I’ve been participating in one of the CSS frameworks – Foundation – and that’s one of its selling points. To pull something like this off in Freeway, you would need to start with a fully inline layout, and then you would need to make blocks of content that were sized for the mobile screen in vertical orientation, and then allow them to float up next to one another to create the wider view. This approach is known as “mobile-first”, and it is a serious constraint, but in the right hands, it can be a thing of beauty. After you’ve done all that, you’d need to set your outermost container element to 100% width and then set a max-width with the Extended dialog. In short, it could be done, but you’d probably better know how to hand-code the thing before you start, as the usual “make it look how you want it to and we do the rest” workflow in Freeway will not really let you get where you want to go.
