Web Developer Resume Example
A mid-level web developer in Raleigh, seven years in, who started as a retailer's only in-house developer and now builds client sites at a small agency.
A fictional resume written by our team. The person, employers and numbers are invented; the tools, licenses and schools are real.
Why it works
- 1
“Web developer with 7 years building marketing and e-commerce sites, now at a 20-person agency shipping about 12 client sites a year on WordPress and Shopify. Focus on speed and accessibility. Portfolio: dana-solberg.example.com”
Years, the kind of sites, the setting, the volume and the platforms, plus the portfolio link where a reviewer looks first.
- 2
“Build about 12 client sites a year as one of 4 developers, on custom WordPress block themes and Shopify themes”
Volume, team size and the platforms, which tells an agency or in-house team whether this setup matches theirs.
- 3
“Rebuilt a credit union's site, cutting mobile LCP from 4.6 to 1.8 seconds and page weight from 5.2 MB to 1.4 MB”
A Core Web Vitals number and page weight with a before and after. Speed on a phone can be measured, so this measures it.
- 4
“Fixed 140 issues from a WCAG 2.2 AA audit on a healthcare client's site, tested with NVDA and VoiceOver”
Accessibility as work done, with a count, the standard and how it was checked.
- 5
“Raised a furniture retailer's Shopify conversion rate from 1.6% to 2.3% in 6 months after a product page and cart redesign with the agency designer”
A business result the client tracked, with the designer credited. It shows the developer knows what the site is for.
- 6
“Set up a staging site and Git-based deploys, ending the outages that had followed 3 of the previous 5 plugin updates”
A problem, the fix and how often it had happened. It shows the habits behind a site that stays up.
How it scored
We ran this example through the same free roast you can use, three times, and kept the middle result. The roast ranks a resume against a typical applicant pile and grades hard: even a resume with a number in nearly every bullet usually lands in the B range.
Copy the text
Use it as a skeleton, then replace every line with your own work. A copied bullet with someone else's numbers is the fastest way to fail an interview question.
