Recently I created an online resume: Derrick Pedranti
Putting your resume online is a great way to showcase your talent through content, photos, multimedia and interactivity.
- A good content management system. There are some great commercial ones but also excellent non-commercial, free of charge CMS's. Joomla, WordPress, Drupal and DotNetNuke are good options to consider. A good CMS will allow those who are not web designers/developers to update website content. And it will make the website more extensible since there are thousands of available extensions and plug-ins such as forms, slideshows, dropdowns, RSS feed integration, social web integration, etc.
- Fresh content. You should update your site regularly with some fresh content so that the website remains relevant and doesn't become stale. It can also give a user a reason to come back.
- A blog but you need to be sure you can maintain it. A blog needs to be fresh to keep your audience. You can use a blog for SEO by including relevant keywords and links and it's a source of fresh content as well. It can also help promote you or your company as an expert in the topics you blog about – it gives you the opportunity to share your expertise. Additionally, you can offer your blog as an RSS feed others can subscribe to.
