imply Cortlet partnership, certification, sponsorship, or endorsement.
