Web Developer Resume Bullet Points
17 examples, each shown weak and strong
A strong web developer bullet points to a site someone can open, names the stack it runs on, and shows what got faster, more accessible or better at its job. Say whether you worked agency, in-house or freelance, and tie the work to load times, accessibility fixes or the conversions the site exists for.
How to use these
- Every [X%], [N] and [$X] is a blank for your own figure. Fill it from your records, or a careful estimate you could explain in an interview. If you have no number, describe the result in words.
- Only use a bullet for work you actually did. Change the details until it describes your job, not this page.
- The ticks are three plain checks done in code: it opens with an action verb, it has a number, and it says what changed. Strong bullets pass all three; weak ones miss at least one.
