How to Design a Stunning One-Page Website

A website that is ONLY 1 page. Think about it.

While this 2020 web design trend is just beginning to blossom, it’s also changing the way we get the information we seek online.

Consumers want fast, easy and simple when it comes to the online experience, so actually, a one pager makes total sense.

This type of design doesn’t work for everyone, so don’t feel like you have to make your website like this- web design is a creative expression with a variety of options that enliven the user experience!

Who should go for a one page website design?

The first thing you’ll want to mull over is if your business is the right fit for a one pager. With this type of design, think clean cut and image focused with minimal text.

Generally, this is a good fit for a freelancer, small business or self employed individual who wants to display their skills and services.

The classic website that features a homepage, about us, contact page, etc. is a good fit for a business that must display a copious amount of written content in order to effectively communicate about the services offered.

For example, this can include logistics websites, restaurants or real estate website design.

Plan your content

The next thing you’ll want to do on your new one page website adventure, is to get your content locked and loaded.

You’ll want to make a list of all of the sections you’ll want to share, then list them in order of importance.

Why? Because with a one pager, the visitor will first see the top of the page, then scroll down. Therefore, the most important, attention grabbing content needs to be at the top.

For example, your content plan could look something like this:

About
Contact
Call to Action Button (in the middle, give or take)
Services
Products
FAQ
Testimonials

Don’t forget about the pictures! What makes a one pager unique is how a story unfolds as the user scrolls down. You can accomplish that with plenty of pictures, GIFs and illustrations.
