Building a website takes time. For some businesses or brands, getting every page just right isn’t the top priority or they’ve already built a community elsewhere. Having a website is important, but you can launch yours with just one page.
Whether you plan to stick to one or slowly add pages as you go, here are 7 examples of one-page websites that make an impact to inspire your next design.
1. Bogart
For an in-person community, having some kind of online presence is still important. But you may only need something as simple as a landing page. This example for an athletic community gets across plenty of information in one page.
The font and color combination suggest a bright, energetic brand, giving visitors a sense of what to expect from the group. The copy emphasizes that with the phrasing of, “passionate, determined, and supportive” and the promise to meet your needs for a day or for years. Visitors have two clear options after landing: get in touch or learn more via the social link in the top right.
2. Fayette
An event is a perfect use case for a one-page website. This layout keeps it focused on the basics: what’s happening, where it’ll be, and how to RSVP. This is ideal for a larger event—like a milestone birthday or engagement party—where text messages or an e-vite might be hard to track and the occasion calls for a little extra attention.
Plus, with the simple layout, it’s easy to add any extra information you might need, like an FAQ or dress code details.
3. Mariana
Even an ecommerce website can operate from one main page, if you have limited products. This website example for a small-batch, slow fashion business isn’t technically one page, since there are product pages and a checkout flow, but the key points of the store are contained to the homepage.
The headline for the page builds excitement by highlighting the limited nature of the products, then uses the rest of the page to dive into details about the items and business. It’s an ideal layout to create a professional design even if you don’t have time to build out a multi-page online shop yet.
4. Manor
Whether you’re still finishing up your website details or looking to create buzz for a new launch, building anticipation is another great use of a one-page website. The bold, spare design in this example grabs your full attention, encouraging you to sign up to hear more.
It’s easy to edit this page or swap with another one-page layout when you’re ready to launch. At that point, you can reach out to anyone who signed up for your mailing list and drive traffic back to your website.
5. Manual
If you’re only selling one item, then it’s possible you only need one page to do it. This layout features a book, but you can apply a similar design for any digital or physical product.
One benefit of selling a single product—a book, a shirt, an online course—is that it’s easier to focus your design. This example puts the product and its description front-and-center, then uses the rest of the page to fill in the blanks with reviews and an author bio. Visitors have one main call to action to grab their attention: “Buy the book”.
6. Devoe
A one-page website can also be a good option for a portfolio or resume website. This can apply if most of your work lives on other platforms—like the actress and model in this example—or you have a limited portfolio to share.
In this case, the website highlights the information a potential client or casting director needs to know and links out to other places to learn more. For a portfolio website, you could highlight a few works and share a short summary about yourself and your experience.
7. Randi
For many professionals, their website is a one-stop shop for a full download of their expertise, personal story, services, and pricing. But if you built your following elsewhere or you just need something launched as you get started, a one-page website is a perfect starting point.
In this example, the simple blurb gives visitors a quick summary of the experience they’ll get after clicking Book a Consultation. If they’re looking for more detail, they can click the social media links in the corner.
