Time To Go Pageless? 8 Reasons Why Pageless Design is Future of Web Design

Time To Go Pageless? 8 Reasons Why Pageless Design is Future of Web Design | Must Design | Scoop.it

Pageless design frees websites from the outdated conventions of print design and fully utilizes the digital platform they’re built on. 

8 Compelling Reasons Why "Pageless' Web Design Wins (in the end):


* Tells a better story.

* Easier to "digest" or understand what to do.

* Emotionally more powerful.

* Higher Conversion Rates!!!
* Makes updating faster & easier.

* Lowers BOUNCE & encourages sharing.

* Looks great on all devices (mobile included).

* Lower cost to develop.

Marty Note
I confess to not being in love with the "infinite scroll" just yet. One modification we worked out for @Curagami, our Startup Factory funded startup, is to include a Call-To-Action at the top & Bottom.

CTAs help prepare the scroll. Remember "open book" tests? Putting a CTA on top of a waterfall of content helps prep a visitors mind. It "opens the book" for them. With this many impressive benefits I'm going to have to figure out how to start loving "pageless" design (lol).

I bet there are 5 (or so) similar modifications we can make to help us know how to create the paths and conversion we want by going "pageless".

Red & Black Website Templates
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

One of the first books I read about website design, this would have been in 1998 or so, said use red, black and white because nothing looks better. These templates demonstrate how powerful these three colors can be all by themselves.

They also demonstrate the power of Occam's razor. Remove things down to a simple core and your website becomes more powerful due to one of those web design anomalies - less is more.

Smooth Scroll One Page Website Designs Inspire

Smooth Scroll One Page Website Designs Inspire | Must Design | Scoop.it
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

As much as I love the smooth scroll in concept its SEO implications feel immense. Google, as a friend so accurately told me recently, indexes web PAGES. One thing that makes your website more valuable to Google is page spread.

Amazon has 1.4B pages (give or take) indexed. How can a 1 page smooth scroll site compete with that? Not sure it can, but interesting to try. What is clear is competing in the same way as Amazon built their now enviable content archive and partner network is impossible. That ship has sailed.

The only option is disruption.
