I have some web pages all made at 320x480, they worked great on iPhone, but on other mobiles with all the different (larger) screen sizes they dont display full screen. Is there an easy option to fix it, I'm not a web designer so altering by hand all the css isn't an option for me, Ive tried hiring for it, but all the coders on job boards are all from developing countries and aren't up to the skill level, the ones from the west are also liars from developing countries trying to pull a fast one about their real country of residence.

Isn't there something like a shell, and I can just copy and paste my web page into it, or perhaps some code I can copy into my web page and my web page will scale up and down?

Also could a mod change the title to

There's nothing you can just copy your website into and it magically converts it a fixed to fluid layout. What'd you make your original pages with? You could simply change the widths to 100%, but I'm sure other things will need to be altered.

It's not that difficult to write css. Look up fluid layouts on goodle.

In nearly 15 years of doing HTML myself, this is the first time I've ever heard anyone call it "responsive" design.

That's why I mentioned fluid layouts, which change size to fit the space needed.

The current trend calls it Responsive Design, have a look at the search results, not my words

Fluid and Responsive are not the same.

Fluid generally uses percentages to scale the webpage, whereas Responsive uses media queries.
