I have a responsive project which I published using the 'Publish to Devices' option and then a collegue put it on our website. However, my boss is saying she wants it bigger on the screen? how do I achieve this? I can't find the option for 'Scalable HTML content'. 

 

The 'Original project size' is 1024 x 627

Rod is correct, creating a fluid boxes project is only a good idea if the majority of your learners will access the course with a mobile device and want to be able to use both portrait and landscape view. Using Position Properties, which is possible since version 11.5 can improve the experience, but still you are limited to the original project size, which you may choose to increase (with all its consequences about file size of course).

The biggest drawback for a Scalable non-responsive project is that it should be used in landscape mode. All published outputs in my blog are using Scalable non-responsive projects which makes the experience agreeable on all desktop systems, but it is possible to watch them on a mobile device as well, preferably in Landscape mode. Try one out:

Responsive projects don't give you the option to use Scalable HTML when publishing.  That checkbox is only present on normal non-responsive projects.

 

What you are discovering is that responsive projects are mainly intended for viewing on mobile devices.  If your target audience is mainly viewing content on desktop computers, you would be better off building your project as non-responsive because then you can use a larger stage size.  Sometimes the only way to adequately cover both mobile and desktop viewport sizes is to create two projects, one responsive and one normal non-responsive.

 

Are you certain that there are sufficient numbers of people in your target audience that cannot view the content EXCEPT on their mobile phones?  That would b the only reason (in my view) to have a responsive project at all.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Just to give some more detail... I made a training webinar where viewers can click on the information that relates to them through the use of buttons. I've completed a few interactive training webinars myself but didn't know what they were made on? Captivate and Camtasia were the only things I could find really.

 

Our viewers will most likely use laptops to watch the training. My main wish was to have interactive training so people didnt get too bored. I'm not bothered about having training that can be accessed on a phone. Any guidance with this scenario much appreciated!

Here is a comparison between the two possible workflows for responsive projects, and the scalable non-responsive. In your case I definitely would prefer the last option:
