    Hi Guys and Gals,

    I work with http://www.chipcave.com and it has been great. But recently the mobile version of our site has been so messed up and I cannot figure it out.

    I would appreciate any help that I can get to try to get this fixed as soon as possible. I would love to hear also how you came to your conclusion so next time I can use some deductive reasoning myself

    Cheers!

    There's a mobile version? It's not even a responsive layout... or elastic... or semi-fluid...

    Unless you have some separate site for mobile hidden at some other URL, what exactly are you expecting that mess of "accessibility, what's that" to do?

    Well I meant there was a white space to the right which I was able to narrow down the the H3 element in the footer. After changing the min-height property to zero, I was able to eliminate the white space so that instead of showing up in the top left corner of a mobile browser where everything was so zoomed out the website spans across the entire screen.

    But thanks for the help!

    just tried it now, and looks like you solved it.

    Not to sure I follow your explanation. You might be better to divert users to a specially designed mobile site, at least this way changes to the desktop version, will be independent to the mobile version.

    I thought it looked ok - but it's clearly not responsive or meant to be viewed on a phone and the grey on grey will be hard to read.

    I'd be fixing that pretty quickly, when the blokes are throwing back beers and talking in the pub and someone mentions your site they will check it out then and there and if it's hard to read they're gone, and probably won't come back.

    That's assuming guys work the same way as girls, anyway. I certainly know when I'm with the girls and we're talking about things we've just bought/discovered/want we'll have our phones out for a bit of show and tell.

    Thanks for the comments!

    We are working on a more responsive design and launching it piece by piece. Unfortunately it would be just too expensive/time consuming to do a complete overhaul at once. I would guess that over the next 6-12 months our site will be completely responsive.
