One-page web design (also known as ‘single page web design’) is a trend that’s really taken off this last decade. Although it’s been around since the beginning of the web itself, one-page design seemed to take a backseat for years — as companies and individuals alike opted for more all-encompassing sites with often dozens of pages. As time passed however, one-page design was revisited with more modern web-design know-how and a better understanding of user-focused design in general. As a result, the practice saw a fierce resurgence in 2012 that’s continued pretty much ever since — and still showing no signs of stopping anytime soon!
Nowadays, both designers and developers recognize the potential of one-page design for simplifying websites and, in some instances, boosting conversions — amongst other benefits. Never one to be left behind, the WordPress community has of course largely embraced this design trend (despite WordPress being a content management system designed primarily to manage complex websites) 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 specific theme marketplace – ThemeForest.
Why Use 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, not only provides these two extremely insightful snippets of info, it also lists a host of other helpful information, such as the date of the most recent update, creation dates, user comments and more. That makes it considerably easier to pick a theme that will set you up for future success.
Without further ado, let’s get straight into our list of 15 of the best one-page WordPress themes on ThemeForest. We’ve included ThemeForest heavyweights like Avada, relative newcomers like Blanka, and everything in between. So there should be something for everyone!
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 Avada’s parallax functionality.
Avada has over 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).
