On this I disagree. The content is static as opposed to a catalog site, or a portal, or news aggregator, or discussion board, etc. I don't see any advantage to serving the pages up on the fly, and there certainly would be a performance hit. The filters mentioned earlier in this thread are basically dynamic index pages.The second part of your suggestion is one that I'm conflicted about. Should I break the data up into many small pages? The obvious advantage to doing this would be smaller downloads per page. But there are advantages to larger pages also, namely browsability. I've often browsed through feats for instance. That would mean a LOT of clicking if they were all on separate pages.So the pages I've considered breaking up are:- Monsters- Spells- Classes (including Prestige Classes)- Skills- Feats- Magic ItemsThe deciding factor so far has been the size of the individual entries. Each monster, spell, & class entry is a fairly large block of text, possibly meriting it's own page. Skills are borderline. Feats & magic items are often small, and therefore out.I haven't completely decided to break up any page. The SRD pages are currently organized almost identically to the official RTF documents. This may be helpful to those already familiar with that organization.I'm also not overwhelmingly concerned with individual page size. If someone finds the site to be a useful game supplement, I would hope they would consider the shareware subscription. I provide a nicely packaged and edited local version of the site for subscribers that performs very well.I’d love to hear opinions on all of this of course.systemreferencedocuments.org is a fine site, and TheRaven was kind enough to offer hosting my SRD project there, but I have a professional relationship with my current hosting provider and I am very happy with their services.BTW - I like your site very much. I plan on only including fantasy genre SRD/OGL content on my site. It's nice to see all the bases are covered!</blockquote>
