Can't edit mobile version of my site in site editor.

[slingo]

All of my problem stated in subject...
When I change view of the site from desktop to mobile, all I see is an empty phone picture.
Phone with absolutely nothing inside phone's screen.
And right part of menu's with desighn for mobile options don't work too.
I tried to make it in chromium and in firefox and it don`t work in both browsers..

Hey @slingo! It isn't possible right now to edit the mobile site separately from the desktop site. Also, the mobile preview will really only show something when you're using an older non-responsive, theme. If you're using a responsive theme, it'll just adjust to smaller screensizes.

You can actually get a good idea of how it will look by just making your browser window really small.

This is perplexing. The site is editied on a desktop, and then automatically reformatted for mobile, which is where the vast majority of people (my people at least) will be viewing it. And it looks terrible, with font sizes all over the place. If I had known this I would have gone elsewhere. It is a serious oversight, can it be so hard to remedy?!?!

[Adam7]

Font sizes should be consistent on a mobile device just like on a desktop computer, except sized more appropriately for mobile. Are you changing the sizes of fonts with the text editing toolbar, or using text pasted in from somewhere else?

Adam, weebly site doesn't alow for changing font on a given page or writing - is that notmal.

Also, although my site looks nice on my desktop it is a ttal disaster on both the web and app version on a mobile even substituting photos that have nothing to do with my site. 

Since this seemed related I thought I would piggy back here.

Hi @scboy1957.

Font choices are global for sites, so there isn't really a way to use unique fonts on one particular page of the site. You can make other changes on a individual page, though, like bolding, italicizing, etc. 

You might want to consider switching to a newer theme to see if that looks better on mobile devices for you.

Same here!!! What a disaster!!! 

The site looks totally crap in mobile view...white text on a coloured background shows up on my mobile as dark grey & barely readable.

The list is long...

I can't believe I've spent so much time editing my client's Weebly site only to find I can't adjust it for mobile - it's a fiasco.

Mad as hell!!

Will this feature be added anytime soon @Adam ?

[Adam7]

Unfortunately, I don't have any information on that right now, @theenderking990. Sorry!

[theenderking990]

Okay. thx

There isn't an app or anything you can download to edit the mobile view? I downloaded Column Lock and it works for some sections of my webite but not for Fonts and spacing.

I like the way it looks on the desktop view. I am not about to change how the fonts and spacing look on my desktop. What can Weebly provide to actually solve this issue because it doesn't seem like a new issue amongst your customers and if other website providers can allow you to edit mobily, I don't see how Weebly is so unable to. 

[Adam7]

To change font sizes and such on the mobile site you'd need to make theme customizations and overrides. Are you familiar with CSS and HTML at all, @TaraBDPro?

Also, what text were you looking to change? Our responsive themes are meant to be sort of "set it and forget it" as far as the mobile site. It should just resize text to appropriate sizes on mobile.

[TaraBDPro]

I am not familar with those, honestly I've never designed a website to this capacity before but I learn quick. How do I make my site customizable? Do I have to redo the whole thing?

The fonts I am looking to change are my client testimonials, the words "Corporate Communication, Events, Marketing and Interviews on my Service Page, a good few of my Team Bio pages, and just the way the font looks on the Service page describing how the company will work with you just doesn't look right under column lock but doesn't look great without it either.

Here are some examples with and without column lock compared to the regular desktop view.

Kind of a laundry list of things, but this is the site I am creating bostondigitalproductionbdp.weebly.com

It'd really just be easier to edit the mobile view. I don't understand why I can't. At the very least I should be able to adjust the font in mobile view without it corrupting the view for desktop. I spent the last month on this website thinking it'd be as easy as it is on Wix to adjust the mobile view but it seems that option isn't even availble.

There's also an issue with organization on my Services page. On the desktop it looks as so.

But on my mobile the order of paragraph, title, and picture gets mixed up. I would like it to be more consistant.

[Adam7]

I would recommend using the Hide app, that way you can specifically control everything for both separately. Basically you add one Hide element the page and put everything for desktop in it and set it to display on large screens. Then you add a second hide element set to display only on small screens, and put content in that like you want it to look on mobile.

Hi just wondering if users are still unable to actually edit a website's mobile version? Is there a way to pay for this feature? Thanks. 

[Bernadette3]

Thanks for reaching out, @sheller2000 It is not possible to edit the mobile view separately. If you are using the original Weebly editor you can try using the Hide app to display different content depending on the screen size.
