Whilst looking for a new job back in early 2020, I began to research for an online CV builder where I wanted something easy to use, quick to build and have a selection of different existing templates. I wanted to have a nice looking and different CV to standout. I spent many hours looking for a suitable site and came across VisualCV.

All fine and dandy, but... 🤔

In short, if you use a pro template for your CV you need to have a paid subscription to download it. If you use a free template you can download it for free. When it comes to updating my CV I pay for a month to edit and download, and then cancel. It's a bit of a faff but worth it for the simplicity, quickness and templates (in my opinion!).

Features 🔥

• Pretty templates (3 free, 17 pro)
• Both free and paid plans available
• Sample content
• Preview
• Drag and drop reordering
• Multiple CVs
• Modify page margins
• Add/modify page breaks
• Download as PDF and Word (beta)
• Optional shareable link or export only
• Good mobile app
