It is true that Kirby is often referred to as a CMS for small websites. But that is a misunderstanding, I think. Maybe more than words, use cases speak another language.

Two of the big sites I know of:

[http://nimbus-lighting.com](http://nimbus-lighting.com) (@bastianallgeier)  
[https://www.joyent.com](https://www.joyent.com)

Some others, that are more than just small portfolio sites

> **[Luzerner Sinfonieorchester](https://www.sinfonieorchester.ch/de)**
>
> Luzerner Sinfonieorchester – Ode an die Freude. 2017/18 212. Saison

  

> **[Kinder- und Jugendbuchverlage A-Z](http://www.kinder-jugendbuch-verlage.de/de)**
>
> Kinder- und Jugendbuchverlage A-Z. Das Online-Verzeichnis deutschsprachiger Kinder- und Jugendbuchverlage.

And I think, there are many more examples out there, sometimes hard to find, because they are not advertised due to non-disclosure agreements.

Also, Kirby allows you to integrate other services, maybe this use case is an interesting example of using Kirby together with other technologies: [http://made.ginetta.net/siroop-jobs.html](http://made.ginetta.net/siroop-jobs.html).

Check out this thread as well: [Is it possible to "grow out of" a Kirby CMS?](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/is-it-possible-to-grow-out-of-a-kirby-cms/5509/4)

I hope, this helps as a starting point.
