There is a difference between a collapsible skin via CSS/HTML and a responsive design. Responsive designs also alter the amount of data to the devices viewpoint -- you would not want to send the same amount of data to a low-bandwidth device. In most cases you should handle the input of the devices differently. There is plenty of php/javascript that needs to be extended and altered to do this correctly, not just the templating and CSS alone. For example: Using vb's navtab setup does not work well with many of the touch screen devices we tested.
Taking any page and making it collapsible is a pretty simple thing, but this just gives the look of a responsive design and maybe that is all you are looking for. In my department it took 2 guys 1.5 weeks to fully implement/test the code change. That does not count the research and outline of the project.
Anyway, if I am explaining things you already know, forgive me, I was trying to educate others. as a whole, that might read this thread.
@AdamH - Your site looks nice.
