Who the Sidebar Pro template is for
If you are among candidates in tech, product, marketing and startups where a contemporary look signals current thinking, Sidebar Pro is designed for exactly that. Two-column layout with a left sidebar for contact details and skills, and a wide main panel for experience and education.
Why this layout works
Generous whitespace and a clear accent colour that guides the eye without the decorative noise that confuses parsers.
ATS performance
Sidebar Pro scores 87/100 in NextCV's ATS analyser — a strong result that balances visual character against machine readability.
At 87/100 it is the highest-scoring of the 3 modern templates in NextCV — 5 points ahead of Nova Dark at 82. Across the full 29-template library that is a mid-table score — deliberate, since this layout prioritises how it looks to a person.
Pricing
Sidebar Pro is a premium template, unlocked with a single one-time purchase of ₹19 (down from ₹149) — not a subscription. Once unlocked it stays available across every device you sign in on, and exports carry no watermark.
Tip for the Modern format
Keep the accent colour to headings and rules only. Coloured body text reduces contrast and prints poorly.
Run the ATS check before you send it — the analyser flags missing keywords against the specific job description you are targeting.
