Key features on site not working on mobile -- HELP!

Hey, I created a freelance site that looks great in the browser, but when I pull it up on my phone, major components are not workings.

The site is: livingnaturaljewelry.com

When pulling it up on mobile the landscape photo on the about page is not styled, the gallery plugin that I used (http://jgallery.jakubkowalczyk.pl/) does not work at all despite supposedly being mobile compatible, and one of the headlines that I have styled to not show on mobile, shows.

I have tried pulling this up on Safari on my computer, since thats the same browser that I have on my phone - just to see if it was a browser related issue, but that doesn't seem to be it...

Can anyone help on this? I am stumped!

Hey buddy some plugins although it says they work on mobile you have to do some settings to make the mobile friendly, try also wrapping the element on a div and making the width :90% (so there is space for margins)

Thanks for the advice. It actually turned out that it was a browser issue on my phone - something weird must have been cached. I dl'ed chrome for my phone and it looked fine. Then I cleared my cache in safari and it pulled up fine. I should know better, but I guess it goes to show that we shouldn't forget about the simple things when troubleshooting! I definitely wasted a good hour or two playing with the code haha. Oh well, just glad that it works now.
