Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media queries. As the user switches from their laptop to iPad, the website should automatically switch to accommodate for resolution, image size and scripting abilities. In other words, the website should have the technology to automatically respond to the user’s preferences. This would eliminate the need for a different design and development phase for each new gadget on the market.

When it comes to responsive web design, twitter bootstrap logic is the best. But that long way to learn, if you want to get a shortcut, I would rather recommend magic liquidizer for converting old theme to become responsive.

Using media queries will adapt a different css for different screen sizes. The way it works is telling the browser: if screenwidth =700px or smaller/bigger; use mobile css. If screenwidth =1000px or smaller/bigger; use desktop css. There's no limit to how many media queries you can use.

Using percentages is also a possibility; fluid design. I'd suggest using this together with media queries though.

As for frameworks, there are many out there. Bootstrap is one of the more populair ones. I personally believe working mobile first is the best way to go though. However, there is still heated debate on this subject.

As Pete mentioned in a comment earlier; working with graceful degredation (desktop first) will make the device download as much as the desktop site but not make use of the content downloaded. Wich is a huge drawback for the user. (Bigger pageload times, lots of server requests, more use of MB data etc.) Hence why I think progressive enhancement (mobile first) is the way to go.

Using progressive enhancement, the browser will always download the mobile css first; cutting down pageload times extremely.
