Parallax Websites

[Cocoonfxmedia]

Hi

Just wanting to see what peoples view is on Parallax websites (all content on 1 page separated into sections), and does Google see them as a good user experience or would they be seen as difficult to read for a search engine i.e not enough content?

Hi,

I think the information you are looking for is in this article:

I would not recommend a one-page website for SEO, but it depends on what the goal of your site is.

Hi,

To put it simply, anyone that is looking to benefit from SEO will not be using a one page website.

After the keyword research has been executed, how would you outrank the competition for 50+ diverse search terms all stemming from one page?

In the world of SEO, it is general knowledge that you can only realistically optimise a single page for only a handful of search terms.

And in my opinion, even the user experience is debatable as the user is forced to re-evaluate the way a site functions (clicking a link triggers a scrolling effect for instance).

For me personally, one page sites are a major no no, unless of course you're not looking to SEO the site.

Regards,

Hi,

Parallax scrolling websites are not limited to one page web design which is bad for SEO. Parallax scrolling is a design technique that can be applied to multiple pages on one website. Many people confuse one page web design with parallax scrolling. Parallax scrolling is not limited to one page web design.

That's right it depends on goals. If it's a single service / single product website targeting only one main keyword/topic, one page might be OK. I would definitely check out the article linked to!
