Unlike a multi-page site that provides comprehensive information about a company, a single-page site usually focuses on a specific purpose. For example, increasing sales or converting potential buyers into leads.
In this article, we’ll show you how to create a one-page website for free in just an hour using the Cloud retouch Landing Page Builder and Design Templates.
Why do you need a one-page website?
As mentioned above, the one-page site has a specific goal – to induce the user to take action. For example, make a purchase, subscribe to a newsletter, go to your online store, and much more. Therefore, there is often a button with a CTA (call to action).
Signs of a quality one-page site
One site – one action. Each landing page should lead to one specific action – otherwise, the visitor can get confused, which will lead to a decrease in conversions. If you want to sell a specific product, conduct a survey, and showcase a new collection, create a separate site for each of these actions.
Simplicity and consistency. The one-page website design should be minimalistic and easy to navigate. Headings, subheadings, buttons, and design elements should complement each other and not compete for the reader’s attention.
A clear guide to action. The site visitor should know what action is required of him and what benefit he will get by performing this action. Therefore, a key element of a landing page is noticeable buttons with striking CTAs (for example, “Buy now” or “Subscribe”).
Professional look. A site with an outdated design, poor UX, or poor layout is unlikely to inspire trust in potential customers. So make sure your one-page page is up to date with web design trends. Cloud retouch users can create a website from scratch using free templates – they can be easily customized to suit business needs without deep knowledge of web design.
