What belongs on a resume website.
A site should add meaning to your resume, not stretch the same document across a browser.
A clear direction
Name the role, problems, or kind of work you want to be considered for.
Selected evidence
Choose projects and experience that support that direction instead of listing everything.
Useful context
Explain the situation, your contribution, and what the work shows about you.
A short introduction
Connect the facts into a professional story a resume cannot fully carry.
Relevant skills
Keep the list focused on the work you want to do next.
One contact route
Make it easy to reach you without creating several competing next steps.
Choose the job before the layout
Your resume and website do different jobs.
A resume is a fixed summary designed for fast screening. A website can show selected evidence, connect separate experiences, and give context to work that does not fit in one line.
RESUME
Make the record scannable.
Roles, dates, skills, and concise accomplishments should remain easy to review and compare.
WEBSITE
Make selected work understandable.
Use projects, writing, recommendations, and a short narrative to explain what the record means.
Keep a familiar public profile.
Maintain the standardized history and network context that recruiters already know how to use.

Eight designs, one fictional job seeker.
The profile stays the same in every example so you can compare structure rather than mistaking different career stories for design differences.

Add context, not padding
Turn resume lines into useful evidence.
A website earns its place when it answers the questions a short bullet leaves open.
Resume line
Led redesign of a multi-step planning flow.
Website expansion
Show the problem, the workflow you changed, your role, and one artifact you are allowed to share.
Resume line
Created a research repository for product teams.
Website expansion
Explain what was difficult to find before, how you organized the system, and how teammates used it.
Resume line
Worked with product and engineering partners.
Website expansion
Describe one decision you shaped with those partners and the tradeoff the team had to resolve.
Edit with restraint
What to leave out.
Public space is not a reason to publish every detail. A shorter, safer page is often easier to understand.
- 01Confidential employer, client, or candidate information.
- 02Results you cannot verify or explain.
- 03Every project you have ever touched.
- 04A biography that repeats your full work history.
- 05Several equally prominent contact buttons.
What happens next
- 1. Add your source. Upload your LinkedIn PDF, plus optional links or context.
- 2. Review in private. Check the writing, contact action, and all eight designs.
- 3. Publish when ready. Your draft stays unavailable to the public until you choose Publish.
Build the site your resume cannot be.
Storypage turns material you provide into an editable private draft. You decide what is accurate, which design fits, and whether anything should become public.
