Webpage starts zoomed out on mobile devices - css

Question

I have created a website for desktop and mobile, and it has to be responsive. My problem is that when I resize the browser all the content gets zoomed out instead of adapting. I also have an issue with the HTML. why is it only taking up 1/3 of the page according to dev tools and when I add width:1100px to my sections it renders the desktop version, but when I take it away it floats to the left side? Why is this happening?

Answer 1

Some issues I noticed:
The horizontal scrollbar opens when the screen width is reduced after the web page is loaded; This situation is not suitable for responsive design. To avoid this situation, add overflow-x: hidden to the <body> I used the style.
You should use media queries to make a mobile responsive website. In this example I've edited the <img> element to remove it when the page shrinks.
I completely removed the width: 1100px style you added to the elements. You don't need to use this type to give width to the element.
On mobile-responsive websites, <img> elements are displayed on the new line at 100% width; you can implement this idea by using media queries at this stage.
You can visit this link for media query blocks according to the display size of the devices in CSS.
For example, the styles in #media only screen and (max-width: 880px){} are applied when the page size drops below 880px:

Answer 2

For making your website responsive you need to use media queries. It's like you tell the browser how to style your website in different sizes. I think your problem with your sections might also get solved if you try to make your website responsive.
