Free Resume & CV Website Templates for WordPress

Find out if these resume and CV website templates are right for you

6 professionally designed resume and CV website templates built for job seekers, designers, photographers, and creative professionals who want to stand out with an online portfolio. Here’s what to know before you pick one.

Who these are for

Resume and CV templates work best for professionals who want more than a PDF. An online resume lets you link directly from a job application, include live portfolio work, show your personality through design, and appear in Google search for your name or specialism. These templates are built for that. The collection blends classic CV-style layouts with portfolio-forward designs for creatives — useful whether you are applying for a role or attracting inbound interest in your work.

What comes in the box

Every template ships as a full demo import. About and bio sections, work experience or portfolio areas, skills and credentials, testimonials or references, and contact forms come pre-designed and ready to edit. You are replacing placeholder content with your own, not building page structures from scratch.

Performance and SEO

Astra loads under 50KB, which matters when a hiring manager or recruiter clicks your link. A fast, professional site reflects well before they have read a single word. Schema markup is included across templates. No additional optimization plugins needed to pass Core Web Vitals.

Customization

Fully customizable with Elementor or the block editor. Built with clean HTML5 and PHP. Mobile-friendly and responsive across every device. SureForms handles contact and enquiry forms natively if you want recruiters or clients to reach you directly from the site.

Built for client work

All templates are free to use on client projects. WCAG-accessible, translation-ready, RTL-compatible, and regularly updated for the latest WordPress releases. White-labeling available on premium plans.

Changing themes is something that I have been wanting to do for some time and when I saw Astra, I knew that was going to be the theme for me. Its focus is on performance and it is built to work with all page builders. Moreover, Astra is built by Brainstorm Force, a team of developers you can trust. They make several very successful products for WordPress and have the experience to build things the right way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your common queries

What is the difference between a resume website and a portfolio website?

A resume website is structured around your career history, skills, and credentials — it reads like an expanded CV. A portfolio website is structured around your work — it leads with examples and lets the output speak first. Many of the templates in this collection do both, which suits designers, photographers, and creatives who need to show credentials and showcase their work at the same time.

Are these resume and CV website templates free?

A mix of free and premium templates are included. Personal Portfolio, Alexandrina Kennedy, Kate Stone, Adham Hoffman, and Portfolio and CV are free. The Photographer Portfolio template is premium and requires an Astra Pro plan, which also unlocks additional customization options, priority support, and the full template library.

Can I link to my online resume directly from a job application?

Yes. Because the site lives on your own domain, you get a clean, shareable URL you can paste into any job application, email, or LinkedIn profile. A link to a professional WordPress site looks more intentional than a link to a generic resume builder platform.

Can I add downloadable PDF versions of my CV to my website?

Yes. WordPress lets you upload any file including PDF to your media library and link to it from any page or button. A common approach is to add a prominent download button on the homepage or resume page so visitors can save a PDF version alongside browsing the full site.

Will my resume website show up in Google when someone searches my name?

Yes, with the right setup. A personal website on your own domain with your name in the title and heading will typically rank for your own name searches within a few weeks of being indexed. Schema markup is included in these templates to help Google understand the page as a personal profile. Consistent publishing and a Google Search Console verification speeds up indexing.
