If there are navigational links, they jump to different homepage sections rather than loading new pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/creating-ux-portfolio-4-dos-donts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UX portfolio website<\/a> from Australian freelance UX designer Petar Ceklic demonstrates a typical single-page design with navigation and a footer contact form. Petar uses a large image carousel to display his portfolio, which includes website and app projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-typical-use-cases-for-a-single-page-website\">Typical Use Cases for a Single-Page Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Designers commonly use single-page designs for landing pages. Keeping users on a single page eliminates distractions while increasing leads and sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Single-page designs are also an excellent option for websites with minimal content like portfolios, small businesses, single-product eCommerce sites, and brick-and-mortar businesses, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-benefits-of-a-single-page-website\">What are the Benefits of a Single-Page Website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Single-page designs allow users to digest the entire website simply by scrolling. This functionality is beneficial for mobile users where the primary navigation is typically hidden.<\/li><li>Single-page websites are often easier to design because designers don&#8217;t have to worry about the information architecture and other characteristics of multi-page sites.<\/li><li>It&#8217;s easier for engineers to program a single-page website without using front-end frameworks and other development tools. They can use basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript, thus reducing the website&#8217;s size and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/important-considerations-responsive-design-performance-ux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increasing performance<\/a>.<\/li><li>Single-page websites are excellent for getting users to take a specific action, like contacting a business, newsletter signups, buying a product\/service, etc.<\/li><li>A single entry point (the homepage) allows designers and marketers to control the user experience and present a consistent narrative to visitors.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-disadvantages-of-a-single-page-website\">What are the Disadvantages of a Single-Page Website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It&#8217;s important to note that single-page websites aren&#8217;t easy! It can be challenging for designers to prioritize and structure content to serve users and business goals.<\/li><li>While single-page websites can deliver better performance, if designers use a lot of media (images and video), it can increase page load times\u2013engineers can fix this issue with <a href=\"https:\/\/css-tricks.com\/snippets\/javascript\/lazy-loading-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">lazy loading<\/a> and other performance-enhancing techniques.<\/li><li>Single-page websites limit SEO and keyword strategies. While a well-optimized single-page site can rank as high or higher than a multi-page competitor, it&#8217;s limited to a primary keyword and a collection of related terms.<\/li><li>Single-page designs restrict your ability to expand your website or scale your brand without a redesign.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-multi-page-websites\">Multi-Page Websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/screens-prototyping.png\" alt=\"screens prototyping\" class=\"wp-image-35008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/screens-prototyping.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/screens-prototyping-700x280.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-multi-page-website\">What is a Multi-Page Website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-page websites have more than one page with navigation for users to move around the site. Most businesses use multi-page designs because it allows them to separate content, products, topics, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple pages mean users have numerous entry points to discover your website via search engines, social media, and other websites. For example, a news publisher like the BBC has tens, if not hundreds of thousands of pages where users can enter the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-cases-for-a-multi-page-website\">Use Cases for a Multi-Page Website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most websites use a multi-page layout, especially eCommerce stores with multiple products, blogs, and news sites, which use different pages to separate categories and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">New York Times<\/a> is an excellent example of a multi-page layout. The header navigation provides users quick access to popular news topics, with the homepage dedicated to the world&#8217;s biggest stories of the day. NY Times&#8217; footer includes additional links to news categories, policies, contacts, and other helpful information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-benefits-of-a-multi-page-website\">What are the Benefits of a Multi-Page Website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Multi-page sites allow users to navigate to the content they value most rather than scrolling down a single page to find what they need.<\/li><li>Multi-page websites provide many SEO benefits and opportunities for marketers to target different keywords and topics\u2013especially if the website has a blog.<\/li><li>Designers can add new pages to scale a multi-page website.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-disadvantages-of-a-multi-page-website\">What are the Disadvantages of a Multi-Page Website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Large websites require careful consideration for information architecture and making content discoverable. This process increases costs and time-to-market.<\/li><li>Multi-page websites have bigger file sizes and process more server requests, increasing hosting costs.<\/li><li>It takes longer to update the design and content for a multi-page website, especially for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/best-practices-examples-of-excellent-responsive-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">responsive design<\/a>.<\/li><li>With the ability to enter a website from multiple pages, designers and marketers must create CTAs site-wide to funnel users to products and services.

We&#8217;ve identified three primary factors that influence most projects when deciding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Business goals:<\/strong> what do you want to achieve?<\/li><li><strong>Content:<\/strong> how much content do you want to display?<\/li><li><strong>SEO:<\/strong> what are your content digital marketing goals?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-business-goals\">Business Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people and businesses create websites with an intent or purpose. Single-page web design is excellent if you have a focused business goal like acquiring leads, promoting app downloads, or selling a single product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating separate pages is best if you have more than one CTA or promote multiple products\/services. This separation allows you to create different campaigns for targeted audiences and funnel them to a single call to action. Multiple actions on a single page can cause confusion and impact conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-content\">Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount and type of content you need to display can impact your decision significantly. For example, multiple videos increase a page&#8217;s file size, adversely affecting performance\u2013even YouTube videos add additional requests when loading a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Images also decrease page performance, particularly on mobile devices and users with poor internet connection. Designers must consider how content will impact the user experience and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/accessibility-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accessibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-search-engine-optimization-seo\">Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is another crucial deciding factor for single-page vs. multi-page web design. A single-page design is adequate if you only need to target one primary keyword, but a multi-page design is the better option for a diversified SEO strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-tips-about-deciding-between-single-page-and-multi-page-design\">7 Tips about Deciding Between Single-Page and Multi-Page Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/design-prototyping-collaboration-interaction.png\" alt=\"design prototyping collaboration interaction\" class=\"wp-image-35209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/design-prototyping-collaboration-interaction.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/design-prototyping-collaboration-interaction-700x280.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gathercontent.com\/designing-content-first-for-a-better-ux\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">content-first approach<\/a>.
