Remove the driven individual line and dong rate your skills

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean remove the entire line and just have the name, or just remove the phrase "driven individual"? I suppose I'll try to be less conservative with my proficiency levels, but I will not lie about my skills.
Can you tell me why having one column is better? Personally, I find this way separates my skills and education from my experience rather nicely and highlights everything a recruiter would want to know. If anything, I don't see how it's a negative. I guess that's what I'm wondering.

Sounds good, thank you. So I should just display the bootcamp/certificatation school?

Thanks for the feedback. Huh, I appreciate you explaining your reasoning. That's very interesting. I will do that!

-
remove the columns, use one
-
your name doesn't need to be 50x bigger than everything else
-
remove the skill bars, they are a joke
-
remove your k-12 education, nobody cares where you went to kindergarten and definitely not an employer
-
make all your fonts the same

I appreciate the feedback. I will take care of those issues.
However, the K-12 is kindergarten through high school (K grade through 12th grade). Should I just list "High School" instead, or still remove that entirely and just display the bootcamp?

I have worked on three websites (also lots of software and automation scripts, games, etc), but I only list my studio site because it is the only one that is finished and the only one that has a backend. The others were business websites for my father that have since been put on the backburner. I would still bring these up as a response in an interview, but I thought it would be best to not list them since they are not nearly in a state to be shown off without forewarning.
I also didn't list any related professional experience because I don't have any.
Here are a few images of my website. I'd share the actual website, but I try to avoid tying any identifiable info to my social media accounts for privacy reasons. https://imgur.com/a/RkVKepK

One column

- terrible template, use a better one
- remove the line under name
- don't self-assess skills
- use bullet points

Understood. Thanks for the feedback!

It's decent as a magazine spread. Don't consider using it to submit an online application. '

Is this a resume or a brochure for a new prescription drug?
Lol. A resume is just a brochure selling a laborer, no?
I could definitely remove the margins. They came with the initial template, and I never really thought to remove them. They really aren't necessary and just take up space.
