The bio layout I have for most dragons is pretty minimalist but it’s more because I’m not confident enough to code extra stuff onto it
I don't use coding at all, my bios are simply stories written in plain text.

ideally? i'd want a fancy code, since they look rly pretty and "aesthetic"
realistically? i use a more simple format bc i cant design things even if my life depended on it

If I can wrap my head around it... it's always gonna be in a minimalist style. I know BBCode to the point I can make OK-looking stuff, but not a wizard. Also I want to both kiss and strangle columns - they have a tendency to be crap on mobile. And, I'm mostly on mobile. Anyways...
Basically, it has a lot of text and possibly only one picture - I can now do moodboards with one app, I could use that for an advantage. Possibly FR-items with the "Item=" code.
But as of looking at others bios, I don't care if it's full of stuff, or straight-forward. Do what you want [emoji=tundra winking size=1]

I use a variety! The ones I code myself I wouldn't call too fancy nor to minimalist but sometimes I go full out with those f2u bio codes and sometimes I'm too tired to do anything but a few page breaks (?) and columns

ngl i lowkey hate both
one is too cluttered the other for some reason needs to have the tiniest light colored font that i'm not reading due to my bad sight
i'm just using the basic text editor to make something i guess, what category does it fit? who knows, not me, i just want to show art most of the time

Depends on the dragon. But I code all my own stuff so I say I'm pretty good at coding both minimalist and fancier stuff. I just have a lot of info I wanna fit together so usually minimalism doesn't work.

:D We very much prefer minimalist bios. An image or two is fine but the focus should be on the lore or art not 50 different tiny fonts and images and colours in all directions.

Depends what it is that I'm doing. Usually I try to match the site as much as possible, use only black, gray, and whatever dark red text color I have saved in the normal default font.
The only exception to my usual boring ways is when I need to make it look pretty, like my dragon bios or lore threads. Then I'll go ahead and add images/dividers in there, but I try to balance it out between pictures and words.

I can appreciate the fancy code ones as a testament to coding skill and getting way down deep into the super detailed bits of character development with their 40 little tidbit boxes to adjust for each dragon, but trial and error has shown me that I don't have the patience for that. I basically go minimalist with just enough touching up that it doesn't look like nothing but unformatted text.
