Select "Zoom," then click "Zoom In" to enlarge the website or "Zoom Out" to reduce its size. Each time "Zoom In" or "Zoom Out" is clicked, it will increase or reduce the magnification an additional level. Continue adjusting the "Zoom" option until the page is displayed to your liking.
To fix the problem with zooming in, try adding the min-width attribute to your outer countainer ( #container or #navbar ?). Setting min-width prevents the webpage from trying to shrink down beyond the specified width (i.e. 300px).
#1: Your site isn't mobile responsive. Let's state the obvious to begin with. The number one reason why your website might be failing to work on a mobile device is that it is simply not mobile responsive. This means the website doesn't proportionally resize to different size screens.
Add this to your HTML head..
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
This tells smaller device browsers how to scale the page. You can read more about this here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/UsingtheViewport/UsingtheViewport.html
as suggested here http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/htmlcss-tutorials/quick-tip-dont-forget-the-viewport-meta-tag/
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1">
would be an even better choice as it makes going from portrait to landscape and back a much more pleasant user experience as with/height would adopt naturally because of the possible auto-scaling.
Adding this for people searching this error for whom the accepted answer is not working. I believe this will be a rarer, but nonetheless frustrating case:
If your page is rendering inside a frameset (for example domain cloaking), then putting the meta tags won't help. You would need to put them in the page on the cloaking domain, which you may or may not have access to depending on your DNS host.
