making menu responsive and images adaptive - html

I've made a prototype of my photography website and I want to convert it to HTML and CSS, the part I'm struggling with the most is the responsive part of the site. I have some images in it, which should adapt their size according to the screen size, and a sidebar menu, which should later convert to a sandwich menu.
I finished the prototype of the site and started to code, though I thought it would be a good idea to start making my web responsive from the beginning, so I won't need to change everything in the future.

bootstrap 4, narrow viewport, navigation escapes to the right - desperate novice needs advice

Please forgive my ignorance. I'm not really a coder. I'm a laid off graphic designer desperately trying to get my portfolio a little more polished than the wordpress site I had.
I've rebuilt from what Dreamweaver puts in when you start a new page with bootstrap 4. I've managed to get a lot customized with some help on here.
But I've broken something in the process, because it was working well until recently.
When I narrow the page, at some point in between the most narrow and a normal desktop size, the navigation exceed the container. When I view the site on my phone in landscape this is the default. I've taken a screenshot (further below) but I also have linked the site directly below.
Is this a media-query thing? I just don't even know where to look for this issue to resolve it.
My site, such as it is
Also!
Not as crucial but I'd love to fix.
a. How can I make the black band under the navbar stretch to the entire screen when it is at it's most narrow?
b. Is there a way (that I can manage without screwing things up) to make the container holding my banner and the navigation be black all across at it's most broad?
Thanks in advance!

Aligning headers/footers using responsive styles

Check out my site here to see the issue across different size screens and on mobile.
I originally used the Luna theme in Bigcartel, having modified parts to make it bespoke to our brand. Whilst doing so the Luna responsive theme no longer worked... having not changed it one bit (Something in my actual code must have caused it to stop working)...;it would just show a blank white screen (mobile).
I then copied and used the responsive style of a separate theme, which causes my site to act like the normal site on a mobile etc... however the headers/footers are all out of place and mis-sized. I have tried changing all widths to %, but have failed to notice any differences. I had managed to change the size of the flexslider.. so that now it works but I am struggling to change the size of the other major components on the page (including navigation bar).
I am reluctant to post any code in here as of yet... as I'm not sure what to include (I dont want to include all the responsive styles), but perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Site is not displayed correctly on smart phone size screen

Used foundation for the first time as i thought it was an easy way to make a responsive site for all resolutions.
Not responsive at all. I would not say i am knowledgeable regarding web design but i understand how things work.
The site works down to an ipad and looks great however on the smart phone it falls to pieces, background image does not fill screen and nav menu is split onto two lines.
Any advice?

Website background responsive

Im using this code:
body {
background-image:url('http://evoxity.net/modules/themeconfigurator/img/bgen.jpg')!important;
background-repeat:no-repeat!important;
-webkit-background-size:cover!important;
-moz-background-size:cover!important;
-o-background-size:cover!important;
background-size:fixed!important;
background-position:center!important;
}
I tried to create it responsive and its workign so far but it should be more static. My problem is, that my website software doesnt feature container background by default and im not that deep into css to do it by my self so i decided to create it on the background.
Now i would like to work with #media but i also would like to get this background keeping how it is even if i add the windwos bar to the right/left site of the browser.
I used a module for that website software to create backgrounds and it can implement them in css as well but i dont know the id of it so i cant modify it with css. Thats the reason why i do it now by my own.
To get the question on a point again. If you have a 1920x1080 resolution screen and drag your windows bar to one of the sites, the background moves but it should stay static and just get cuttet on the right site than it works.

side nav background shrinks while content doesn't

I'm making a quick and dirty website for a university wed design module. The website isn't intended to work but instead to be used as a tool to demonstrate how the proposed design would look and operate.
I have used a bootstrap template and things have gotten a bit messy.
The Problem:
I have a navigation bar on the left of each page with an image as a background. if i re-size my browser window the content remains the same height (as it should) but the background disappears from the bottom.
here's a link to the website:

I don't know if this is due to poorly formed HTML or a css issue. any help would be greatly appreciated.
This has to do with bootstrap because it makes it able to use the layout on your phone.
the lower the width the more it's going to move to phone version.
