When the days get longer and business slows down just enough, summer becomes the ideal time to tackle those “someday” projects—like building a website. If you’ve been putting off launching a website or updating an outdated one, a one-page website might be the perfect summer project.
They are cost-effective and quick to build, but they still pack a punch when it comes to delivering clear, concise information to your audience.
Whether you’re promoting a service, showcasing a portfolio, or just need an online home for your brand, a one-page website offers the perfect blend of functionality and focus. Only having one page means you can get to the point quickly, without having to find lots of images or write thousands of words of content.
Ready to make a big impact with just one page? Let’s dive in.
Why are one-page websites so popular at the moment?
While multi-page sites have always been the standard type of website, the rise of social media allowed many small and medium businesses to connect with their audiences in a way that suited them much better. Instead of having to call in IT for the tiniest change, they could share special offers, new products and important information with customers in minutes. However, businesses have often found themselves at the mercy of the algorithm, with posts being hidden and engagement drop-offs when they had previously had a thriving page. As a result, a one-page website is a great way to build a permanent online space that you control, without needing expensive IT resources and full time tech teams.
Here’s some other reasons small businesses love a one-page website:
Fast Setup
With fewer parts to deal with, one-page websites are much quicker to design, build, and launch than a multi-page website. There’s no need to collate thousands of image or spend your free time writing endless copy, a couple of good snaps and an outline of your offer does the trick.
Cost-Effective
Less content to handle means less design time, and fewer pages mean lower costs—perfect for small business budgets and those who are just beginning to establish an online presence.
SEO-Friendly
One-page websites tend to have faster load times, mobile-friendly scrolling layouts, and all your content on one URL gives great key word density, boosting your search visibility.
Why summer is the perfect time to begin your one-page website project
With so many people on holiday, childcare to juggle and the call of the beer garden, many small business owners find summer a great time to slow down and catch up on those annoying admin jobs. You might also find yourself gearing up for the autumn with clearance sales, or hosting seasonal events or product launches. A one-page site won’t take up too much time, yet will give your offer much more clout than just posting on social media.
Seasonal Promotions
One-page websites are great for showcasing limited-time offers like summer sales, holiday discounts, or clearance events. With all the details in one scrollable space, visitors get the message quickly and can take action fast.
Event Marketing
Hosting or sponsoring a summer event, pop-up shop, or local festival? A one-page website is the perfect hub for sharing dates, locations, RSVP links, and highlights. The scrolling format of a one-page site also feels familiar and easy to navigate for mobile users.
Product Launches or Announcements
Launching something new? Whether it’s a product, service, or seasonal collection, a one-page website lets you focus on the key points without getting drawn into tangents. Keeping things short and snappy helps you get across to your customers what really matters.
How We Can Help You
While crafting a one-page site is significantly easier (and therefore cheaper!) than a multi-page site, it can still be tricky to work out exactly what you need and how best to organise it.
