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: http://imgur.com/a/gE38d

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.
