Many new startup founders spend much time designing, developing, and making marketing on their new website!
Many of them underrate the one-page website believing that a multi-page layout looks more "professional". However, one-page websites offer a number of benefits that make them a great choice for their startup.
- It's easier to tell the story
- They simplify the CTA
- They are easier to maintain
- They are better for mobile
So don't hesitate to adopt one-page websites!
What are your thoughts on one-page websites?

I wholeheartedly agree with the benefits of one-page websites for startups. They allow a compelling storytelling, simplified CTA, easy maintenance, and better mobile accessibility. While they might not suit every startup, for those with straightforward offerings, one-page websites can be a powerful and efficient choice. Thanks for bringing up this topic!

@endrit_graphic Thank you, Endrit, for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad you agree with the benefits of one-page websites for startups. You're right, they truly offer a compelling storytelling experience, simplified CTA, and easy maintenance, making them a powerful choice for straightforward offerings. While they might not fit every startup, it's essential to consider their efficiency and accessibility for the right context.
I am not a fan of one-pagers, to be honest. Sure, they make a great Landing Page to showcase your offering, but they cannot act as a standalone website. Think SEO. The whole reason for you to have a website is to be discovered organically through search engines. And you cannot address all related keywords of your industry to your one page. I do however acknowledge the benefits of a UI/UX point of view. But sometimes the classic way of doing things is there for a reason.
@alkeo_taga Thank you for sharing your perspective as a Marketer! You make a valid point about one-page websites not being suitable for all situations, especially when it comes to SEO and organic discoverability.
But I still think that the New Start-up Founders think too much on their website. Sometimes I say - Man just publish it, look at your audience, and enhance your website day by day!
A startup website should definitely not be big, the main thing is to convey information about the product.
It depends heavily on what you are trying to do. If your product's an iOS app, a one-pager might be enough, or maybe not. Depends on the situation. I agree with "Man just publish it, look at your audience, and enhance your website day by day!" though. Sometimes just getting it out there is more important than designing and developing everything to perfection.
@moritztomasi Totally agree. Btw I checked your product website mailbites.io and this is what I am talking about. Simple and clean!
Maybe a one-page site is enough for a startup, the main thing is that it be informative.
I do agree with this.
