We love the design of our blog and that of our PR agency‘s website. But that’s not all, we at Mirror Communications generally love everything our friends at QBKL release, be it our own websites, new online homes for their clients or their online CV/resume templates. When it comes to designing and developing websites, even more so when implemented on WordPress, we are what you would call QBKL’s groupies

A while back we introduced their Bold online CV/resume template. Since then it has become quite a Themeforest hit and was even included in Envato’s birthday bundle! But it was definitely time for something new from QBKL! They knew it and that’s why yesterday they released MinimalMe, a minimal HTML CV / Resume template. It pretty much is a one-page template that features a unique, clean and minimal approach. It’s easy to use and customize so that your online resume shows off the best possible business presentation of yourself and your services.

MinimalMe, other than looking awesome and being extremely easy to set up, keeps a very important aspect in mind: people like to be special. And their CVs and resumes usually strive to be accurate and convincing, but to also differentiate them. That is why this html template features 130 possible combinations of background patterns and color schemes.

Based on what your hosting packages allows for, you can choose between a fully XHTML based version and  a PHP version that comes with a fully functional AJAX contact form. If you like to dive into the code of any one page website you post online, don’t worry, the template is well documented and you’ll find it extremely easy to customize it to your liking.

More details on how to get the MinimalMe HTML CV / Resume template on Themeforest.

The same can be said when considering the practice of marketing; amidst all the promotion to the wider world it is easy to overlook a key stakeholder group – internal colleagues and suppliers. A curious occurrence, when it is clear that without employees operations would grind to a halt.

Not just that, but without enthusiastic staff who are fully behind the task at hand, know exactly what their role is and how important they are to the business, all the clever marketing in the world would ultimately prove futile. You see, employees are a company’s greatest ambassadors – treat them well and they will pass on this positivity to future customers and staff in a way that is wholly more honest and authentic than any advertising campaign.
