When you visit a webpage on your phone (I am using Android) if its a regular page it shrinks it to fit in your phone screen.

I always assumed the way to make a mobile page were to make the page small enough to fit completely in the phone’s screen resolution without shrinking.

This is not happening though. I even specifically set my page size to body{ width: 300px;}, still when I load it in my phone it is shrunk in the top left corner with plenty of free space around it.

What am I doing wrong?

    You need to use viewport meta tag

    <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Hello world!</title>

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>
</head>

<body>

<p>Hello world!</p>

</body>
</html>
