Image hover link not showing up on mobile devices.

On a desktop or laptop my image thumbs on my home page are clickable. However, when I view this on a mobile device it's extremely difficult to be able to click on any of the thumbs.

If I look in the developer tools on a browser I just can't figure out what it is I need to change.

Here is a link to my website: (http://www.studiosinclair.com/)

This is because there is not enough clickable space on the links. To make this more usable u have to give ur links some padding.Go to your css file and select your links that u are having trouble with, and give them a padding of 10px on each side like this

a {
padding: 10px;
}

Mark my answer as the best if i was able to help u

Hey Dan, the problem is that mobile devices and tablets does not have a mouse to hover the images, when you use your finger to try to hover an image it's counted as a click, not hover!

Gotcha! That totally makes sense. I think I meant to word the question differently.
