I'm trying out one of the responsive themes (Canvas) for a client. This project is not a rush due to his live site being one of the FREE website sites and it's not what he thought it would be.

Here's a link to a test site: http://www.mytestblog.net/test/

When I reduced my browser size all the way down the site looked good. (I thought.)

Then I used my phone and found the site didn't look good at all. I went back to my browser and then saw there was a scroll bar on the bottom when the browser was reduced. If you look on a phone you will see what I'm talking about.

On my phone it 'breaks' the menu as well.

I'm thinking it might be easier to just start in RLM and rebuild the theme from scratch. (Unless I'm missing something obvious.)

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ernie

PS We have a neighborhood cook out this evening so no rush and I'll check the forum sometime this weekend.

Hey Ernie,

Just checked on my phone... looks good. I think that the design is responsive however if want the menu to remain in the light brown bar you will have to customize the css a little further. Right now it just uses an image for the footer and it is not responsive.

You will have to locate the media query at that small size and hide that image. Create a new image that is thicker and display it.

If it were me doing this job I would switch to RLM... just much easier to manipulate the contents.

Steve,

That's what I'm thinking, RLM.

On my phone the Contact button is pushed down under the home button and the entire site is moved to the left side with extra space on the right.

I think I'll just start with RLM next week and do it that way.

I checked this theme and a couple of others some time ago, and they were lacking some styling of the top bar and the footer at the point where the horizontal scrollbar appears (about 1016px wide). Don't remember the details now. The navigation is just a list, not a responsive menu.
You can choose to code the missing bits manually - or use MB and RLM. The latter is probably easier.

Inger,

That's kind of what I noticed about the theme.

As far as the menu, it actually works down to around 700 + px. I think I'm just going to start from scratch with RLM since I already have the background image and a general idea of the theme.

My client likes this look so it will be easy to replicate it in RLM along with some extras like a WOW slider.
