10 Resume and CV Website Templates, Compared
By Manob Editorial ·
A good resume website template puts your story, skills and work on one clear page, with a contact form that is easy to find. We compared ten options on Manob: six HTML or React templates and four WordPress themes. Ashadul and Liton cover CV basics in either format; Aomio adds vCard layouts.
What should a resume website include?
An online resume is shorter and more focused than a full portfolio site. A recruiter or client wants to know who you are, what you can do and how to reach you, usually in under a minute. A good template makes that order obvious.
- An about section. A short introduction and a photo.
- Skills and experience. A scannable list, not a wall of text.
- Selected work. A portfolio or projects section with a few strong examples.
- A contact route. A form or mail function, kept near the top or repeated at the bottom.
- Room to update. Your CV changes, so choose a layout you can edit in minutes.
Some people want a small one-page vCard. Others want a CV plus a blog or gallery. If the work itself is the main attraction, see our roundups of HTML portfolio templates and personal portfolio WordPress themes. This post sticks to templates that name a resume, CV or vCard use in their listings.

HTML and React resume templates
Static templates load fast and need no database. The trade-off is that you edit files rather than click through a dashboard. Our guide to editing a Bootstrap template shows how, and how to deploy a website covers putting it online.

How to choose
- Decide how much you will edit. A single-page CV that changes twice a year suits HTML. A site you will update often, or add a blog to, suits WordPress. Our HTML vs WordPress comparison helps with the choice.
- Match the stack to the job. A developer's CV can double as proof of skill, so a React template like Nabhan fits. A marketer or lawyer may prefer WordPress.
- Check the images. Liton (HTML) lists images in the download, while Ashadul (HTML) and Anzal say images are not included. Plan your photos before you start.
- Use the demo. Preview a template before you buy, and test your real text, since long job titles can break tidy layouts.
- Check the license. A Regular License covers one end product where end users are not charged. See Regular vs Extended license.
When to look elsewhere
- You only need a printable CV. A word processor or design tool makes a PDF faster than any website.
- You want something free. The WordPress.org theme directory lists free themes, and a clean one may be enough for a personal CV.
- Nobody will edit code or install a theme. A hosted site builder is simpler than a file-based template.
- You want a portfolio first. See our HTML portfolio templates roundup for work-led layouts.
