One-page web design (also known as single page web design) is a trend that’s really taken off this past decade. Although it’s been around since the beginning of the web, it took a backseat for years, as companies and individuals alike opted for all-encompassing sites with dozens of pages. As time passed, however, one-page design was revisited with modern web design know-how and a better understanding of user-focused design. As a result, it saw a fierce resurgence in 2012 that continued ever since — and it still shows no signs of stopping!
Nowadays, both designers and developers recognize the potential of one-page design for simplifying websites and, in some instances, boosting conversions (among other benefits). Never one to be left behind, and despite WordPress being a content management system designed primarily to manage complex websites, the WordPress community has embraced this design trend and produced a truly impressive array of one-page WordPress themes.
In this post, we’re going to look at 15 of the best one-page WordPress themes from one theme marketplace — ThemeForest.
Why ThemeForest?
While there are many fantastic one-page WordPress themes available away from ThemeForest (such as Flat by Themify, Parallax Pro by StudioPress and Freelancer by ThemeFuse to name a few), none of the other third-party marketplaces or theme shops provide sales figures or, more importantly, customer reviews.
ThemeForest, on the other hand, give not only these two extremely insightful snippets of information, they also list a host of other helpful things, such as the date of the most recent update, creation dates, user comments and more, making it easier to get a comprehensive feel for just how well-received these themes are!
Let’s get straight into our list of amazing one-page WordPress themes!
1. Avada
As the best-selling ThemeForest theme of all time, Avada is more than just a one-page WordPress theme. But through its many included demos and core functionality, it’s easy to set up your own one-page design.
In addition to several one-page demos that you can import yourself, Theme Fusion, the developer behind Avada, also has a detailed tutorial on how to create your own one-page design with Avada that makes use of its parallax functionality.
Avada has more than 416,000 sales for a reason — it’s flexible, easy to customize, and lets you make a great-looking site. (Note: Check out some examples of Avada sites here.)
