Resume template for Frontend Developer
A frontend developer's CV needs to demonstrate fluency with modern UI frameworks and a real eye for user experience. Hiring managers scan for React, Vue, or Angular experience, performance wins (Lighthouse scores, bundle-size cuts, Core Web Vitals), and the ability to collaborate with design and backend teams. Lead with the framework that matches the role and back it up with measurable, shipped work — a portfolio link in the header beats any self-description.
A modern layout cleanly separates skills and roles — useful for showcasing the framework stack and shipped projects side by side.

Tips specific to Frontend Developer
- 1.Lead with the framework that matches the posting (React, Vue, Svelte) — not your full history
- 2.Quantify performance wins (LCP, bundle size, Lighthouse) — these are universal signals
- 3.Link a live portfolio or production URL in the header
- 4.Mention design-system or component-library experience explicitly
- 5.Show testing fluency (Playwright, Vitest, Jest) — many frontend CVs skip this
Frequently asked questions
How long should a frontend developer CV be?
Two pages maximum. One page is fine for under 5 years of experience.
Should I include a photo?
For most international tech roles: no. A clean minimal or modern layout without photo is the norm.
Are formal degrees important for frontend roles?
Less than shipped work. A live portfolio and a public GitHub usually carry more weight than the degree itself.
