ATS keywords for web developer resumes
These terms appear often in web developer job descriptions. Use the ones that truthfully describe your experience, in the same words the posting uses. To see exactly which keywords your resume is missing for a specific job, try the job description matcher.
How to write a web developer resume
1. Lead with your portfolio
Put your portfolio or GitHub link in the header. Live sites with clear descriptions of your role often carry as much weight as job titles.
2. Measure what your code improved
Page speed, Lighthouse scores, conversions, traffic and launch counts are easy to quantify. Use real figures from analytics or tools, not estimates you cannot support.
3. Separate front-end and back-end skills
Group your skills so recruiters can quickly see whether you fit a front-end, back-end or full-stack role. Only list languages and frameworks you have actually worked with.
4. Describe your role on team projects
If a site was built by a team, say what you personally built: the checkout flow, the CMS theme or the API integration.
5. Avoid design-heavy resume layouts
Even for creative roles, a clean single-column resume parses best in ATS. Let your portfolio show your visual skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a web developer and a software engineer resume?
Web developer resumes focus on websites, CMS platforms, browser performance and client projects. Software engineer resumes usually emphasize larger systems, architecture and backend services.
Do I need a degree to get hired as a web developer?
Not always. Many web developers are self-taught or bootcamp graduates. A strong portfolio, GitHub activity and real client or volunteer projects can make up for a degree.
Should I include freelance work?
Yes. List it like a job, with a title such as "Freelance Web Developer," dates and 2–4 bullets about projects and results.
How many projects should I list?
Two to four strong projects are usually enough. Choose ones that match the job and explain the stack, your role and the outcome.
