Mobile first design vs actual mobile screen not happening...

Brought my site live and, found that my mobile phone picks up my site like it were a full browser screen.

I built it with media queries building up from what was supposed to be the mobile version. On a computer you can play with the browser size and it works like it should.

I feel like I'm missing something in the code that would recognize a small screen device.

I put this bit of code in which I thought would take care of the problem...

        <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1”>

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Very bizaare, I changed the quotation marks around that line of code and it fixed the problem. They were the only quote marks at a slant, not sure why but, that fixed it.

It also depends on what browser your cell phone uses. Although if you're using an iPhone or an Android, it should technically work...
