I am making a page with one .html file and one .css file.
I have incorporated the bootstrap 4 CDN into my html head.
The grid appears properly for the medium screen sizes but it is not resizing when I view on my phone.
I have used bootstrap 4 before with no issues in my react app but the same methods do not seem to be working with plain html and css.
my code can be seen below.
html:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<title>Portfolio</title>
<meta name="description" content="Showcasing my portfolio">

I do have more than 12 columns in some rows but never had an issue with it before, and as I stated earlier, everything works fine on medium screen sizes.
css:
nav {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
z-index: 1;
display: block;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #A65900;
padding-top: 10px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.68);
}
nav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
padding: 0 0.5em;
display: inline;
}
nav .navLeft {
font-size: 20px;
display: inline;
margin-left: 5rem;
}
nav .navRight {
display: inline;
margin-right: 5rem;
}
.contentPane {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.68);
}
.nameSection {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
background-color: #FFA200;
}
.nameSection img {
margin-top: 90px;
max-height: 200px;
width: 100%;
}
.underline {
display: block;
clear: both;
height: 8px;
background-color: white;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.nameSection h4 {
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
.portfolioSection {
text-align: center;
background-color: #FFEF00;
}
.portfolioSection h1 {
margin-top: 40px;
}
.screen {
width: 100%;
max-height: 200px;
}
Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?
All help is appreciated. Thanks.
See Responsive meta tag in the Bootstrap documentation.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
You missed out the meta viewport directive so mobile browsers will assume you have not designed a responsive website and will default to scaling for a desktop design instead.
Add the meta element.
