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 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;">
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.
I have a mobile website but it loads zoomed out. How can I fix this.
You should insert the Viewport meta tag.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
This means that the browser will (probably) render the width of the
page at the width of its own screen. So if that screen is 320px wide,
the browser window will be 320px wide, rather than way zoomed out and
showing 960px (or whatever that device does by default, in lieu of a
responsive meta tag).

You might need to set the viewport
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />

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/)
Basically I have a site at the moment that is width 940px, at the moment I just need this site to be viewable on iPad whilst I begin adding in media queries to tailor the site for each device. Is there a meta tag I can use so that my site scales down when on iPad?
I would use this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
See developer.mozilla.org/en/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag/.
It sets the width and height to the device's width and height, sets the initial zoom to 1, and the maximum zoom to 1 (therefore making the page not zoomable).
EDIT: If you want the page to still be zoomable, remove maximum-scale=1:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
I use this in all my Mobile Sites.
The iPad has a 1024x768 screen. You should be fine before adding in media queries.
