A strong resume should make the most relevant information easy to scan. Clear hierarchy, concise bullets and consistent formatting usually matter more than decorative graphics.
Start with name and contact details, then a short summary when it adds value. Put the most relevant experience before less important sections. Education, skills and projects can move depending on your experience level and the role.
Use concise bullets that explain what you did, the tools or scope involved, and the result when you can support it. Avoid filling space with generic statements. Two or three strong details are usually easier to scan than a paragraph.
Use readable type, consistent dates, aligned spacing and predictable headings. A one-page resume is often useful for early-career applicants, while experienced candidates may need more space. Do not shrink text so much that the document becomes difficult to read.

Not always. One page is common for early-career resumes, but relevant experience can justify additional space.
That depends on the country, industry and application norms. Follow the expectations of the role and location.
