    Default new user -- was expecting this to be responsive -- but it is not?

    after using, and reading other posts
    this program is not responsive - but it is ADAPTIVE???????????????????
    anyway - after 30 non-stop hours -- I DO like the program
    (been hand-coding for 30 years -- yes really)

    anyway
    my issue (question) is
    why does the site not switch to Mobile on my mobile?
    if I change the width of my desktop browser - it works just great
    but it does not switch to mobile on my Samsung 8+
    are the new cell phones too high a natural resolution?
    I made 2 variants -- and for the mobile version I tried several different toggle points for the width of the page
    so - to stop wasting time - asking for help here

    thanks!

    ok
    now I KNOW it is not my fault
    I uploaded a site from direct XARA RWD templates
    even THAT does not use the mobile version on my Samsung 8+
    (I use chrome)
    on a hunch -- I DL Firefox
    ta dah ! - it works
    ie mobile version showed up on my cell
    soooooooooooo
    why is chrome the culprit

    where are the other replies I sent in tonight?

    *****************
    I checked my SETTINGS in chrome - expecting something ODD
    and there is nothing there
    BUT
    under the menu options for chrome
    is a checkbox for use desktop
    where did that come from ?????????????
    anyway
    solved

    so
    while we are are here
    what are the best settings for the mobile variant and main variant

    Works in my iPhone and Safari. I would make your menu larger. It does work but it is very tiny.

    Also be sure to name your pages. The home page appears now as index. In the Web Properties > Page section you can add a page title.

    Could I make a few of suggestions as an aside.

    1: Your home page is named as index. Not very informative. How about "Oasis Family Dental Spa - Home"? Better for SEO.
    2: Your home page has the header image:Click image for larger version. 

Name:	export.jpg

ID:	125382 Fine for human visitors, we can read the text in the image as 'Oasis Family Dental Spa', however search engine bots can't, they just see it as: index_htm_files/602.jpg and can't interpolate the text content you and I see. So ensure you use text content within your page, preferably as H1 text, containing web-bot readable content "Oasis Family Dental Spa". At present it only appears as text content in the footer.

    3: Use the Alt text for the image descriptions. i.e. Alt= Oasis Family Dental Spa Logo
