why the text in my mobile is too small to read and on the desktop it's readable?

I open this site on an iPhone 6 plus and on Motorola LG V3, the text was too small to read, but when i open it on a desktop and shrink the browser to mobile width the text size was fine and readable

I found the solution on advanced video in this course, need to add meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"

Hi Adar,

The issue you are seeing is most surely seen because the person that developed the site did not take into consideration the "mobile first approach" in which you need to develop the site for mobile devices first and then scale it for big screens as well. The way you can do this is by using media queries. Please see: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.asp

Thank you, Adrian
