Using percentages is one way to create a responsive web page but the better way is by using Media Queries.

Take a look at CSS3 media queries.

They are exactly what you need. All you need to do is specify some maximum or minimum screen dimensions in your case for each media-query. This way, you can design how your site looks on mobile devices, tablets, computers, etc. and they need not all be the same!

Something that looks good on a big screen like that of a computer need not necessarily look good on a mobile device but using media query, you can design separate versions for both devices!

For example, you execute some CSS only for desktop computers using min-width

@media screen and (min-width: 800px) { /*The following CSS runs only for displays with a width (in pixels) of more than 800px*/
    body {
        background-color: lightblue;
    }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 800px) { /*The following CSS runs only for displays with a width (in pixels) of less than 800px*/
    body {
        background-color: yellow;
    }
}

This way, your webpage looks different on desktop computers and looks different on mobile devices and tablets.
