I've been looking into using the resume.json schema to hold my resume data, as there are a number of sites which will generate some very crisp templates for you if you have the patience to fill out all of the fields (I can only work on it in short bursts, it is quite tedious).

I also have decided that the one-page resume thing is BS. I felt like it was hurting me because I worked as a consultant for a large part of my career and there were a lot of impressive projects that I played a pivotal role in creating.

If you have a lot of experience, all your information might not fit into one page. But, you should aim to be concise, as recruiters usually don't have time to read through all the resumes, especially if they're long. I reckon two pages is the limit.
