The single page website has gained popularity from a design trending perspective in recent times, and although it’s not a viable digital solution for every business, single page layouts can be perfect for sites that are not content heavy, or are predominantly for mobile use. A typical one page website is unconventional in its layout, with a limit on fancy animations, focusing on getting your message across without overcrowding the design or making the site difficult for the visitor to use. So although the term ‘one page website’ sounds pretty straightforward, in reality it requires a lot of design skill and strategic thinking to be successful. Included below is a small collection of creative and interesting examples of single page websites.
