Wikipedias in different languages have front pages with various mobile-friendly and widescreen-friendly templates. Even minor adaptations of them can lead us to a better front page.I suggest doing all drastic changes on test pages. When people involved can confirm that on their devices those test pages are displayed fine then they can be moved to production.This is how it was today before I came, how it was after I fixed a few things (still the logo is not aligned to the center - something to be fixed) and how the News page looks like on mobile.The floating language bar made scrolling and reading the page on Opera Mobile almost impossible. Yes, it's much more advanced but ... not cross-device friendly.
As for the News page it's not shrinked to the screen but the legacy of some Wikipedia templates taken for it still make it readable.
