You’re likely familiar with websites consisting of multiple pages that allow you to visit various sections of a website. But, if you’ve never heard of (or even fully understood), What is a One-Pager Website? Sit back, and we’ll explain everything you need to know (and why this type of website might be the perfect option for you)!

Multiple Page VS One-Pager Website

Firstly, let’s discuss the difference between a multiple and a single-page website.

Multiple Page Website

You are probably familiar with this type of layout. As per the icons below, your website elements such as About, Portfolio, and Contact are all on separate pages. 

See our Multi-Page Website in action here.

One-Pager Website

Here all the pages of your website are combined into one. Doing so creates a different experience for clients and customers visiting your website.

Visitors can simply scroll down, rather than having to click on menus and navigate to multiple pages.

5 Reasons why you need a One-Pager Website

1. Getting work & contracts
2. Setup is quick & easy
3. Cost Savings
4. All of what you need in a condensed package
5. Ease of Maintenance

1. Getting work and contracts

Time-poor clients like Art Directors, Art Buyers & Publishers need to ‘scan’ your site quickly. If they can’t find what they are looking for, they will move on to someone else.

These potential customers and clients have very busy schedules and tight timings – so they need to see your work and see if you are a good fit quickly.

If your work is hidden away a few pages deep, you run the risk that the Art Director could move on to someone else.

2. Setup is quick & easy

All our Template Emporium websites are focused on ease of use and setup – but our one-pager sites – here and here make the process even easier as you don’t have to worry about multiple pages of content and how these will relate to each other.

One-pagers also make great first websites if this is your first venture into getting your work online.

3. Cost Savings

Creating multiple-page designs, including fully-featured shops and blogs, not only takes time but money.

You, however, may not be in a position to need all these features yet. And if you are in the early stages of running your business, you can save the money you would have spent on a multiple-page website and instead invest it in your business in other ways. Including:

• Buy some props and items you can use as backdrops for your work.
• Put the money towards a photographer to shoot your best pieces.
• Hire a copywriter to look over your website, and make sure the message and tone of voice are consistent with you, your artwork and what you are trying to communicate.

4. All of what you need in a condensed package

Our one-pager websites – Milla and Artwork & Design have all of what you need and nothing you don’t – all condensed down into a neat one-page design.

5. Ease of maintenance

Our One-Pager website templates take care of everything for you which, means hands-off maintenance for you.

They include continually backing up your website to security against hackers. So, you can relax and focus on doing what you do best – creating your artwork.

Our One-Pager template designs are perfectly crafted for Artists, Illustrators and designers.

If that sounds like you, our Milla one-pager Showit Website Template may be perfect for you!
