What is a one-page website?

By definition, a one-page website is simply a single page website that uses only one HTML page. When clicking on navigation links, the user scrolls down the page or jumps to that particular content’s section. The website may use JavaScript, jQuery, CSS3, or Ajax to accomplish this movement.

Why would you use a one-page website?

Building one-page websites within WordPress allows for speedy builds and can be economical and easy to edit for startups and businesses with no previous online presence or those that don’t have a lot of content.

It often removes the obstacles with generating a website from scratch as a small amount of content is needed at a mimimum.

An article titled Why Long Scrolling Sites Have Become Awesome, written by The Next Web highlights why long scroll sites are very popular.

With the current increasing trends in mobile device usage, one-page websites are very well suited for consuming content on mobiles. Long scroll will continue to adopt more advanced effects as mobile devices evolve towards improved functionality and load times.
