1-Page website vs. 5-Page website

The choice between a 1-page website and a 5-page website really depends on your goals, content, and how you want to present your brand. Here's a quick comparison to help you decide:

1-Page Website:

• Best for: Simple, focused websites where the goal is to keep things concise (e.g., portfolio, event, landing page, small business).

• Pros:

  • Simpler navigation: Everything is on one page, so users scroll to find what they need.

  • Faster development: Easier and quicker to build compared to a multi-page site.

  • Lower cost: Typically cheaper to design, develop, and maintain.

  • Mobile-friendly: Easier to optimize for mobile since users just scroll.

  • Focused messaging: Can streamline the content and focus on one clear call-to-action (CTA).

• Cons:

  • Limited content: Harder to expand with more detailed information over time.

  • SEO limitations: With less content, you might rank lower for multiple search terms.

  • Scaling issues: If your business grows and needs more information, a 1-page site can become cramped.

5-Page Website:

• Best for: Businesses or personal sites that need to present more information (e.g., an about page, services, blog, etc.).

• Pros:

  • More detailed content: You can dedicate a separate page to each topic (e.g., about, services, blog, contact).

  • Better for SEO: More pages allow you to target a wider range of keywords and rank higher in search results.

  • Scalability: Easier to add more pages or sections as your business grows.

  • Professional image: Often seen as more professional and robust for businesses looking to build a strong online presence.

• Cons:

  • More complex navigation: You’ll need to design an intuitive menu or navigation system.

  • Longer development time: More pages means more design, content creation, and coding.

  • Higher cost: More time and effort usually leads to higher costs for development and maintenance.

When to choose which?

• Go with a 1-page website if you want simplicity, quick development, and if your message or offering is straightforward.

• Opt for a 5-page website if you have a variety of services/products or need more detailed information to build trust with your audience.
