Why FORMA
Built for developers, designers, and job seekers who want full control without the complexity.
Clean semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy. Tested against Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and iCIMS parsers. Zero invisible text or image-based content.
One :root { --primary: … } block at the top of each file. Change your brand color, fonts, and spacing in seconds — no build step needed.
Dedicated @media print rules baked in. Hit Ctrl+P in Chrome for a pixel-perfect A4 or Letter PDF.
The Noir template is fully dark-themed out of the box. All templates use CSS variables so switching any template to a dark palette is a single :root edit.
Pure HTML and CSS — no npm, no Node.js, no build pipeline. Open any template in your text editor or browser and start customizing immediately. Works fully offline.
Every template ships with inline comments explaining key CSS decisions, font choices, and print rules. No hunting through minified code — everything is readable at a glance.
Under the Hood
Simple enough to edit in Notepad. Precise enough for pixel-perfect print output.
Proper <article>, <section>, <header>, and <address> elements. ATS bots and screen readers both understand it perfectly.
Every color, font, and spacing value lives in a :root { --var } block at the top of each file. Rebrand a template by editing one section — no search-and-replace needed.
Modern, standards-based layouts with no hacks or float tricks. Column structures, sidebars, and spacing are clean, readable CSS — easy to adjust to any layout preference.
Dedicated @media print and @page rules pre-configured for A4. Export to PDF via Chrome's built-in printer — no external tools, no plugins.
Developer-First
The entire template's look is driven by a single :root block at the top of the file. Change your brand once, every element updates.
Edit the --primary, --accent, and --surface variables at the top of the file — every component picks them up automatically with zero other changes.
Swap --font-display and --font-body to any Google Font pairing with a single string change. All sizes and weights cascade from there.
Hit Ctrl+P in Chrome or click the Save PDF button in the toolbar. Print margins, page breaks, and bleed areas are all pre-configured via @media print.
Social Proof
★★★★★
"The CSS variable approach is genius. I changed two lines and had a fully branded resume that matched my portfolio site perfectly. Got interviews at three FAANG companies within two weeks."
★★★★★
"As a developer, I loved that these are real HTML files — not some locked editor. I customized the Dark template completely in about an hour. The print CSS alone saved me so much time."
★★★★★
"I use FORMA for all my clients now. The Academic template in particular is the most elegant academic CV I've seen as a pure HTML file. Zero formatting headaches with Word docs anymore."
