Designed site, looks great on desktop and laptop, and when I adjust screen on those, responds perfectly BUT when I look

when I look at the site on ipad or iphone, its jacked up. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct? I have spent yesterday and today tweaking the media queries and NOTHING! I am lost and getting twerked.

I have images as backgrounds for my <section> tags and the images are what are not laying out right in the tablet and phone.

ok first of all the image is huge. Did you notice everything moving as you adjusted the screen? you have width sizes. one of the ways to fix it is with @media screen css styles for multiple screen sizes. You can apply different layout option based upon device size. This is best for getting a total customizes look for every device.

Really hard to do with nothing to go on. Is the site live, or can you put the code on Codepen and link it over here?

I messed around there wee bit more just take the height off where you have text. I would also use a different color than blue for you images background. Also is the .imgtext ment to be where it is?

okay, the text on top of the images are placed in different areas. I did not want the text to be in the same location for all images. I think if I can figure out why the images are not appearing properly, then the text will render like the regular site. The site is just simply a scrolling site, couple of different sections, its not a parallax site, just a simple scrolling site.

you should always start with the mobile design first. Built from simple to complicated. Otherwise you have to use percent calculations
