Hi i've recentlu updated my website wedding-cars-glasgow.com using my old dreamweaver cs3 but I'm unsure if I can use code to make it mobile friendly (i haven't built a site in years so I'm not uotodate with mobile friendly creation) I've not got the money to pay a developer a monthy charge to update it for me, is there a site where I could learn to do this for myself just as a one off  to make my site mobile friendly

thanks Alice

    If you understand CSS media queries, and the fact that DW CS3 is pretty unlikely to recognize anything but the most basic CSS in Design or Live view, you can go ahead and make responsive sites there. You're just not going to necessarily see everything as you're working on it. If you're Previewing in Browser frequently and working in Code View, it can be done though.

    If you have some experience coding, you should be able to run some tutorials on css, html and media queries over a weekend or two and be able to see the beginnings of what you need to do to get a reasonably responsive site made. Some of the more advanced options for responsiveness will be a bit confusing, but the basics are pretty simple to pick up and will make your site work much better on mobile devices than a static site.

    Google the subject - how to change fixed site to responsive tutorial - and you can make a choice.

    My favourite is Bootstrap 3 Tutorial
