What it does
A PDF resume only goes so far. A personal website lets you present your experience, show past projects and share your thoughts in one place that employers and clients can visit. This theme is designed around that job, with a layout focused on skills, experience and portfolio work. It suits developers, designers, freelancers and other professionals who want a tidy online presence without building a site from scratch.
Pages are built and edited with Elementor's drag and drop interface, and the theme includes ready-made widgets and templates for galleries, portfolios, video and blog content. It is also compatible with ACF Pro for custom fields and personalized sections. The design is responsive and Retina ready, so your resume displays clearly on desktops, tablets and phones. Under the hood it uses HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery.
