One Page Sites: The Next Big Web Design Trend of 2015?
We made our first one page site design back in 2011. It seemed odd then because we were utilizing the preferred design principles of app developers for a small business/organization website. We made two or three one-pagers for clients, they worked beautifully, and we felt like we were on the bleeding-edge of web design. But then…nothing. The long-held web design principles were held a little tighter, and our one page sites seemed like such an oddity in our portfolio next to more traditional fare. Fast forward three years, and now one page sites are EVERYWHERE. Seriously, you’ll run into one about once a day. So why now?
Our New Site and What I Learned
I’m really proud of the work that the team did on the site to bring it into the world, the development is top-notch. And, I’m happy with the design work that I did in the process. That said, I’ll never ever ever ever ever do it again. Not ever. Never. Why? Well, it is pretty simple.
Hail WebM!
In the next couple of months, you will be noticing a new way to view videos on the internet. It’s not going to be a huge evolutionary leap forward like virtual reality, but it is significant enough to warrant some excitement from the folks that develop the websites you use everyday. It’s called WebM.
Update: What’s been happening at Envy Creative
The last few weeks here at Envy have been pretty exciting. We finished off the year with a few great projects that we’re really proud of.
Site of the Week #1
This is a beautiful site and a very cool concept. I love the big color blocks and the type choices are simply phenomenal. The menu and the item pages are perfectly designed.
