Senior Web Developer Resume Example
A studio hiring its head of web development needs someone who can run delivery, keep a hosting business healthy and grow developers. This example shows each of those with a figure and leaves the stack to a short block, because at this level the stack is the easy part.

Why this example works
- Care-plan revenue growing from ₹90 lakh to ₹2.4 crore shows the candidate runs part of the business, not just the build queue.
- Estimates within 10% of actual hours on most projects is the number a studio owner checks first, because it decides profit.
- Uptime is reported as a falling count of long outages, which is honest and easy to verify.
- The hospital rebuild shows accessibility delivered across 600 pages, not as a box ticked at launch.
- Earlier roles show the path from trainee to lead, with each step adding one new responsibility.
How to write your own web developer resume
- If you run hosting or maintenance, give its yearly revenue and the number of sites, because it shows you understand recurring income.
- Show how close your estimates land to actual hours; studio owners weigh that skill heavily in a head of web.
- Report reliability as a trend, such as long outages per year, rather than a claim that sites never go down.
- Describe the standard stack or process you introduced and the time it saved on each build.
- Say how you hire and train developers, including the length of the training plan for new joiners.
- Spend the bullets on delivery, money and people, and leave the stack to a short skills block.

Only list what is true for you. A skill you cannot talk about in an interview does not help.
Common questions
Does a head of web development still need to code?
In most studios, yes, at least on the hard parts. Show recent hands-on work in one bullet, such as the shared theme or the travel agent sync, so the reader knows you can still review code well.
How do I show business results as a web lead?
Use the revenue you are responsible for, estimate accuracy or the margin on a care plan. Round the figures and say over what period they were measured.
Should I name every client I have built for?
No. Name the sectors, and one or two projects by type, such as a hospital group's site. Use a client's name only when the work is public and your agreement allows it.
Where does a hosting or care-plan business go on a web lead resume?
Under the current role, as its own bullet with the number of sites and the yearly revenue. Mention it in the summary too, since few developers can show they built recurring income.
