Best one page WordPress themes
If you are looking for a great WordPress theme, you might want to consider a simple one-page theme from Theme Forest. There are some definite advantages to using a premium, one-page theme. Let’s look at why you might want to do this and then explore some of the best themes currently available.
Benefits of One-Page Themes
Some people assume that larger sites are more impressive and search engines like them more, but very often the opposite is true. One page sites have some distinct advantages over larger ones:
-
Faster Loading
This helps you retain visitors and it’s also good for SEO purposes.
-
Easier to Navigate
People won’t get lost or confused amongst all your pages.
-
Easy to Maintain
When you have a big site, it’s easy to lose track of what you’re doing. With a single page, everything is right in front of you!
-
Ranking Advantage
When there are multiple pages, SEO benefits can get divided among them. With only one page, all of your traffic and link juice goes to the same place.
Now let’s look at some of the best one-page WordPress themes which I like. Some of them I have used either for my own sites or for my clients.
