Similar to how iOS operated before they introduced widgets to Springboard.

I currently use Nova Launcher but I don't think this is possible.

Any ideas/alternative launchers?
 
You can't do exactly that on Android, but instead you can disabled the App Drawer and put everthing on the home screen.

Settings -> Display -> Home Screen -> Select Home -> Home
 
Just drop a shortcut for each app onto home. Scroll sidewayz for more pages. I particularly like the sliding dock about Nova

Just saw that my Nova install will allow up to a 12 x 12 grid, with "off-center" placement allowed
