float problem...

Making responsive design. But why on small screens "Click Me" doesnt move under ".message"? =(

<body>
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="wrapper2">
            <div class="message">Easy & Highly Customizable theme</div>
            <a href="#" class="button">Click Me Click Me</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

.wrapper {
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
}

/*Middle BOX*/
.wrapper2 {
    width: 600px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

.button {
    float: left;
    color: white;
    border: 1px solid black;
    width: 120px;
    background: black;
}

.message {
    float: left;
    font-size: 4em;
    width: 450px;
    background: grey;
}

Sorry, I didn't see the width 600px. When you specify a width the div will remain at 600px even if the window becomes smaller than 600px. You need to set the width of wrapper2 to 100% with your media query.

You need to clear the floats with a media query. Your elements are still wrapping to the left.

But why without 

.wrapper2 {
    width: 600px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

the "click me" elements moves under on small screens?

Should the Float elements move by themself when the screen is small?
