I've used Zurb Foundation and Skeleton before so I'm familiar with both but I never had to convert an existing website to a responsive website before. Whats the quickest method to convert my website? Using a framework like above, or adding Media Queries for the code already provided? (Does that even work?)
A fully responsive website will rescale itself to preserve the user experience and look and feel across all devices — with no irritating zooming, scrolling or resizing. These days web users crave consistency and an elegant User Experience (UX), and they'll eject if your site isn't fully responsive.
Determine which devices you want to support and then add a stylesheet with something along these lines:
/* =Responsive Structure
----------------------------------------------- */
@media (max-width: 800px) {
/* Smaller Resolution Desktops and Laptops */
[...]
}
@media (max-width: 650px) {
/* Smaller devices */
[...]
}
@media (max-width: 450px) {
/* Even Smaller devices */
[...]
}
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 320px) and (max-device-width: 480px) {
/* Even Smaller devices */
[...]
}
It's easiest to test if they go in descending order. more example media queries here:

In my case I need to re-write the website from scratch because my responsive style file didnt resolve the problem.. So I rewrite my Styles using LESS and the I create a responsive stylesheet with the correct media queries like Matthew Darnell do.
I'm not familiar with Skeleton but Twitter Boostrap works fine for me.
