Web Developer resume

What is a good professional summary for a web developer?

A good web developer summary names the kind of sites or apps you build, your core stack and one result that a business would care about, such as faster pages or more sign-ups. Two or three sentences is enough.

Example (fictional): "Front-end web developer with four years building responsive React and Next.js sites for retail and hospitality brands. Improved Core Web Vitals across a 300-page catalogue site, moving most pages into the 'good' range. Comfortable working from Figma designs and with headless CMS platforms."

Another example (fictional), for WordPress work: "WordPress developer who builds custom themes and WooCommerce stores for small businesses, with a focus on page speed, accessibility and easy editing for clients."

Change the summary for each type of role. Agencies, in-house marketing teams and product companies look for slightly different strengths.
