I'm looking to improve the look and feel of my current Free-Space project page, to make it more accessible for folks to look through. I'm looking for suggestions in making the page more accessible and easier to read, as well as possibly using some of the CategoryInfoBox's I've seen other folks use in their FSPs. Please let me know if you have suggestions or feedback! All criticism is welcome and appreciated! smiley

For me the main text starts a screen and half in. I think you need a lede above the contents explaining in 3 or 4 lines what this page is about, and you probably want that to end by prompting an action like "read on to find out more " or "if you'd like to help please see ABC section below"

It takes a lot of reading to find out that this is a project mostly focussed in Devon, and you never mention that the relevant Devon is in England.

It's just text. Are there images you could use to break it up? A nice Conybeare memorial perhaps? A word cloud of the variants? A map of the main locations mentioned? A distribution map of the surname?

The help needed is focussed on a list of individuals, but are there other requests you could make? Do you need help with certain record types, or someone who can visit a specific record office?
