Cool site but did someone forget to design mobile first? It looks like shit on my phone, can't read company descriptions

Yeah my bad. Some more work required to make this legit on smart phones
Thanks for the heads up. Not something I can do right now but on the short term road map homie.
Any more questions send me a mail @ [email protected] or twotter @employbl_jobs
It at least works enough to show the embedded Google Map, which hints at why it wasn't optimized for mobile. It's difficult to make a complex Google Maps API app work well on a phone.
It looks like it could be made usable on a phone with little work.

It looks pretty broken on iPhone X

Sorry the developer wasnt thinking of you
Thinking about your users is kind of your job as a developer / entrepreneur...
You might not be there target user. You can't please every user and some sites want to add features that look great / add value when viewed on a larger monitors.
Mobile first sites make the desktop experience bland and simplier than they need to be.
It is still the best solution to the variable screensizes reality but it does make the web a little blander then need be.

You don't have to choose one or the other, you can have a simpler (but usable) interface for mobile and a more feature-ful version for desktop. This isn't rocket surgery.
You are referring to functionality my comment was more related to look / feel.
If you go with a popular framework with the mobile first approach you must design with those limitations on your full desktop site as well. If you go with Bootstrap and use the grid layout both layouts will use grid.

I know this might be shocking but you can make a website without a framework. In fact, it probably would have worked out better for this site as it has such a simple design. HTML plus a handful of custom CSS rules would have sufficed and it wouldn't lock you into any "limitations". This is not a hard problem, not even close.
