Entry-Level Web Developer Resume Example
A studio hiring a junior web developer wants to see finished, live sites and the care taken before handover. This example lists the first year's launches with their size and checks, keeps the degree near the top, and lets a hand-coded portfolio prove the basics.

Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.
Why this example works
- Seven launched sites in a first year, named by the kind of client, show real output without overstating the candidate's role.
- The speed fix gives a before and after score and the method, which a lead developer can check in a few minutes.
- Accessibility checks with named tools show a habit that many junior resumes leave out.
- The portfolio is hand-coded, so it proves the HTML, CSS and JavaScript that a page builder can hide.
How to write your own web developer resume
- Name the kind of businesses you built for, such as clinics or coaching centers, so a studio can match you to its own clients.
- Say who you worked under in your first year; a junior who knows where review happened reads as safe to hire.
- Link one hand-coded site next to your WordPress work so the reader can see you understand what a theme does for you.
- Mention small features clients asked for, like inquiry buttons or a second language, because they show you listen.
- Give a monthly count of change requests you close if you work from a support queue.

Common questions
Is a BCA enough to start as a web developer?
Yes. A BCA, B.Sc or diploma all work, and many studios also hire from short courses. What gets the interview is live work you can explain line by line.
Are page builders like Elementor worth listing?
Yes, if the studio uses them, but put them after HTML, CSS and JavaScript. A reader wants to know you can fix what the builder breaks.
Which live sites should a junior developer link?
Two or three live sites, each with a line on what you built and one result, such as a speed score or a form that brings in inquiries.
Do unpaid sites built for relatives count as experience?
Yes, if they are live and you can say what they do for the owner. Label them as freelance and give the same detail as paid work.
