Frontend Developer CV example

What to include in a frontend developer cv: relevant evidence, skills, sample achievement structures and template suggestions.

A useful starting point

Show shipped UI, accessibility, and the framework the advert names. Two pages for mid-level. Skip a screenshot collage. Skip this if you are applying for backend-only roles with no UI — the frontend proof will not help.

These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.

Evidence to consider

  • Framework named in the advert
  • Accessibility work
  • Performance proof if you have it
  • Design-handoff tools you used

Illustrative achievement bullets

  • Rebuilt checkout in React; cut JS bundle 28% and raised conversion 0.7pp
  • Implemented WCAG 2.2 keyboard paths on a 40-page authenticated app
  • Partnered with design in Figma; reduced design-QA tickets 30% in a quarter
  • Wrote Playwright coverage for the subscription flow, 22 cases

Relevant skills to substantiate

React · TypeScript · CSS · Accessibility · Playwright · Figma

What to leave out

  • Skill bars
  • Every CSS methodology you have heard of
  • Photos

Frequently asked questions

Portfolio or CV first?

Both if they asked. The CV still needs extractable text — do not replace it with a PDF of pictures.

Should I use the Tech Stack template?

For a hiring manager PDF, yes. For a Workday upload, use Modern single-column.

Do I mention pixel-perfect?

No. Mention accessibility, performance, and a shipped flow.
