Proportions with different devices

Hi I am having trouble getting proportions of the navigation menu i made right with the rest on the content on my page. When I resize the window on my laptop to a mobile size, the navigation is much larger then the navigation window that appears when I open the workspace on my phone. If I try to resize the window on my laptop to match my phone, the content of my page will be much wider and smaller then that of the phone. Furthermore, when I test the workspace html file on websites such as http://www.studiopress.com/responsive/ the display for the mobile size is completely not what I get on my phone, On my phone I get what looks like a condenced version of my site as it looks when it is on full screen on my laptop. I hope this make sense

Check your viewport tag. You have initial-scale-1.0. Should be initial-scale=1 . Also width-device-width should be width=device-width. That should fix the condensing problem on your phone you're talking about.
