SIngle-Page Web Design

I read this interesting article, "Exploration of Single-Page Websites," by Steven Bradley. It share some pretty awesome examples of web designs that only use one page:

Jess & Russ's website is actually a wedding invitation, and shares the story of the couple. You scroll downwards through beautiful designs and illustrations. It uses Parallax effects that have images scroll up as you scroll down, which add excitement and interest to the sight.

The Ballantyne site is also a single page, but has some navigation buttons as well as scrolling. It has three columns, as you scroll down the main center column the outer columns scroll upwards.

The UK Energy Consumption site uses the one page navigation, allowing the user to scroll down, and also has interactive buttons within its beautiful infographics. This is a perfect blend of good illustration, infographics, and web design.
