multi column list in main body on homepage ?

could i use this to create a multi column list in the main body of my homepage?

the theme that i use does not presently create a compact way of displaying all my categories (created through the theme)

if i could create my own responsive css list and just add the cat links manually and add this multi col list to my homepage, would be great

can this do the trick?

thanks
