Optimizing the viewport for iPhone and iPad in portrait mode

I have a website located at the following URL:

Currently, I have set the viewports as follows:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale = 1.0,maximum-scale = 1.0" />

When viewing it on my iPad in landscape mode, everything looks great. However, on my iPhone, all the elements appear too large and on landscape, it's a bit wider than desired... Could this issue be related to the viewports settings or should I consider adding a media query to adjust the layout of my CSS page wrapper?

.contentPowell {
background-color: #FFF;
width: 1024px;
min-height: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
box-shadow: 12px 0 15px -4px #888, -12px 0 8px -4px #888;
position: relative;
z-index: 999999;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}

What about the footer section?

.footerPowell{
    width:1024px;
}

If I were in your shoes, my approach would be to tailor the iPhone version to a width of 320px and utilize a viewport setting of 1.0 as seen in your sample code. Currently, your code is optimized for a resolution of 1024px, causing the iPhone view to only occupy about one third of that width and allowing for horizontal scrolling.

Below is an example showcasing the iPhone version redesigned at 320px width, using your existing code with some minor adjustments to element widths along with CSS updates outlined below.

To visualize the intended view, access this link on your iPhone: 

<style type="text/css">
    .entry-content ul{ list-style:none; float:left; width:90%; }
    .entry-content ul li{ float:left;
                        /*width:33%;*/
                         background-color:#000; margin:5px; max-height:234px; padding-bottom:30px; }
    .entry-content ul li a{ color:#FFF; text-decoration:none; }
    .entry-content ul li a:hover{ text-decoration:none; }
    .entry-content ul li a:visited{ color:#FFF; }
    .entry-content ul li a h2{ text-align:center; margin-bottom:0px; }
    .entry-content ul li a h2 a{ }
    .entry-content ul li a h2 a img{ margin-top:15px; }

    .contentPowell {
        width: 320px;
    }

    .entry-content {
        width:320px;
    }
</style>

To differentiate between iPad and iPhone displays, you could implement device detection or apply specific styling for iPhones by creating a separate CSS class exclusively for mobile devices.
