For some reason I can't seem to find help on this from searching the internet... perhaps I'm not wording it well.
I've had this problem come up previously, but for right now it's on this website:
http://merchantbankingresources.com/
You can see in the screenshot that the website is pushed to the left and very narrow. It's on an iPhone 4s.
The proper sizing of the page is controlled by the viewport meta property. Adding something as below to your website's head would scale your website automatically to the device width.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0">
After putting it in, you can make your page occupy whole page with width:100%;.
EDIT- The <ul> in your gform is actually causing the problem. It is rendering to a wrong position.
EDIT- Change the .gform_body css. It gives it a left of 500px
Try adding this code in the HEAD
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta http-equiv="cleartype" content="on" />
I thought this was a classic case of the html, body not wanting to stretch, but the issue lies within the page itself.

When I open my page on mobile, it is automatically zoomed in to probably about 125%. It looks fine when you zoom out, but obviously I want it to open at 100%. I have this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
but was wondering if it's possible that it could be a different issue. My body width and height are currently styled at 100%, but I tried switching to auto and that did not help the zoom effect.
this question has an answer here: Webpage starts zoomed in on mobile devices
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1000">
I had the similar problem and just adding height to the meta tag solved my issue
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" height="device-height" initial-scale="1" , maximum-scale="1" />
I have a problem. On my site http://www.veniria.esy.es when I'm swiping out the navbar, the content should move to the right with the navbar - and it do so - on PC. When I'm trying to swipe out the navbar on smartphone, the whole page scales down, and I don't know why. Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong?
You haven't set up your viewport for mobile. Just add this to your <head>
<meta name=viewport content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
I tested on iPhone and it didn't scale down to me.
However, I noticed the viewport is not mobile friendly.
Try putting this on inside <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
I have tried every variation I can think of to try and get my site to show up correctly on mobile. I've entered these codes into my head tags, but to no avail:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="viewport" id="viewport" content="width=device-width,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=10.0,initial-scale=1.0" />
And all other variations! Nothing makes me able to change the original look of the site on mobile, or allow me to zoom in or out! I have no idea what to do next. If there's ANY advice you guys can give, I'm desperate.

Sounds like you want your site to load as it does on a desktop browser but zoomed out? In that case you want to give your content a constant width that's larger than the screen size:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1024">
This means that your page will layout into a window that's 1024 pixels wide (you can adjust the width to see what looks best). The browser will then zoom out until it fits on the screen.
If you don't specify a viewport <meta> at all, the browser will pick a default width (e.g. 980px).
Try this one here, it should force the correct screen size:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;">
Here is my website, www.offergrind.com
I made it fully non-responsive but the problem is that if we view it in mobile it is displaying the top left part.
Is there any code such as
<meta name="viewport" content="width=SITE_MIN_WIDTH, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
What should i do to make the website to display fit in mobile view ?
Start with this. At minimal, it will make your website fit the device, but everything will be sized down.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
You should also look in CSS pre-processors, I was blown away by how many CSS files you reference.
I would get rid of the viewport meta tag altogether. If your website was not designed to be responsive, it will only make things worse. See this for more:
Stop using the viewport meta tag (until you know how to use it)
Use the below meta tag for your website
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
The meta tag above explains everything:
width="device-width" width of the website is equal to device width
initial-scale=1.0 means the website will not scale to fit the device screen
when we set minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0 and user-scalable=0 means user will not be able to scale the webpage (it will turn off pinch-zooming by setting maximum-scale to 1, or using user-scalable=no. )
I'm having a hard time finding the right viewport that works for all phones. What I'm trying to do here is that my regular website (not mobile) to scale to fit the window without having to pinch zoom out. Any ideas on viewports?
My current is.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
This will work on iPhone.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
How is your website's layout? do you have a specific width for your content (like apple.com)?
if so, use it in your viewport meta tag.
if your website is flexible, like amazon.com for example, use content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" and give body width:100%;. you can do that with a media query if you don't want to affect your desktop version. (http://stephen.io/mediaqueries/)
