Free Responsive HTML/CSS3 CV Template

4th June 2012 - 185 Words - 67 Comments

While cleaning up the folders on my home server I came across my CV and it hadn’t been updated in over two years. So I decided it was time to update it, I opened up word was ready to go when I thought why the hell did I open up word surely I can create a web based CV.

I decided to create a responsive CV which used CSS3 animations. After a few nights after work I had created one and put it online, it got some great feedback and I had a few people ask me how I made it and if they could use it. So I thought the best thing to do would be to release it as a freebie.

  3. Roy Klemba

    Nice Work…. Thanks!

  4. Carlo Rizzante

    Good job, simple and nice. I would have written a different markup, nevertheless, definitely useful for practicing on responsive mambo jungo. Thank you, Thomas!

  5. Steve Harwood

    Nice demonstration of responsive technique. Perhaps include some notes or comments – especially in the CSS file.

  6. Darryl Wesson

    Great Work!! This is very helpful!!

  7. David

    In my opinion your portrait should not disappear on smaller resolutions. It’s an important element in a CV.

  8. Rob

    Great idea… Nice one…
    Agreed with another poster – a few comments would be excellent :)

  9. CJ

    I love you.

  10. Talha Okur

    Nice work! thank you

    @David: Since when has a picture ever been part of a CV (or, more correctly in this case, a résumé)? There’s enough to worry about regarding formatting, content, etc., let alone whether you have the required skill set without inviting rejection because you’re not as hot as the next applicant (not that that would ever be admitted to as a reason).

    A very nice template – indeed, your whole website is really pleasant to browse. May I ask if there’s a CMS behind the scenes and, if so, is it off-the-shelf or one you’ve coded yourself? (Your site doesn’t look like yet another WordPress theme! ;-) )

    Ace!

  24. Thomas Hardy

    @Franco, @Hasan, @Roy, @Carlo, @Darryl, @CJ, @Talha, @Daan, @Dan, @Paul, @Marce;, @Marcus, @Hugo and @David thanks a lot for the kind words.

    @Steve & Rob thanks a lot, anything in particular in the CSS you would like me to comment?

    @David I feel that a headshot isn’t actually something that is important on a CV hence why it is removed when it would take up un nessecary space.

    @Dracheic nice to see someone else use it!

    @Chris Philpot the site is built using WordPress with a theme I created myself.

    This is a great starting point for a simple cv online. You might consider changing your print font or getting rid of the downloaded google font as it seems to cause issues with Google Chrome when printing. (for me anyway).

    Me too think that the picture is not an essential part of a CV, but it will be nice to have one.

  55. Dan Dutton

    Thank you so much for this awesome template – I’ve used it for my own CV if that’s okay? (http://gesweb.co.uk). Noticed that you still have your Google Analytics code in the HTML – if this wasn’t “by design”, your stats may be being misreported.

    Thanks again,

    Dan
