Ah yes, the big banner on the index page. I think I can see your 
point of view --- the current index is far more informative. 
Ultimately though the decision to use a banner wasn't just 
triggered by mobile considerations, but a little re-think about 
the structure and purpose of the website.

As I see it, the desirable purpose of the 'main' pages is roughly 
as follows:
 - index :: attention grabber - features :: capture interest, 
 entice to try - releases :: see what's changed recently - install 
 :: how to get started - documentation :: dig into the details - 
 contribute :: encourage to give back to the project 

With those goals in mind, I see a large banner on the index 
declaring (effectively) that "org is great" as being in line with 
the above UX.

Quite the contrary! If there's anything I want more of with this 
effort (appart from general help) it's criticism/feedback. As 
you've pointed out it's (effectively) just me working on this: so 
hearing other people's thoughts is emminently desirable.

Effectively, yes. You could have CSS as follows:

#+BEGIN_SRC css @media(min-width:851px) { 
    /* desktop style */ 
} @media(max-width:850px) { 
    /* mobile style */ 
} #+END_SRC
 
> Good luck. 

Thanks :) I hope this can receive Bastien/Carsten's blessing and 
be used for the main site sooner rather than later.

All the best,

Timothy.
