CareerFolios' Design Philosophy

CareerFolios' design philosophy is simple:

• Searchable content + downloadable / searchable text
• Designer colors and styles
• Appropriate graphics that complement (not overwhelm) the resume and its "message"

CareerFolios are designed for maximum "human" usability on the Web:

• 24/7 Searchable Content: CareerFolios pages are searchable and indexable by resume spiders and sites such as Google.
• Appropriate Design Graphics: CareerFolios' designs complement (rather than overwhelm) the resume. In addition, CareerFolios do not rely on photographs - which are not always appropriate on resumes - as the primary design element.
• Eye Appealing Styles: CareerFolios' eye-catching styles are designed for optimum "human" readability. CareerFolios' high-contrast pages and use of type reflect best practices in web readability. In addition, set-width pages ensure that all resume text is readable when printed.
• Optimum Readability:
• Database Ready Text Download:
• Intuitive URL:
• Browser Tested: CareerFolios styles are designed to look good on various types of browsers and computer screens.

Type: According to XXXXX sans serif type is the most readable type for body text on the Web. Most CareerFolios use sans serif type.
