Hey everyone I recently built a site oacbahamasinc.org I used media queries. When I test the site on my computer it works fine. I adjusts when I resize the screen. However when I open it on my phone I get the regular site.
I am sure that I am missing something here. What do I need to use other than media queries to make my website mobile friendly.

You just need to put this code inside your header in the html to make it work:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
All the best,
Ede
