Twitter's bootstrap has support for this, as well as many other frameworks.

Then there are people who would say that, mobile first and responsive design are part-and-parcel, that you can't do the former without the later. Either way, I'm yet to see any examples of good looking, feature rich, content heavy sites that go from mobile to desktop without sacrificing. People Bring up the Boston Globe website, but it's really really plain. Also, no one ever brings up web apps. How do you mobile first/responsive design an app that's essentially a spreadsheet?
