Try setting a width on your #wrapper selector rather than max-width.

I'm on Build Navigation with Unordered Lists section. The problem is, whenever I resize my windows, my entire website gets smaller for mobile friendly, I don't want it, I want to be able to scroll vertically and horizontally without my website's size changing.
