A one page website - a quick, effective and extremely affordable website solution 
A one page website can be a useful alternative to a full site. There are some things to consider when you think you need only one page on the web. Some advantages of a one page website include:

- It extremely affordable - So it's great for those on a small budget
- They're very quick to design and publish online
- It's a good temporary solution for newly purchased domains
- They can be used as a straight forward 'sales' page with a call to action
- They are useful for those who wish to sell a range of specific products or services
- You want to convert a printed brochure to a digital format (html)
- Add multiple interactive elements - link to your ebay listings, youtube videos and twitter feeds

The sales page, sometimes known as a conversion page or squeeze page, is aimed at generating interest from visitors.

It should have well written, sales driven copy, and should have a call to action such as a contact form or pay now link. These kind of web pages are also well used with pay per click campaigns such as with google.

One page websites can be used with online marketing strategies. Maybe you have a dozen or so different domain names associated with your business, and need a page for each to help boost your online advertising. These domain names can be linked with each other to build your presence on the web. Each of your web pages can be tailored to fit each sector of your customer market.

When you decide to invest in some kind of website, sometimes its tricky to figure out what you really need. You have just bought a domain name - the perfect one! - and you just need to pull something together for the website. And that's where the head scratching can start when deciding on the right content. Having a one page website first gets the ball rolling quickly. Websites are of course dynamic in nature and can be built over time.

Here are some examples of existing one page websites designed by JMC Website Design:

Logo Design - What I've been working on 
In the run up to Christmas I've had a few last minute jobs come in. I'm currently working with Lee from Bespoke Pools & Spas Preston who needs a new website. As part of his package, I'm helping him with his branding and logo. These are some of the final designs I came up with:



I evolved from being a Graphic Designer doing this type of work, but that was a long time ago, so my logo skills are a bit rusty! I tried to follow the best advice I learned from college about logo design.

-Keep it simple
-Keep it legible
-Make it easily transferrable (printable in black and white, smaller fonts etc)

And for you folk who are curious, Lee chose design number 2! Next phase for me is to create some web page layouts incorporating Lees new logo...
