One-page websites, and when they are enough.
The honest answer about single-page sites: what they do well, what they cost you, and why the price here is the same anyway.
One-page websites are usually sold as the budget option. It is worth knowing what the saving actually costs you before you choose one.
The price here does not change with the page count — £350 all in either way — so this page is advice rather than an upsell.
When one page works
Genuinely fine, in these cases.
One service, one area
If you do one thing in one town, a single well-written page can cover it without stretching.
You are already known
If most of your work comes by word of mouth, the site's job is to confirm you are real and let people ring you.
A launch or an event
Short-lived things do not need structure behind them.
What it costs you
Where a single page holds you back.
One page ranks for one thing
Google ranks pages, not businesses. Five services on one page compete with each other; five pages each get their own chance.
Local searches go missing
If you work across several towns, one page cannot sensibly name them all, which is precisely what people search for.
Long scrolls lose people on phones
Everything crammed into one column means the thing your customer wants is a lot of swipes away.
It has to be redone later
Growing out of a one-page site means restructuring it. Starting with the right pages avoids paying twice.
