Try to format almost sizes definition in relative units instead of absolute ( fixed size ) units: % are percentage, relative to the element container/parent em is for espacement of letter 'm', is relative to the font-size applied on the element ex like em for 'x' size vw is percentage relative to the viewport width ( visibled zone of your page ), allow to avoid refering % of parent/container vh like vw for the viexport height And add the <meta> viewport tag in the <head> section: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

I would also remove the margin from the body, and if you still want the 10px put it as padding and add box -sizing body { width: 100%; height: auto, margin: 0; padding: 10px; box-sizing: border-box; } p.s There is a typo with the above meta viewport tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
