Resume Roast for Web Designers

Web Designer resumes get tested immediately: the reviewer opens your portfolio site and judges the craft before reading a word about it. A slow, dated, or non-responsive portfolio contradicts the whole document. The scan looks for live sites, platform range, like custom, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and results: conversion, speed, SEO health. Ship the evidence, then describe it.

What Gabe checks first on a Web Designer resume
  • Link live sites, not mockups, like 12 launched sites in two years across Webflow and WordPress. Live and fast is the entire pitch.
  • Attach performance results, like redesign that cut load time to under 2 seconds and lifted conversions 15 percent. Pretty and slow loses to plain and fast.
  • Show responsive and accessibility work as standard practice, like WCAG AA contrast and keyboard testing on every build. Few claim it; fewer prove it.
Worth knowing

Recruiters spend about 7 seconds on a first resume scan. (Ladders eye-tracking study)
