I’m not impressed by the examples visible on the homepage. Not bad, but not really good either. I think I did a better job for my CV and website, as well as few friends’ CV redesign than that. I wouldn’t pay for the service if I had to make a CV, as it’s missing the premium design a paid service should deliver.

Oh okay, makes me a bit sad to hear that but it's fine as well because people are actually paying for the service. If you don't mind I would love to see the work you have done. Maybe I can improve the service even more with your help :)

Sorry it’s privacy sensitive data and making them anonymous would take too much time.

An example of something that put me off is: on Gobie’s CV, there is a mix a sheriff and non sheriff on the same document, this make the name and title styles clash which each other than working cooperatively. Also, there seems to be at least 6 different font sizes (excluding name) used in the same document. Playing on font size is a veey good way to create contrast, but too much creates inconsistencies.

Otherwise it’s cool people are using your service. I think they’ll enjoy it even more after you fix some of the styling issues.

In the US sometimes the picture can be a detriment because then the employer can be sued for discrimination based on age, gender, race etc. That is one factor that will keep people from adding their image or street address to a resume.

Ah yes, I didn't knew that a few month ago until someone mentioned it. But you have the option now to hide the picture in the templates :) Maybe I need to highlight that somewhere in the website.

No problem, I would do that.
