Most successful websites on the internet are basically large; they contain lots of pages and content that keeps their audience coming back. But sometimes, less is actually an advantage in the business of web design. Instead of creating a website with lots of pages and content, you can take a different path by creating a one-page website on WordPress.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how well you can use WordPress to create a one-page website.

Why Create a One-page Website?

A lot of websites have different pages and lots of content on them. They usually carry a contact page, a home page, and pages that show the kind of services the content owner offers.

When creating a one-page website, you can place all the needed information on one single page. You also save the whole time of clicking page by page to navigate your site.

Some other benefits you will enjoy are listed below:

  • You won’t find maintaining the site stressful. This is because there’s little content to keep up with
  • Many users will admire it because of its simplicity.

Although a one-page website will not be the right choice for everyone, it has a lot of advantages for small business owners.

Most welcome, Lea! Glad you found it exciting and informative! When it comes to setting up a one-page website, the Elementor plugin is an essential tool.

Thank you for the lesson. I would be scared if my computer monitor had a similar image.

Best wishes,

I am definitely going to practice building one using a free site to start. I'm still getting use to Gutenberg after finally taking the leap from classic editor. Hated Gutenberg at first, but it's growing on me now and my navigation has much improved. I'm surprised at the amount of plugins available to use with Gutenberg. This could be a great technique to promote just one really specific high ticket affiliate promotion.
Thanks!

What a more advanced editor plugin in WordPress! You weren't alone! So many people told me they initially hated Gutenberg but have now started getting used to it. Thanks again!

Great. So do you link internally to different places on the same page?

Hi you can yes.

Perhaps it is a pillar post and creating a table of contents. So you are anchor linking if it clicked upon to where to reach focused content.

Some may do an overall front page and it lists different articles within their site (not necessarily same page), however I'd always keep it relevant and don't over it.
