CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Website Testing

Responsiveness Issues

Pretty much finished coding my website, but there are some issues that i can't seem to solve.

The nav element is too high up on the page, i want it at the bottom of the header. The 2 columns on the contact page won't stack when the browser size is brought in. Same issue as above ^, the images on the portfolio page don't condense on top of each other. Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Code is listed below.
