I've noticed that on the website display of information (Spells, Items, Monsters, etc.) are all in a static formatting style. This means that if I reduce or expand the web page size, the spacing of sentences and columns remain the same size. Since computer and smart phone screens come in all sizes, I feel that adaptive spacing would be more useful than hard-coded sizing.
As an example, some of the monsters listed have columns in their Saving Throws, Skills, Damage, Senses, Languages section which are totally static. Adaptive spacing would allow for 5 or more columns on wider screens (or smart phones/tablets turned sideways) and 3 or less on smaller screens. On the computer, enlarging or shrinking the web page does NOT change the number of visible columns.
I've also noticed that the columns sometimes are 4 wide while others are 3 wide...due to excessive buffer spacing between each column. Having 7 spaces as a buffer compared to only 4 makes a big difference.
This also applies to the Actions section. Sentences there are hard-coded formatted. Increasing the size of the screen does NOT change the word-wrap properties of each sentence.
