Too "stretched out" in Desktop view -...
Hello there,
I created a new website. I like how it looks on a cell phone (small). However, on a desktop (bigger), it looks weird.
It is: na-tacoma.com
Especially this page: https://na-tacoma.com/services.html
When the site gets bigger (desktop), I'd like the content to stay in the middle of the page. Right now, it stretches to the right and left sides and looks too "stretched out."
Could I get some help on how to prevent stretched out look please?
Thank you!

I guess you could put a wrapper div around your site, with some width limitation (e.g. 1200px) and margins left and right set to auto. It wouldn't disturb the look at phone sizes, only if the screen width exceeds 1200px it will kick in.
Ha en riktig god dag!

Upon further inspection on my desktop monitor, you already have the body set to max-width = 900px, so all you need to do then is set the l & R margins to = auto

Thanks for the suggestions!
I changed the width of the body to 900 px. It helps! However it's not centered (it all aligns on the left side). Is there a way to center all of the content?
Also, the background is grey when it's big (but white when it's small). In the software, it's set to white for >all< of the breakpoints. Any idea why the background still shows up as grey?

One other thing is that the site is showing as NON SECURE, which for me here says that I should leave and not proceed, which isn't a good thing, actually it's just the link you gave it takes us to www..na-tacoma.com
I did the same thing not long ago with my own site, I forgot to put the re-direct thingy from www.xxxx to htpps://xxxx on my hosting service,
