Single Page or Multipage? Choose with care

It seems the ever raging debate between single page and multipage websites has still not seen its culmination. With a constant struggle to remain at the top of the current website designing trends, it becomes a task to incorporate both functionality and an upgraded look to the site. Though, to choose one over the other based simply on how it would look, compromising efficiency in the process is not ideal.

An Overview Single Page Websites as the name suggests are websites with just a single page which are easier to create and has sleek look in comparison to its alternative, Multipage Websites. Research shows that web surfers do not spend quite a lot of time on a single

website if the content does not suit their purpose. Single Pages thus seem to offer a perfect solution as content is dispersed coherently throughout the site without the user having to move to different pages.

Multipage Websites, on the other hand are increasingly being overlooked in favour of the de-cluttered display that Single Pages offer. It is however necessary to look to this particular website design if the content covers a broad range of topics and the services provided by the site can simply not be made to fit on a single page. Multipage is often sidelined as web developers are increasingly leaning more toward modern, more newer designs to attract traffic than what is suitable for the website.

Single as well as Multipage websites both have their perks and disadvantages and thus to enlist the help of website design companies to create a sustainable website has to be given a lot of consideration.

Benefits Single Page Websites With the use of coding languages such as jQuery, JavaScript, Ajax, Single Page Websites allow users to access content easily while navigating through just a singular page. This also lets the developers to get more creative and design the page in such a way that the user interactivity is increased manifold. Navigation links in this page less design take users to the content that is relevant instead of making them move around to different pages. This increases the site’s credibility to retain users as they get a perfectly uninterrupted flow of content at their disposal. Single Pages though look very efficient on the surface and in line with the current responsive web designing trend it however lacks the expertise to handle larger businesses which have an overflow of content.

Multi-Page Websites The overall structure of the website must be taken into account before using either of the options. Users might often face difficulties while trying to navigate through content that are all crammed into a single web page. And this is where the utility of Multi-Page websites stand out. Having separate pages for topics also enhances the user’s ability to get a complete idea of what the site is trying to convey instead of having reduced content on a singular page. It is deemed appropriate for eCommerce sites, for instance, that need to have users move to different pages to have their needs met. Though it might seem like a deterrent, multi pages become a necessity to increase the number of hits on a site.

When more than one page is used to list the varied topics, the developers are automatically being specific and this allows search engines to direct web surfers to those very content that can be found on these websites.

It thus becomes a choice for web developers to settle between the two depending on the scope of their website. To conclude, we can state that websites that aim to be small scale target a select few audience and do not require extensive marketing, page less websites might be the right option. However, bigger businesses should be more cautious while settling between the two.
