How to write a Web Developer resume that gets noticed
Web developer resumes work best when they show both skills and live work. Recruiters want to see HTML, CSS, JavaScript and a framework or CMS, plus links to real websites you built. Mention responsive design, performance and any SEO or accessibility work you did.
This Web Developer resume maker opens with the Dark Header design and adds a ready-made "Web Developer Details" section for Live Websites and Front-end Stack.

Frequently asked questions
Is a portfolio link more important than the resume?
Both matter. The resume gets you shortlisted and the portfolio proves your skills, so include two or three live links on the resume itself.
How do I describe freelance web work?
List it as experience with the client type, what you built and the result, for example a booking site that increased enquiries.
