How to create a CV using HTML and host in GitHub ?

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

In today's digital age, having an online presence is crucial, especially when it comes to professional endeavors. One effective way to showcase your skills, experiences, and accomplishments is by creating a compelling curriculum vitae (CV). In this article, we are going to build a CV using HTML, and CSS. Later, we will host it on GitHub, a popular platform for version control and code hosting. So let's dive in and unlock the power of HTML and GitHub to craft a standout CV that truly represents your capabilities and accomplishments.

Approach

Link CSS in the HTML head section, creating a structured layout for the resume using div blocks.
Utilize five div blocks within the left section for Image, Contact, Skills, Language & Hobbies, populating each with relevant data.
Incorporate five div blocks within the right section for Name, Summary, Experience, Education & Project, utilizing list and table elements.
Apply class names like (.left) and (.right) in the CSS file for background color and positioning, ensuring a cohesive design.
Implement the display flex property in the body and grid for the entire page layout, optimizing responsiveness and visual appeal.

Example: In this example code, we are using the above approach.
