5 Examples of Beautiful Resume/CV Web Templates

on Jan 27th 2010 with 124 comments

Did you know that we recently launched a new sub-category on ThemeForest, specifically for resumes/CVs optimized for the web? It’s becoming more and more common for potential employers to simply request a link to your website, rather than a sheet of paper. Though the category only launched a few weeks ago, we’ve already received a handful of beautiful designs.

1. Clean CV / Resume Html Template + 4 Bonuses

    These are great. I would have to say my favorite would have to be the first one.

    • http://www.ryanvanhooydonk.nl Ryan van Hooydonk

      Agreed.

      Though the others are still pretty nice.

    • http://spotdex.com/ David Moreen

      Strongly agreed. I think #4 is a little over done to add.

      Then by all means – submit a better one! :)

    • http://www.seowisedesigns.com Yheng

      Yeah feel generic, but the point is – the simple the better. They look more professional and appealing to me.

  • http://thx2madre.tistory.com Irene

    I’m always interested to see web design CV’s and portfolios, whether they are templates or real designers sites. The five offered here show quite a range of layout options and styles.

    ‘Smart CV’ certainly stands out to me as the most modern and boldest layout covered. I particularly like the usage of headings with the large fonts and contrasting colours. Using black blue and pink is quite a mix, but is used to good effect here.

    It would be nice to see some tutorials on CV and portfolio design, maybe covering the key points to include, some additional features and how to go about this. Designers are constantly updating their online branding and portfolios, so maybe covering how to perfect a portfolio would be useful.

    • http://tutsvalley.com Slobodan Kustrimovic

      I agree about the tutorial on CV and portfolio design.

      Jeffrey start writing :)

      • http://wplimits.com Nathan Barry

        That would be a great tutorial.

    Pure Awesome!

    smart cv in good practice

  • http://tutsvalley.com Slobodan Kustrimovic

    I like “Clean CV / Resume Html Template + 4 Bonuses” the most. They’re all great but that one is clean and organized and it’s simply perfect for a resume.

    Thanks for the roundup :)

  • http://abuaisyah.org/ romadhoni

  • http://benj3.com Benje

    The first one is my favorite out of them all, but they are all great.

  • http://stvproductions.net S.T. Verschoof

  • http://www.jeffadams.co.uk Jeff Adams

    My one didn’t make this list: http://themeforest.net/item/see-vee-online-resumecv/82111

    The first one is the best, mine is very basic in comparison!!

  • rob

  • http://www.aldrinponce.com/ aldrin

    looks good, for online portfolio site

  • http://www.theossi.com Felipe Theossi

    Great,
    Thanks for references!!!

  • http://www.justinmcgonigle.com Justin

    What this doesn’t mention is that no matter how good your portfolio site is, there are a thousand other candidates with just as good portfolios vying for the same position. Do yourself a favor, make a decent portfolio site and focus more of your attention to the skill of taking a lot of rejection and picking yourself up by the bootstraps and continuing on in spite of it all. I’m trying not to be a downer about this but this is the reality of the situation; we can’t all be Dan Cederholm or Cameron Moll.

  • Diego

    Excelente idea!!!

    Voy a diseñar la mia. =)

  • http://swy.me Stephen Way

    http://swy.me/resume

    Got me a job within 2 weeks just for having it online!

  • http://www.fisherv.com icecream冰淇淋

    i need choose one.

  • Umair

    That’s a great article. I’d like to see such templates for paper resume as well. These are so perfect!!

  • Gal

    When did people start putting their pictures on a resume? I thought that was taboo!

  • http://www.drdiv.com DrDiv

    This is good, but do you really think you want to share all this information on your website? Wouldn’t it be a better idea to use linkedIn for example, or have the employer request a PDF file from your website? A random person shouldn’t have to find out what school I went to and what companies I worked for, or my home address and phone number for that matter.

    First one is definitely my favorite also. Great clean design.

    But again, is this really the right way to do this..

  • http://www.russelpea.com sticker mural

    simple and efficient.

  • http://www.divisionbyzero.co.uk/ Jonathan

    Some very nice templates but I’m wondering something – how do recruiters react to these sites when they see them? It would be nice to get some feedback from the other side, so to speak. Would a well designed CV website help or hinder?

    Has anyone used a web CV template and been successful in getting the job, and what feedback did you get on the CV?

    Quick PE moan – is the author of number 4 about? Why is the CSS included via JS?

  • http://wordpress.co.ua AzzePis

    is where some more examples? i like it all, and will be great to have some more :)

  • http://mindpulp.com Chetan

    Simply awesome…

  • http://blog.shpyo.net shpyo

    no 1 and 3 are the best for me!

  • Andre McFarlane

    I have made many a CV in my time, and woah OMG seriously people, these are so unprofessional… terrible.

  • http://www.alphabetix.net/blog Alphabetix

    Cool resumes. Number one works for me. There should be a company that specializes making this available to the masses.

  • http://wojenna.pl Księgarnia internetowa

    Very nice samples :)))

  • http://javatutor.net Java developer

    Thanks. Very helpful

  • http://mcreynolds.isa-geek.net Dave

    smart CV fails on Firefox once you start resizing the text. Liquid it ain’t. Actually, this is first page I seen fail because I made the text too small.

  • http://maclord.ozarweb.com Gokhan

    Are those resume sites meant to be just examples, or can we download them as a CMS template whatsoever to customize and use for our own resumes?

  • Hermitbiker

    …. cool templates for resumes…. I find the most simple and to the point styles work the best…. most potential employers are very busy and get annoyed quickly if they have to search more than 2 pages…. if you can keep it to one page it’s even better…. on-line or printed resumes…. keep them as short as possible !! These are just my feelings about the concepts !! :)

  • http://www.coquetcottages.co.uk Coastal Cottages

    Love some of these, would use some for more than just resume too

  • http://www.dezigndiva.com Mia
