Problem with appearance once loaded onto domain

Hello everyone,

Bit of a problemo with the 'smells like bakin' site once loaded to my domain. I've followed everything so far and the site renders perfectly in my browser locally, but seems all over the place once uploaded via ftp to my domain.

It's located at www.sambalaam.co.uk

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Sam

If I had to guess, I'd say it sounds like a permissions issue.

The specifics of how to change permissions depends on your exact setup. However here are some instructions on how to change permissions using the Filezilla FTP client

Make sure grid.css & normalize.css have their permissions set to 644.

Thanks James,

I checked out the permissions and all were 644. I still have no idea why it didn't work but it all seems fine now that I have copied the grid.css into the main style.css file.

Solved it. Grid.css not working for some reason?

Created a workaround by copying the grid.css into the top of the style.css and deleting grid.css.

Not sure why this problem came about but if anyone can help that would be great.
