Developer here. Thanks for all the great feedback. VisualCV was actually a really old rails project (built in 2007) that we inherited and completely rebuilt last year.
Our goal for the project is to focus on how to present professional information visually and with UX techniques that we've learned from web development. To us, most resumes are stuffed with a lot of insubstantial text. We wanted to instantly see numbers, results and achievements in a glance. Recruiters generally take a few seconds to screen for key information and indicators of success and we wanted to present all those info with nice visual hierarchy and make it a pleasure to view. Admittedly, I don't think our current designs have hit those targets as well as I've hoped but we do have some exciting designs in the pipeline.
As you browse through the database you might notice that some of the resumes look a bit messy (they are the black on white design with sidebar images). These are mostly legacy users that we had to migrate to our new platform. Their previous resumes looked something like this: http://legacy.visualcv.com/ http://legacy.visualcv.com/
