Web developer resumes tend to list every framework and stop there. The people hiring want to know what you built, who used it and whether it got faster or sold more. The template above answers that for agency, in-house and freelance work, and the score on this page is the actual output of the Review.

Why each choice was made

  1. Why business numbers sit next to code

    Most web developers work for people who don't read code: a marketing lead, a shop owner, an agency client. A bullet that ends in leads, sales or load time is one they can judge, and it is the one that gets forwarded to the hiring manager.

  2. Why freelance work is a real job here

    Freelance and agency work is normal for this role. List it like any other employer, with dates, the kind of clients and what you delivered. Grouping small clients under one entry keeps it from looking scattered.

  3. Why accessibility has its own line

    More postings now ask for WCAG knowledge because inaccessible sites carry legal risk in the US, UK and EU. If you have fixed real accessibility issues, a single line with the count shows it better than a skills keyword.

Web developer resume questions

See all ATS-friendly resume templates, check your file with the free ATS resume checker, or read how each ATS reads resumes.

What skills should I put on a web developer resume?

The skills the job posting names, spelled the way it spells them. For a web developer that often includes HTML, CSS, WordPress, PHP, Node.js and REST APIs. Show each one in a bullet with a result, then list the core ones again in a short skills section.

How do I write a web developer resume summary?

Keep it to two or three sentences: your years of experience and where, the scale of your work, and one result with a number. Leave out words a recruiter cannot check, like hardworking or passionate. The example summary on this page shows the pattern.
