Digital CV Maker vs a PDF Resume

A PDF gets filed and forgotten. A personal website is a link recruiters can open on any device, share with one tap, and remember — with your projects, story and contact one click away.

What a PDF Resume does well

A PDF resume is the expected format for an application — you’ll still want one.

Where a personal website wins

But a PDF is static, easy to lose in an inbox, and impossible to update once sent. It can’t show live work, capture interest, or be found when someone searches your name.
