Mateo Serrano's Web Designer & Developer resume in the Ingot template

Example 1 of 7 · Ingot template

Mateo Serrano, Web Designer & Developer

Mateo Serrano is a web designer and developer in Leeds seven years into building sites, from a junior front-end post at a digital agency through a product studio to leading the web team at an online homeware retailer. A hiring manager for a web role reads for what shipped and how fast it runs, so each role names a build and measures it.

Why this resume works

  • The current role measures the storefront rebuild twice, mobile load time from 4.8 to 1.9 seconds and mobile checkout completion up 17%.
  • The studio role counts the output, 22 client sites, and names the shared component library he wrote for every project after.
  • The first job puts a number on accessibility work, 300 issues fixed across six charity and council sites.
  • The job title reads Web Designer & Developer, so a reader sees both halves of the work before the history.
  • Four languages sit in the column as ring gauges, Spanish native and English fluent, a strength for a retailer that sells across Europe.

Keziah Hollis's Web Designer resume in the Sprig template

Example 2 of 7 · Sprig template

Keziah Hollis, Web Designer

Keziah Hollis is a web designer in Cambridge seven years into the work, from a design assistant in an in-house marketing team through a junior post at a digital agency to designing and building client sites at a small studio. A studio or agency reads a web designer’s resume for sites shipped, what changed after launch and how the work was tested, so each role counts those.

Why this resume works

  • The profile puts a result beside the craft, three recent launches that cut home-page bounce rates by a third on average.
  • The current role counts the output and its checks, 18 client sites each tested against WCAG 2.2 AA before launch.
  • Launch results are measured, a garden centre shop that lifted mobile orders by 42% and a donation form that raised completed gifts by 27%.
  • The column rates six skills in mint dots, from web design and Figma at five to branding at three.
  • Selected Projects is a section she added under the same spaced capitals and mint stroke, naming a volunteer rota site still used by 60 volunteers.

Hannah Okoye's Junior Web Developer resume in the Tawny template

Example 3 of 7 · Tawny template

Hannah Okoye, Junior Web Developer

Hannah Okoye is a final-year computer science student at the University of Leeds who has spent two years as a part-time junior web developer at a small digital agency, and is applying for a graduate web developer role from summer 2027. A hiring lead reading a graduate resume looks for real client work and the stack behind it, so the profile names the hours and the frameworks, and the one role carries the numbers.

Why this resume works

  • The profile states the part-time hours and the two frameworks, React and Node.js, in its first sentence, so the stack is read before the history.
  • The agency role counts eleven client sites and gives one measured result, a booking page cut from 4.1 to 1.6 seconds to load.
  • Automated accessibility checks that now run on every release show work the whole team still uses, not a one-off task.
  • Skills summary is a section the writer added under the same ruled heading as the rest, with Problem solving and Communication as bold subheadings over bullets.
  • The degree lists four relevant modules and two projects, one used by 120 students, under bold labels in the narrow column.
  • Technical skills open on a bold group, front end, back end, databases, testing and tools, so a recruiter scanning for a stack finds it by name.

Tobias Pixelwright's Senior Web Developer resume in the Apricot template

Example 4 of 7 · Apricot template

Tobias Pixelwright, Senior Web Developer

Tobias Pixelwright is a senior front-end developer seven years in, from a junior post at a design studio to leading a digital agency’s client builds, applying for a lead developer role. Front-end hiring turns on what a candidate shipped and how fast it loads, so this resume gives the storefront its traffic, the performance work its before and after, and the studio years their count of clients and reuse.

Why this resume works

  • The current build carries its scale, a React and TypeScript storefront serving 2 million monthly visitors, before any bullet about the work itself.
  • The performance work is a before and after on one metric a hiring lead can check, largest contentful paint from 3.8 to 1.6 seconds, with the two techniques that did it.
  • Reviewing every pull request from a team of five and running the fortnightly release are stated as duties, which is the lead-developer evidence the target role needs.
  • The studio years count the output, 30 clients and a component library reused across 12 builds, so a small-agency background reads as breadth rather than as small work.
  • The skills are six short phrases two abreast, tools and judgment together, and the languages carry their CEFR codes, so a screener reads C2 rather than guessing at "fluent".

