What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Two columns with a dark rail
- Includes an avatar or photo
- Headings with no rule
- Dates in their own left column
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, font, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching template later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
Using Lagoon as a CV
Lagoon carries a photo, which is what a continental European CV expects alongside the personal details a British one leaves out. For the UK, Ireland or Australia, turn the photo off in Customize — the layout closes up around it and the rest of the page is unchanged.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Lagoon the right choice?
Who it suits
Care work, education and non-profits — teal reads as approachable where navy reads as corporate, and the dated column keeps a varied history clear.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns with a filled rail. Check the extracted order before sending.
At two pages
The date column holds; the rail does not. Best at one page.
Use something else if
Verbena for a greener version, or Dublin for the serif equivalent.
