Web CVs (and where to get help setting one up!)
This type of CV could be useful if you want to put your work, in the form of art, photography or music on display, or if you are a performer and want to include photographs of yourself.
If you want to have a web CV, in other words, a webpage with your CV on it, you will need to learn HTML or use an HTML editor. There are plenty of free HTML tutorials online on sites such as www.htmlgoodies.com.
If you’d prefer not to learn html, you can download a free wysiwyg editor at: www.nvu.com. Click the download button and scroll down the page until you find Windows, or whatever your operating system is, and then download and save. Once you’ve done that, you need to double click on the icon to install the program. You’ll also need an ftp program to upload files (I use Dreamweaver which has inbuilt ftp) but there are plenty of free trials or free options, which you can find at www.download.com. And of course, you’ll need a domain name and hosting. You can get free hosting, often from your ISP, but this will usually involve a long address before your chosen name.
You can get a domain name for around £14 a year, which comes with free hosting at www.nameroute.co.uk or www.nameroute.com. This will give you plenty of room for a CV, but if you want to develop a website with more functionality, there are plenty of options out there. I use Host4profit, which has an affiliate program – for each person who buys hosting via your site you get $10 a month. So if you get 3 friends to sign up, that will more than cover the cost of your own hosting. If you want to check them out, go to:Host4Profit .
You can search for cheap domain names – one of the cheapest sites is at www.godaddy.com.
If all of this is too much hassle, you can pay a web designer or web savvy teenager to help you out.
