I wonder if there is a similar tool to Skala Preview (it is for live preview of photoshop work on your iPhone via Wifi) to test my web design (index.html and its assets folder) onto mobile phones (iPhone, Android and WinPhone). I need to check that viewport, mediaqueries and other design questions are working as expected...

I already use Resizer but it is not to test directly on mobile devices, I don't want an emulator. I have tried Dropbox and Drive, but that last one doesn't work on mobiles and both are so tricky of use. I am not a developer and I don't understand the most of those strange languages beyond HTML and CSS... But I can't believe there's no an easy way to do what I am asking for. It shouldn't be so difficult!

Thank you in advance :)

If you have access to the Adobe Creative Cloud, you can view live previews of your website on any kind of mainstream mobile device using Edge Code and Edge Inspect. Changes happen as you edit in Edge Code, so you can get instant feedback on how different devices will handle changes to the HTML and CSS without having to continually push changes up to a server via FTP.

You could try GhostLab...it's awesome but also Premium. It allows you to test your designs live on every device with no need of Hosting, just with your local machine and internet connection.

Most web designers or developers have their own web site which has hosting. You can simply create a subfolder on your hosting account and drop the web site into that... and access it via www.yourdomain.com/subfolder. If you don't have a hosting account, get one. They run as little as a year.

Other options include using things such as MAMP, LAMP, or WAMP to create a local server environment.

All you really need is a web server running on your local network. Some operating Systems already have a preinstalled server environment. The MacOS has Apache built in (I don't know about Windows). With that, all you need is the Local IP of the system running the server.
