17 Action Packed Single Page Sites


This isn’t just an exercise in minimalism, it’s a showcase of effective use of space. These sites only need is one page to spread their message.

Below the fold content, and the scrolling involved with it isn’t a hassle on the sites below. Smooth scrolling through the use of javascript libraries is common to keep things fluid when navigating.

Here’s a roundup of sites that use their space wisely:

    Sure, they’re all lovely designs… but most of them behave the same way. Single page designs don’t have to be limited to vertical movement.

    That’s true Chris.
    Here’s a link to the portfolio of a colleague of mine that is single paged and uses horizontal movement. I really like the idea.

    Single-paged sites are interesting; they always gave me a little bit of a challenge organiztionally simply because it limits the designer to putting the message into one short sentence- essentially like writing the synopsis on the back of a book (only slightly less ambiguous – as I’ve always found synopses to be somewhat vague). They’re flexible, yet at the same time, interesting and fun to do, in a way.

    Note: there’s a link glitch. Veebo Labs’s graphic goes to Edit-Studio.

    I must admit, I was pretty skeptical of this when I started reading the post. But this turned out to be extremely creative stuff. And I agree with Melody: We Bleed Design is a complete mind-blower!
