Customers often check demo site of templates they would like to buy on their mobile device.

Sometmes they are confused since it  occure that the template that is marked as optimized for mobile devices does not appear correctly - I mean like being not responsive what is not true.

 

Where's the problem?

Our site of all demos uses iframe to display our templates demo sites collection.

It means that the URL that you see in the browser after selecting the particular template is NOT the direct URL of the template demo site.
What does it mean?
You will not achive the responsive layout of the template by entering iframe URL in your mobile device.

What is the solution?

There are 2 ways to check how responsive is the template you want to buy.
