What is a single-page website?

You may be wondering what a single-page website is and whether you have ever used one. Simply put, it's a website with only a single page split into sections, using buttons to anchor to the different sections. These sections usually contain little information; they are essentially the equivalent of separate pages in a larger website.

Single-page websites are commonly used for the following types of websites:

  • Portfolio
  • Landing page
  • Coming soon page
  • App page
  • Simple gallery
  • Product page
