    My site loads ok on a laptop screen but on the edit page I have to stagger the text to get it to fit in on my 2014 theme fine can deal with that but when I look at it on a 7″ Ipad it staggers the text and puts the sidebar underneath . On 10″ android tablet it fits a bit better with sidebar present but the text is still staggered . Appreciate any pointers

    I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/twentyfourteen so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    OK, you can’t use spaces to try & get your text formatted correctly. As you’ve found out, once the screen dimensions change, then those spaces aren’t where you put them because the text flows to adjust to the new screen width.

    So the first thing that I would do is to remove all of those extra spaces that you are using to format your text.

    Then, I would use HTML tags to create your bullet lists. In your page editor, make sure you have the Text tab selected instead of the Visual tab. Change the list so it looks like this (be sure to remove all extra spaces):

    <ol>
    <li>Electrical repairs and fault finding</li>
    <li>Rental property electrical repairs</li>
    <li>Letting agents & private landlords services</li>
    <li>Electrical Equipment testing. (PAT)</li>
    <li>Emergency repairs and callout</li>
    <li>Intruder Burglar alarm repair ,modifications and servicing.</li>
    </ol>

    The ol tags create an Ordered List. The li tags define each item in the ordered list, numbering them automatically.

    Once you have that down, then let me know what kind of spacing you want, i.e., why did you add all of those spaces in the first place? Was it to separate the text from the image better? There are other was of doing that rather than using space characters.

    Hi, Andy:

    The numbered list looks great, but the first paragraph still has a lot of extra spaces in it. You can see all of the extra spaces if you look at it on a mobile phone or if you make your browser the same width as a mobile phone.

    If you need to make This includes the following:- on a separate paragraph from the line above it, then you can enclose your paragraphs inside paragraph tags like this (again, be sure the Text tab is selected instead of the <strong<Visual tab):

    Again many thanks Crouch you are a superstar it fits great only problem is mt SEO has went from green to orange so will have some work to do as it has highlighted

    There are 192 words contained in the body copy, this is below the 300 word recommended minimum. Add more useful content on this topic for readers.
    The keyword density is 0%, which is a bit low, the keyword was found times.
    The copy scores 45.9 in the Flesch Reading Ease test, which is considered difficult to read. Try to make shorter sentences, using less difficult words to improve readability.
    The page title contains keyword / phrase, but it does not appear at the beginning; try and move it to the beginning.
    No subheading tags (like an H2) appear in the copy.
