What happens if my personal details are long?

The side column is narrow, so if there's a lot the template moves that section to the main column instead of adding pages.

Is Sidebar good for an English biodata?

Very. A two-column layout feels natural in English, which suits families abroad.

Will the side column look empty without a photo?

No, your name and personal details then start at the top of the column.

The person in the sample is fictional.

Photo and personal details in a side column

Sidebar is laid out in two columns, like a modern CV. A deep plum column on the left holds your photo, name and personal details; the white main column holds education, work, family, expectations and contact. It fits a lot on one page without feeling crowded.

What you get

A4, 1 or 2 pages
Bangla and English
PDF, PNG and JPG with correct Bangla

Who is this template for?

Great for people used to writing CVs, or with a lot of education and career detail to show. It's also popular with younger brides and grooms who want something beyond the usual border.

What's included?

Photo, name and personal details in the side column (each label above its value)
Every other section in the main column
The coloured column continues onto page two of the PDF
Very long personal details move to the main column automatically

When to choose Sidebar

Choose Sidebar to fit a lot of information neatly on one page, or to give your biodata a professional look. The coloured column makes it especially good as a PDF or image on a phone.

Tips for the best result

In Sidebar's side column each answer sits under its label, so keep personal details short: "5 ft 4 in", not a sentence. The photo takes the column's full width, so use a portrait photo with a plain background. Education and career get plenty of room in the main column, so feel free to write institutions out in full.
