Four designs, one set of content

Pick a template that fits the story you are telling

Every template below is rendered from the same example CV, so what you see is genuinely what you get — not a mockup. Switch between them whenever you like: your content never changes, only the design around it.

The Apeal template: a two-column CV with a teal timeline rail down the experience column, skill chips grouped by category, and proficiency dots for languages.
Apeal

The all-rounder, and the safest place to start

Two columns: your story on the left along a teal timeline rail, and the scannable things — skills, languages, interests — stacked on the right. It is the template that handles the widest range of careers without looking like a compromise.

Reach for it when you have a lot of skills to show and want a recruiter to find them in the first few seconds.

  • Timeline rail that keeps long histories readable
  • Skill chips grouped by category, not one long list
  • Proficiency dots for languages, no invented percentages
Accents
The Editorial template: a single-column CV with a dark masthead band across the top of page one, gold section accents and numbered section headings.
Editorial

For the CV that should read like a considered piece of writing

One column, a dark masthead bleeding across the top of the first page, gold accents and numbered sections. The single column gives your sentences room, which matters when the substance of your work is in the prose rather than a list of tools.

Suits senior, editorial, academic and consulting careers — anywhere the reader is going to actually read, not just scan.

  • Masthead bleeds to the paper edge on page one only
  • Numbered sections that stay oriented across pages
  • Generous measure — around 70 characters a line
Accents
The Swiss template: a minimal navy CV with a fixed label column on the left, numbered sections, and small duotone country flags beside each role.
Swiss

Disciplined, gridded, and impossible to misread

A fixed label column on the left holds dates and locations; everything else lines up against it. Numbered sections, a navy accent bar and small duotone flags for the countries you have worked in. Nothing decorative survives that does not help the reader.

The most structured of the four, and the one that copes best with a long career and many roles.

  • Fixed label column: dates and places always aligned
  • Section headings repeat with “(continued)” across pages
  • Country flags for every nation, drawn to match your accent
Accents
The Ink and Chartreuse template: a bold editorial CV with near-black diagonal bands, an electric chartreuse accent, a large display name and an honest four-figure stat band.
Ink & Chartreuse

Loud on purpose, for work that is meant to be looked at

Near-black diagonal bands, an oversized display name and an electric accent. A stat band across the first page counts your years, roles, countries and languages — computed from what you actually entered, never invented.

Built for designers, creative directors and anyone whose CV is itself a portfolio piece. It paginates itself so the closing band always lands flush at the bottom of the last page.

  • Honest stat band — derived from your entries, not padded
  • Self-paginating finale that ends flush at the paper edge
  • Duotone photo treatment ringed in your accent colour

The same in all four

What every template gives you

The design changes. The engineering underneath does not.

Real A4 PDFs

Printed by a real browser engine, not a converter — so what you saw on screen is what lands in the file, down to the page breaks and the colour running to the paper edge.

Six accents, or your own

Each template ships a curated palette that was chosen to work with its design, plus a colour picker if you want something specific. Contrast is handled for you.

Sections you control

Turn optional sections off, drag them into the order you want. Anything empty disappears rather than leaving a heading stranded on the page.

Switch without redoing anything

Your content lives separately from the design. Change template and the same words reflow into it — no copying, no reformatting, nothing lost.

No stock filler

No fake logos, no invented ratings, no five-star skill bars you cannot justify in an interview. Everything on the page came from you.

Encrypted at rest

Your CVs are encrypted before they are stored, and every account's data is kept in its own namespace. How that works.
