This is usually solved by media queries / responsive design / grid
frameworks, sorry if I'm stating the obvious :) Try resizing the
commonly used websites and see what happens, e.g. for ruby-lang you have
at least 3 "versions" which are selected automatically based on the
current viewport's settings which the browser provides:

E.g. the menus on the left getting folded into one mobile "button" which
expands them on demand and leaves more space for the actual content, or
some elements disappearing in smaller viewports altogether (like the
twitter feed div). This is quite a pain to manage manually without
having an underlying grid framework.
My understanding is there are various simpler way to do this, e.g.
separate styles for small screen devices, redirection to a different
URL, setting "hidden" to certain DIVs dynamically etc. etc. As you
saying there's no way to do this unless we use some grid framework I
know nothing about and probably need to learn? -- Andrei
