I'm glad someone else has asked this question, Instant Pro seems to get flagged for number of things within Webmaster, but I don't think I have any control over them in Instant Pro, for example, my site content area is too wide (1200 pixels) but would need to be 350 pixels for mobile devices.

Is it possible to alter the content width in Instant Pro to try and strike a happy medium, or am I missing some additional coding under the header ?

It also seems the menu buttons themselves from the sitebuilder aren't liked because of the character sizing/spacing.

I've tried adding the suggested Meta but still getting lots of red pen in Webmaster, including No Structured Markup etc.

Any advice gratefully received.

I wondered if this would come up...
I was planning to post on this but hadn't managed to yet!

Here is the link for Google's Mobile Friendly Test

I'm still planning on contributing more on this but will be interested in other's opinions.

Google have a "mobile compatibility checker" that you can use to test your site for mobile-friendliness. It tests several areas, mainly to do with one or two meta tags, font size and spacing of any links and buttons.

As an example, I just overheard that an InstantPro site can be made "mobile-friendly" simply by increasing the font size used to 21pt...

I have a tendency to think that a lot is being made of very little, but who knows?
