Mobile Display Question

Hi I have this site

www.punchdartsclassic.co.uk

and although not responsive I would like it load in the middle of the viewport and scaled to fit a mobile device when it loads.

I am using

meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes">

But it just looks odd on mobile devices

Can anyone help please.

Hi Graham,

The mobile browser will scale it to the device width, but since you have #container set to a fixed width of 960px, the layout will still "slide" in and out of the viewport.

Create a breakpoint for it, or adjust it so that the layout is fluid for better results.

Hope this helps :)

@Graham Your viewport is fine. I think your classics.png is too wide.

Hey Graham,

No need for Bootstrap. You can do something quick & simple, like this: http://codepen.io/Treehouse/pen/yFquh

This is a quick example I whipped up using your code –– hope you don't mind :)
