Website doesn't land properly when opened
So when you land on the website, depending on your screen size, it doesn't always open properly. See screen shot.
What can I do to make sure that it moves into the center of the screen, or that the content is moved to the right a bit when it opens?
Thanks much,
Sue

I can duplicate the appearance of your screen grab by resizing my Firefox browser window (horizontally making it narrower) and if I continue to resize it gets about half way over the B of Beard before changing to the mobile variant. It looks like you only have the two variants. Perhaps a third size in between would help?
Re: Website doesn't land properly when opened
BK is spot on Sue. From what I can see your Main site is 1120px wide. Any particular reason to use this width? People often feel on designing a website that they need to create one that fills their home monitor at full screen. That's okay if you are creating a responsive website, but Xara doesn't create responsive websites it creates adaptive websites (variants). So unless you wish to create several variant sizes I'd suggest creating your main website pages @ around 1000px wide and a single mobile variant @ around 480 wide.
Ask yourself this question: With my large monitor, how many sites do I browse in full-screen, I suspect very few and those that you do only have a main content of about 1000-1200px wide regardless of the browser width (They may have stretchy images etc but the main content normally resides within the 1000px region).
I'd suggest resizing your main page down to 960-1000px and see if this solves your problem.

That's true, BKjohns, except that what confuses me that it lands on my tablet perfect!

Re: Website doesn't land properly when opened
Egg, I'm not sure why I made it that size, perhaps to fit the content on the pages better..not sure.
Thanks for the suggestion. I just wrote in response to BKJohns, and it baffles me that it lands perfectly onto a tablet!
Good thoughts!
I have another question about presentation sites..will ask it separately!

Did it and you both were right!
Thanks bunches,

Re: Website doesn't land properly when opened
Sue, I believe it works on your tablet as mobiles and tablets have the in-built ability to resize a page to fit.
