I have a website which is working well on PC. Now I want it can be displayed on mobile phone like following:
Align left and display only 1024px from left.
The rest part:
1) The rest part can be kept and user just only need to drag to see the content. This will be the best, and if this happen, it is only need to do some zoom in and out work. But I found it is really difficult to make it working properly on all mobile web browsers.
2) Do not display the rest of part. This is also an acceptable option.
Thank you very much if you can give any advice.
Sure you can do almost whatever you want if you adjust your website to be responsive to different screen sizes and user agents. Media queries will help you adapt your website greatly to different screen sizes, media types and orientation
I would highly recommend converting your website in to using Bootstrap. It makes it responsive, so you should not have any trouble with the mobile view at any point.
From the developers view the Bootstrap offers many and much more to the website creation. No need to hazzle around with the percentages or make entire new pages for mobile phones, one page does it all.

I'm building a personal project website. I want to make it so that all devices (including mobile) view the desktop version of the website. Is there a simple way to do this with just HTML and/or CSS? I have seen other questions on here asking the same thing, but none of the responses worked for me.
Asign your widths and heights as percentages for example width: 50% so that it will not have a fixed value.
If you want a navbar, you would probably use flex-box.
Here a good tutorial on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwWHL3RyQgk
I created a page in html page from my PC here is the link http://evaluations.tk/.
My question is do I have create separate page for both mobile and pc, if I have to create separate page then how can I set different previews for pc and phone. For testing I added meta tag but when I see that page on phone it make the objects very large. Can anyone help me...
No need to change in program.but you need to apply bootstrap css to all pages.
Bootstrap basically does is adjust the size of page as per the size of the screen..
Thanks Vote :P
Like Yogesh Suthar's answer; bootstrap is your friend when dealing with responsiveness of your websites. By the use of the column grid structure, you can make your site responsive to different screen sizes. If you would like to have some more customisation, you can also create bootstrap-like behaviour with css by employing media queries (e.g. #media screen and (min-width: 400px){color: red;}). Basically, you define the layout for mobile first and then gradually add styling for larger screen sizes.
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?
I need to put together website for mobile devices, so iPhones and various androids. The problem is I struggle with getting viewport right and other settings. My goal is so webpage would be coded for specific width e.g. 640px wide. Then once open device would zoom it in/out to the width of the screen so everything became larger or smaller same like after zoomig in/out via pinching on the device screen.
So I would like to develop it for lets say 640px width and depending on device it would scale up or down once open. So if device screen would be 960px wide it would automatically scale to this width via viewport somehow. Is this possible at all to have it coded for predefined width in css and have zoomed in/out as needed by device itself?
I apologize if the question is too generic, will explain details if needed.
EDIT:
So the most common approach if I understand correctly is to provide few layout versions for most commons screen sizes? Using media queries in css provide different values for widths, fonts sizes etc is that right?
If I decide however to go with percentages rather than media queries, given the design provided I think still would have a problem with resizing fonts as layout has images with text in it and text needs to be proportional to the image. Also percentages would take care of widths, height might be an issue though as the images would have to be resized vertically too. Some parts of the design would need to "fit" each other it seems and it would become problem I think.
Now if I simply build a website of certain width, lets say 640px I should be able to position everything on the screen with pixels, no diffeent from normal non-mobile website.
So I tried to set <meta name="viewport" content="width=640"> and inside of a page set width of widest container in css to 640px making page width 640px basically. If I understand correctly it will set up viewport to exact width of the page. So the page would be build as any other non-mobile webpage. User will have to adjust scale by pinching as when the page opens it is usually zoomed in/out for some reason. Is my understanding of what is happening here correct or is there some problem with it. Having it predefined size takes care of different mobile screen sizes as viewport is always same, fits into page width and only scale seems the problem, that is unless I'm missing something here.
I also should have mentioned that I need to do only portrait and make it only option, so no landscape view (that will be another question).
Would love to know your thoughts and I appreciate all the answers so far.
This is called Responsive Web Design when a website adjusts according to screen size...
You can make this kind of responsive website easily through CSS3 Media Queries:

Specify the width in percentage say width=100%,which automatically adjusts the width with the screen.
I like to use a lot of unique graphics on my pages, which often results in making different page sizes depending on available screen width/height.
Here are two examples:
http://www.uvm.edu/~areid/homesite/ - the image floats at the bottom of my screen but on a larger browser, the image floats near the middle making it look off. It looks best when the bottom of the window aligns with the bottom of the image
www.stevenlebel.com - it loads two different pages depending on what monitor size is detected.
This seems like a lot of redundant coding. My question is, how can I make sliced/Photoshop images transition well to different screen sizes. Does Photoshop allow you to make DIVS instead of tables?
Can i make each of the slices created by Photoshop grow/shrink when the browser window size changes?
If anyone has any input on creating websites like this I would be very interested to hear what they have to say.
Thanks

Using a combination of media queries with properly selected breakpoints, sprites or individual images, and even a library like foresight.js you can achieve the results you're looking for.
The media queries will allow you to set up your site for different screen groups with breakpoints set to cover most tablets, phones, etc. You could then load a different image version from a sprite or a separate image entirely. Finally, foresight.js will look at screen resolution and available bandwidth to load higher resolution images for retina browsers if so desired.
set the page size as
.page
{
width:100%
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
Take a tour on mediaqueri.es and find out how others have solved your problem and don't forget dribbble also. I think you know about web designing for PCs, others are smart phones, tablets and TVs. Get some basic understanding of the user interfaces of apps on mobile OSes. Read the Android Design, App Design Strategies for iOS and Designing UX for apps for Windows 8. After that I think you'll have a proper design to solve your question. Then learn about css3 media queries, start coding with html5boilerplate and start from the mobile design. Good luck!
