Re: No luck with responsive web on mobile phone

Don't give up on yourself or WWB as a responsive web design tool. It really seems daunting at first but a quick look at existing sites/templates available will give you a heads up on what is going on in the background. Just drop a layout grid onto the workspace in a recent version of WWB (get the ...

I don't know what csv viewer you are using (extension?) but if you are using an extension you may have to change the delimiter. Some use a semi colon while others default to a comma. Whatever it is it has to match the file or you won't see your data.

You have to be sure that objects are actually in the layout grid.
