What it does
A resume site needs to do a few things well: present your background clearly, show examples of your work and look right on phones as well as desktops. This theme is built around that job. It provides responsive, retina ready layouts and sections you can adjust to fit your own story, so job seekers, freelancers, developers and creative professionals can set up a personal site without starting from a blank page.
Customization runs through Elementor, with drag and drop editing and a set of pre-designed widgets for portfolios, galleries, video sections and blogs. The theme also works with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF Pro) and the Bootstrap framework if you want to extend what your pages can hold. Under the hood it is built on HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery with clean, semantic code, and it comes with documentation that walks you through setup and customization.

- Job seekers building an online CV or resume
