I designed a form and hooked it to a web form and published both. Lakeeriehaven.com
Form displays in Contact page but on a device, when U click on input field form expands as if it was being displayed on a desktop. Any ideas what I did wrong?

I opened it on my iPhone, and it did not expand like you're describing. Maybe you need to clear your cache?

same on my family phones no problems (Oppo, Samsung, Nokia, The Latest Sony, and one more I forget the brand) all looking ok and working as should
but
I have to say if the site is live so to speak, not a test, then the form is going to be the least of your worries, especially on larger devices (my monitor 24" layout all over the place, background image, repeating itself too obtrusive (making it difficult to read any text content) a hero image that does nothing to attract or give a memorable visual experience, which is the whole point of having a hero image in the first place, something that your visitors will remember (known fact in the designers world, people remember images more than content)
Sorry to sound blunt, I don't often comment on other peoples websites, but I just had to mention but a couple of things.

Set your inputs font size to 16px.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Good morning, I would have to agree with Wayan. I would also put in a white background with some padding on your text areas. I would find a high resolution map and use it in "Cover" in the settings. You may also want to put a semi opaque white background on your menu to help make it stand out more against the map background.

Anyways happy building

Hi Dennis,

I noticed that the image of the 2 people on the boat (home page) took a very long time to load for me and when I checked the size I found it was 3.5 MB, which is way too big. The image dimensions are 3600x2400, even on the mobile size. You should resize the image for each viewport and consider compressing to get that file size down, especially for smaller screen sizes.
Hope that helps.

The image doesn't need to be that large either, reduce it to half the dimensions.

Hi again
Here is my 2 penny worth again, excuse if already done,..
Take down the site until you have made it something like ready to be published

Or

Do one of those htaccess thingies with nofollow and noindex instructions

If you leave it up for even a few days you run the risk of those nosy little bots and crawlers etc from starting to look, and to be honest with the way it is now you run the risk of damaging your possible SEO page rankings in the future.
Only a small piece of advice but important enough to warrant quick action
