Client doesn't like the way the responsive site works
rockypointendoscopy.com- the client asked for a site that would work for all screen sizes including mobile. I used this dreamweaver template that is responsive. But he doesn't like the way elements stack, like the icons for service, about, testimonials and contact on the home page, and the photos in the footer, He'd rather they just reduce in size. Anything I can do there without rebuilding the site? Thanks.

Hi- I'm sorry, but I'm going to need more instruction. I tried to do the footer here: http://www.rockypointendoscopy.com/test.html but I am not having any luck.

Thank you, padas, I think you are right.

It is too hard to debug your minified css to know where it is, if you can upload a non minified version (and change your html references to use the non minified version) then it will be easy to tell you on what line the query is kicking in.
As a rule you should never use minified versions of js/css on a development site.

I appreciate your thoughts. I've sent an email to the client, is it ok if I wait to see what he responds?
If they decide to still go forward 'their' way, I would make a contract with options A and B for them to select. Because if they want to make a site that will not be a good experience for mobile, they will eventually get complaints and it could fall back on you. This way you will always have the contract to remind them you, "told them so" without having to actually say it that way.
Good luck.

Thanks, this is all great advice!

Thanks- this was the correct answer. Not that he listened to me, but we came up with a sort of compromise.

That is the common way a lot of web development gets done. It is almost always a balance between a client with a vision and a business model, and a developer who understands the technical limits leading the client down the path to "what will work well". Almost never perfect, but as long as it is not crap the client gets what they are paying for.

For the footer (Partners) place all the elements in a 75(ish)% width div and then separate the text (Partner Companies) from the images (clear:both) then the images should have a width of 32%
