Suggestions for French numbers tutorial?

I've realised that this single page on numbers in French is being used more than 2,000 users per day:

http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/tutorials/numbers/

So as a single page with that volume of use, I'm thinking maybe it's due for a revision. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It would be perhaps usefull to improve the readability of this page.

The page deals only with integers which are the most used numbers but not with decimal numbers.

Numbers are seldom used without units. A conversion table (or a tool like the one to spell number) between French and US/UK units could be usefull.

There is a lot you can do with this page.
I think there is too much information for one page. Going to multiple pages would free up the learning space.

Tables are a good way to show patterns in the numbers. Also the use of coloured text to show the similarities in patterns would be beneficial.

Thinking of higher numbers in terms of multiplication of lower level numbers can help learners remember what
they are. For example 4 x 20 = 80. (quatre fois vingt = quatre-vingt). This can be useful if you know quatre and vingt.
