Websites come in all shapes and sizes. In recent years, the single page website (1 page website) has been on the rise. And yes, these websites usually look very nice and visitors immediately see all the information.
Yet there are reasons not to do this. Below you will find some of them.

  • Size & loading time: All information on one page often does not improve the user experience. Visitors must scan the entire page to find what they are looking for. In addition, a large page loads less quickly. This is especially a point of attention on mobile devices. Often only the main page on www.uwdomeinnaam.nl/ is large and subpages are a lot smaller, which means they load faster, or in other words the loading time. For Google this is a very important point with regard to ranking.
  • SEO: The biggest problem is findability in Google. With all the information on one page, Google is usually unable to determine what the text is about. If your services, contact details, contact form, prices, customer ratings, etc. are on one page, keywords will be underexposed. Websites where each keyword has its own page generally receive priority from Google in this case. Of course you can have a 1 page website optimized. However, you are then limited to a narrower spectrum of keywords.
  • Statistics: Because there is only one page, it is difficult to determine which specific content has been viewed by the visitor. Analytics shows a considerably less extensive overview than with a multipage website. Whether this is a problem depends entirely on what the purpose of the website is.e

AAll in all, a single page or 1 page website is a great solution for events, foundations or other organizations. A one-page website is also recommended for targeting specific keywords. This is due to the relatively low costs for production and maintenance.

If you, as a self-employed person or SME, want to show a complete overview of your services, a website with multiple pages is the more obvious choice.
