Space for what matters

By tucking contact details, profiles, and skills into a sidebar, the main column is free to tell the longer story: your roles, your projects, and the results you delivered. The result is a page that scans in seconds.

The tinted sidebar gives the document a modern, considered look without resorting to heavy graphics. Accent colour flows through the sidebar background, headings, and tags so the whole page stays in tune.

A good fit for

  • Technology, product, and design roles
  • Candidates with a strong skills or tooling section
  • Anyone who wants a link-heavy CV that still looks tidy

Switch themes at any time in the builder — your content carries across untouched.

FAQ

About the Modern theme

Do two-column templates confuse applicant tracking systems?

This layout puts your main experience in a single, wide column and keeps only short sidebar content beside it. That keeps the important text in a predictable reading order for parsers.

Can I add a photo?

Yes. If your basics include a photo it appears at the top of the sidebar, and the rest of the sidebar reflows around it.
