The Mobile Joomla preview layout looks great but when I use my iPhone and Android to see the layout it's not laying out the same way as the preview.... My Blackberry layout looks good too..... Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

Hi forteirp.

Is this the URL of your Joomla site? hanksconstruction.net/ . I tried your site on my Mobile Asus Zenfone 2 Android and here's what it looks like:

Please see screenshot: screencast.com/t/3cE01NYDzusq

Can you also provide a screenshot from your iPhone or your Android phone? 

Best,

1. Your template doesn't contain viewport meta tag, as a result different devices assume different default page width (usually 960px on iPhones) and scales page down. MJ's preview mode doesn't emulate this feature.
2. Your template is based on bootstrap, and rendering depends on screen width. E.g. logo in the header is wrapped into a <div> with class="span6" that is defined in bootstrap in the following way:
 
.span6 {
width: 300px;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {
  .span6 {
    width: 372px;
  }
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
  .span6 {
    width: 540px;
  }
}
 

That is template is not responsive. It would be possible to replace all class="row" by class="row-fluid" to use responsive bootstrap styles, but it looks like template doesn't follow bootstrap layout rules, because not all of "row" children have "span*" classes, etc.

Anyway, start point should be to add
 
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
 

to the template's <head> section.
