About the CV Download Hero
Sometimes, the main goal of a portfolio page is simply to get a potential employer to download your resume. This hero section is designed to do exactly that. It removes all distractions and focuses on a strong, clear message and an unmissable call-to-action button, complete with a download icon for extra clarity.
Features
- Action-Oriented: The entire design is centered around the primary action of downloading a file.
- Clear Iconography: A lightweight, inline SVG icon is used inside the button to visually communicate the download action.
- Minimalist Design: A clean layout ensures your name, title, and the call-to-action are immediately visible.
- Fully Responsive: Looks sharp and focused on all devices, from desktop to mobile.
Code Breakdown
This component is delivered as CSS for your site's head and HTML for the body.
The layout uses Flexbox to center the content both vertically and horizontally. The download button itself is an a tag, styled to look like a button. To get the icon and text to align properly inside it, the link is also set to display: inline-flex with align-items: center.
The download icon is an inline svg element. This is the best practice for simple icons as it requires no external files or libraries, loads instantly, and can be styled with CSS. You just need to ensure your a tag points to the actual path of your resume file, and add the download attribute to suggest the browser should download the linked file rather than navigating to it.
