Choosing and Customizing a Template

Browse ResiPage's template library, apply a design, and customize colors, fonts, and layout to match your personal brand.

The Template Library

ResiPage includes 10 professionally designed web templates, each with a matching print template for PDF export. Templates range from clean and minimal to bold and creative, covering a variety of industries and personal styles.

To browse and apply a template, go to Dashboard → Theme. You will see your currently active template at the top, and the full library displayed below in a grid.

Available templates include:

  • Art Designer — bold left sidebar with accent color, great for creatives
  • Elegant — clean two-column layout with refined typography
  • Classic — traditional professional format, broad industry appeal
  • Bold — strong header banner, high visual impact
  • Graphic Designer — portfolio-forward with image-heavy layout
  • Fun Clean — modern, approachable layout with color pops
  • Fun Bold — expressive two-column layout with vivid accent
  • Whimsical Medical — healthcare-themed decorative elements
  • Dark Mode — sophisticated dark background for tech professionals
  • Dark Mode 2 — alternative dark layout with a three-column header
Click any template in the grid to switch to it instantly. Your content is never affected — only the visual design changes. You can switch templates as often as you like.

Opening the Template Editor

Once you have selected a template, click Open Editor on the active template card. The editor opens in a full-screen split view: your live-preview resume on the right, and a panel of customization options on the left.

Changing the Accent Color

Every template has an accent color that drives borders, highlights, icons, and section heading decorations. In the editor, click the color swatch next to Accent Color to open the color picker. Drag the hue slider or paste a hex code directly. The preview updates in real time.

The editor stores your last five used colors as quick swatches for fast iteration. These are saved in your browser's local storage per template.

Adjusting Section Layout

Most templates support drag-and-drop section reordering. Click the Columns button (the two-columns icon) in the editor toolbar to open the Section Layout panel. Drag sections between the left and right columns to reorganize your resume structure. Changes are saved automatically.

Publishing Style Changes

Style changes (colors, layout) you make in the editor are saved as drafts. When you are happy with the result, click Publish in the editor toolbar to push the changes live to your public page. The "Published" badge will appear once your latest changes are live.

Publishing style changes is separate from turning your page Live or Offline. Your page visibility is controlled by the Live / Offline toggle in the dashboard top bar, which is present on every dashboard page.

Custom Layout Builder

If the pre-built templates do not fit your vision, ResiPage also offers a Custom Layout Builder. On the Theme page, toggle from Template to Custom at the top of the page, then click Open Custom Editor. The custom editor lets you:

  • Choose a column preset (1-col, 2-col left, 2-col right, or 3-col)
  • Drag content blocks from a palette onto your canvas
  • Reorder and move blocks between columns
  • Set global styles (background color, font, heading size, body size, line height, container shadow)
  • Configure per-block styling and options

When you click Publish in the custom editor, the custom layout becomes your live public page, replacing the selected template.