Celeste Marchand's Web Developer resume in the Ash template

Example 5 of 7 · Ash template

Celeste Marchand, Web Developer

Celeste Marchand is a front-end web developer seven years in, from a small agency’s junior desk to a studio where she builds the customer-facing sites of regional brands, applying for a senior front-end post. A front-end hire is judged on the sites that shipped and what they measure, so this resume gives each role a count of sites, one performance figure and one accessibility standard, keeps the about to how she works with designers and a back-end team, and sets the tools in two columns at the foot of the page.

Why this resume works

  • The about names the stack, React and TypeScript, and the two qualities a lead reads for, accessible and fast, before any role is opened.
  • The studio role carries a site count, 11 brands, a rebuild measured two ways, WCAG AA and a page load from 4.1 s to 1.6 s on a phone, and a component library sized at 70 parts.
  • The agency role gives the migration a result, a new site in eight days rather than three weeks, and puts a number on the support queue, about 25 tickets a month.
  • Both degrees carry a bullet on what they taught and one on a thing built, the department event site and four practicum client sites, so the education reads as work rather than a line.
  • A named reference from the current studio sits in the column with a company, an email and a phone, which is the section a small studio actually calls.

Elias Brandt's Web Developer resume in the Pebble template

Example 6 of 7 · Pebble template

Elias Brandt, Web Developer

Elias Brandt is a web developer five years in, from an agency's WordPress sites to owning the storefront of an outdoor-gear retailer, and applying for a web developer role on a product team. A developer with a mixed agency and in-house history is hired on what changed after they shipped, so this resume writes every role as the numbers that moved, keeps the stack to a plain skills list, and closes on two side projects that show the work continuing outside the job.

Why this resume works

  • The profile states the stack in one clause, TypeScript and React on Node, and then spends its words on how the work is measured, Lighthouse and real-user timings, which is what a product team asks about first.
  • The storefront role is written as a before and after: a checkout of nine steps cut to four and an 18% lift in completed mobile orders, and a product page taken from 3.4 to 1.2 seconds with the two changes that did it named.
  • The studio role counts the output, eleven client sites and a 40-part component library, and adds the accessibility pass on every one, so the agency years read as a body of shipped work rather than a list of clients.
  • The junior role keeps its plain size, 30 small-business sites and a booking service, but ends on the deployment guide two later hires learned from, which is the first sign of someone who documents.
  • Projects is a section the writer added under the same spaced-capital heading as the rest: a trailhead forecast page with 9,000 visits a month and an open-source app with 30 merged pull requests from other people.
  • Two qualifications read the same way down the narrow column, the award in spaced capitals with its field after a colon over the school and the years, so the associate degree is shown rather than dropped.

Noor Haddad's Web Developer resume in the Fathom template

Example 7 of 7 · Fathom template

Noor Haddad, Web Developer

Noor Haddad is a senior front-end developer six years in, leading the booking flow of a platform used by 400 hotels, and applying for a lead role. Front-end hiring has moved from framework names to measurable outcomes, so this resume reports page weight, paint times and the accessibility audit as numbers that changed, and keeps the tool list in its own section.

Why this resume works

  • The headline improvement is a before-and-after on one metric a hiring manager can check: largest contentful paint from 4.1 to 1.8 seconds.
  • The accessibility work is reported as audit findings closed, 61 down to 4, rather than as a standard the team aimed at.
  • A Technical Skills section groups the tools under front end, back end and tooling, so the rated skills above it can stay disciplines rather than product names.
  • A Personal Projects section carries user and contributor counts, which is the evidence for open-source work that a repository link alone does not give.
  • The agency years are sized by client count, 14 sites, and by the starter kit that outlived the projects it was written for.
