30 One Page Websites
March 27, 2007 by Oli · 68 Comments 
Who said websites need more than one page? The one page website can be very effective – especially when used as a portfolio website as they let the site take a back seat and let the work shine through. Here we take a look at some examples of the best one-pagers ….
Note: Some of these were chosen for the sites themselves, others for the quality of work displayed within them!

Very cool list. I’m surprised at how much info some of these get across.
Yep definately, if done right they can be excellent.
I don’t like the horizontal ones though, seems wrong to me to scroll that way, thats why none of those made the list…
Hi,
We’ve just been looking for the translation options for our web site, and couldn’t find anything, and I noticed you have this option too.
Just wanted to let you know that the tranlation (I checked the Russian one) is owful. It doesn’t even sound like Russian, and sometimes it’s even hard to understand the meaning of the sentence.
Damn … Tim Benzinger made it and I didn’t. Well one day maybe! Congrats Tim if you see this!
Will the Green Man from the Iconwerk site duel to the death with the Black Man from the Dzalifornia page?
If so, will it be like Frank Gorshin on Star Trek?
hey, thanks for list me
nice site.
Thanks for this great inspiration. I have never thought about making a one-page-website before, but I guess I’ll have to try it out now that I have seen this…

Flash? I’m really surprised so many of these use flash. For anyone wanting their site to actually be found, you need to give the search engines something more than an embed tag to work with.
Flash is okay for some things, sure, but for an entire site design? I want my back button dammit!
This one has a preloading page (which leaves automatically) but it is a great one page design and has some nice artwork too:

a different kind of one pager, but interesting …

I decided to break away from one pagers recently. Came up with this:
http://www.arthero.com/ (sorry IE6)

Thanks for the post! Some grate sites. Regarding those which are all flash I am not sure if they should be included on the ‘one page sites’ but anyway I enjoyed them

Wow a truly wonderful list of one-page sites and it was entertaining as well!
I am making this as the “Post of the Day” for my “Post Awards”.

definitely some rough diamonds here
But aren’t some of those multiple page sites?
great list! thanks.
here’s one I made to sell my van last year… I’ve removed the sale and contact info, but the rest is as it was…

I really like the one for Dulcimer street.
Not to take away from any of them (because they are all good), but almost all of them are effective/beautiful because of excellent graphic design.
Hellya, this is no comment section any more, it’s now a free PR section.
Milo, I’ve been going through all the spam comments and removing them. I’ve left the genuine ones in though.
Cool list, I thought http://www.niallwalsh.net worked as a one pager!
hohoho~~~
This list is Amazing…hope on day have a site like this…nice work
yes, one page websites can do well on the web, but one needs a GREAT idea for that.
My all time favorite is Hell Design. it’s really neat and terribly efficient. #1
very good,i like it
Here is the best of all One page Websites:

Great choices. I am a fan of one pager, hence the site dedicated to it. New features and sections are going to be added to onepagefolios.com soon.
mine’s been a one-pager for over a year now at least.
That’s not one page – this is one page!

My page (http://www.mikkaworks.com used to be a one-pager, but had to add some extra pages. It still has that one page quality which a lot of stuff accesible from the front page.
What an excellent idea. A design achievement in itself… trying to fit everything onto one page in a stylish way. I have to go away and ponder now…
I kinda like sites with more than one page. Sort of like I like mice with more than one button. I dunno that’s just me though.
Another great one page site: http://www.azumavega.com/
I am taking a a lot on notes on design for my new Nintendo Wii site..hope get good like that.:)
Good site – you’re a pretty good writer….. Very creative…
