As we’ve just explored, the term one-page website is exactly what it sounds like. It comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages when compared to a multipage website. It’s important to understand these differences in order to use single page websites effectively.
Simply put, a one-page website is a single page website that makes use of only just one, single HTML page. Most single-page websites do come with menu bars, not unlike your bigger multipage websites. But, instead of taking you to different web pages (i.e. about us, service, contact), selecting a menu bar merely takes visitors down to a predefined anchor location somewhere on the site’s only page. This is typically achieved through JavaScript, CSS3, Ajax and jQuery or WordPress—all very useful tools to use professional web designers.
