Resume Website – Matius Montol

Goal

To design a modern, visually clean one-page resume website for Matius Montol—a professional entering a competitive market who needed a strong, personal online presence. The goal was to go beyond a PDF and create a living, interactive résumé that could adapt with his career journey.

Thought & Creation Process

The approach started with one key idea:

"Your website should tell your story before you ever walk into the interview."

We aimed to distill the essence of a well-organized résumé into a simple, scrollable narrative—easy to navigate on mobile, instantly informative, and subtly personalized in tone and design.

Strategy Highlights

• Prioritized sections like About, Education, Experience, Skills, and Contact
• Built with the assumption that the first 10 seconds are crucial—so clarity and readability were paramount
• Designed to leave a lasting impression even if visited for under a minute

Design Direction

• Typography: Professional sans-serif fonts with consistent visual rhythm for scanning
• Layout: Split structure for quick reference—left side anchored with contact and photo, right side scrolling through experience
• Color Scheme: Neutral tones with a single accent color to subtly reflect personality without feeling overly branded
• Visual Touches:
  
  • A static header with name and headline
  • Icons for skills/tools to add visual variation
  • Hover interactions to create engagement on desktop

Build & Hosting

• Lightweight HTML/CSS build for fast loading
• Responsive design to ensure clean viewing across devices
• Optimized for keyword indexing (for better visibility in Google searches)
• Hosted on a personal domain for professionalism and email setup

Outcome

The final site served as a polished, professional snapshot of Matius Montol’s qualifications, combining traditional résumé structure with modern user expectations. Key results included:

• Successful use during job applications and networking outreach
• Positive feedback from peers and recruiters on layout and accessibility
• A foundation that could be easily expanded to include blog posts or portfolio items in the future

This project illustrates how a well-crafted personal website can bridge the gap between static résumés and dynamic digital identities—especially for those entering or pivoting within professional spaces.
