 * Use the viewport meta tag.

 * I’m not sure if that will do, lets say the problem in a different way…
 * I move the web horizontally in the screen, I mean with just one finder I can 
   move the whole web to the left and only a part will be visible now and I see 
   a horizontal scroll bar, it’s like my canvas it’s bigger than my screen and I
   can move around. I guess the web should fit the screen in mobile version? What
   did I do wrong this time? 🙂
 * Thank you,
    Alex

 * It sounds like you have elements that exceed the width of the viewport. Best 
   case: Find the element(s) that are too wide and resize them.
 * You could also try adding this css: body { overflow-x: hidden; } It might do 
   the trick, but the above solution is preferred.

   you!

 * I’m still working on some parts but it happens it all of them, it’s quite embarrassing
   since I have done it myself with zero knowledge so I guess I messed up in more
   than one place.
