The codes I've faved can be found here but tbh nowadays my long-term goal is just to switch all my bios to That One Code (example IC)! It's mostly just a cheap P2U HTML I customized because I'm a very visual person and I love image heavy-ish profiles.
Things I like about it:
Wiki-like structure that allows me to add/remove sections super easily without breaking the layout or making it feel empty at places. Sometimes my profiles need a "trivia" section, sometimes they don't, sometimes they need a "powers and abilities" section, sometimes they don't, etc. It's important to me to have a lot of freedom regarding profile content while still keeping some sort of consistency across all my bios.
"Flat" layout; I personally prefer to use layouts that display all the written content in one go for my profiles, without any tabs or scrolling boxes. Idk how long my bios would be considered on average (I've seen much shorter ones, I've seen much longer ones, I like to think I try to keep them accessible enough but people will always find excuses to not read them anyways so whatevs haha), but that's what I'm the most comfortable with
Image carrousel!! With my fave characters especially I always have too many art pieces to choose from when it comes to that column image thingy, so it's good to be able to pick as many of them as I want haha
Custom colour + pattern bg + aesthetic images; as I said, I'm a very visual person and love how this layout allows me to heavily customize each profile using colours and images that fit the vibe of each character. I don't use CSS because I don't really want to run the risk of some users seeing a bare-bones or even broken version of my layouts so yeah that's the best I can do with HTML-only profiles I think
The only thing I'm not a super fan of is how the relationships section is formatted since it can look super unbalanced depending on how many characters you add to it and how much text you write in each mini profile but that's something I can live with
It's SUCH a good layout too!! I used to se a similar one in the past but in my case I noticed people got overwhelmed by all my text being on one page, so I opted for tabs to make the first impression less intimidating. I have since began making my profiles a little shorter, but I still think especially with my history sections getting long it's a safer bet to use tabs.
I think your profiles are the perfect length though and really benefit from the layout you use, the wikia style in itself is such a comfortable formatting and makes it easy to follow!! :--)
