One page website for start up business

Which platform do you recommend ? I was thinking about WordPress. Is there any good free page builder plugins for WordPress 3.8 ? Any suggestion are always welcome.

 

There are many page builder i have seen, but one page builder plugin will help you to build parallax one page website.
Its paid plugin name 'Parallax One Page Builder Wordpress Plugin'.
I would recommended you to hire some developer and build website, instead of using plugin.

 

Thanks @karand19 . Any free alternatives to Parallax plugin ?

 

Can't find free one page builder plugin, but i haven't tried other page builder. Just search 'page builder' in wordpress.org plugins page.

 

There are many page builder plugins for WordPress, however, I would suggest you to go for one page WordPress theme instead of using a plugin, they come with tons of features. Also they look very professional.

 

I will check. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Dhiraj. Could you suggest any good theme ? This will be an educational center.

 

You can find some amazing one page themes here (http://www.indexwp.com/one-page-wordpress-themes-2014/)

 

Wordpress CMS is already free. you can build over there.

 

Thanks @DhirajDas , CW.

I would prefer WP anytime. Just that need a good template.

 

WP because it's easy, and if you suddenly decide to scale-up your website, it's going to be very easy to do that with WP.

 

If it's only going to be one page... WHAT THE BLUE BLAZES WOULD YOU BE WASTING A MASSIVE BLOATED SLOW BLOGGING SYSTEM WITH CRAP MARKUP ON IT FOR!?!?!

Sorry, but.... whiskey tango foxtrot?!? I mean, turdpress is herpaderp enough all on it's own... but for a SINGLE PAGE SITE?!? SNAFU, TARFU, FUBAR, BOHICA.

 

if you want to make one page website http://bootstraptaste.com/free-one-page-bootstrap-template-amoeba/
goto this link and download free html responsive template and just edit it if you know html. so simple

 

it is better to hire a developer to create a one page website for you instead of using plugins or free templates.

'Cos it takes about 10 minutes and requires no skill. Install, choose theme, enter text. Add caching plugin so the page sits in server memory. Job done. Yes, it's using a sledgehammer to crack a grain of sand, but it's also incredibly easy to add to later on and costs no money to DIY.

Mr. Proper Solution takes a back seat when Mrs. Time and Mrs. Budget are driving.

 

Which has always struck me as "pay more later for something you can't afford now" thinking -- same type of asshattery that makes people fall for pyramid schemes like Insurance, or become so reliant on credit everyone is dying in debt and tanking the enconomy in the process.

Between the hours or even days it takes to bend turdpress over the table to make it even APPROACH clean markup, accessible design, and make it do whatever it is they want the ONE STATIC PAGE to do -- I fail to see how it would actually be any 'easier' if you have to knowledge to even be ALLOWED to have a website in the first place. No matter how allegedly "easy" turdpress is, I cannot fathom how ANYONE is DUMB ENOUGH to use it by choice given the endless laundry-list of how not to build (or secure) a website it is.

The most important word is in this thread's title -- BUSINESS. Anyone who starts out their business cutting every corner taking sleazy halfwit shortcuts and failing to plan for the future properly... well... Probably deserves the failure that is almost certain to follow. Of course, that seems to describe 90%+ of startups these days.

Though I shouldn't be too surprised at horrifically bad future planning when the average US household debt is over $225k; why should businesses and government be run any better? Next thing you know, Odumba will call credit the life-blood of the economy -- when Peter Schiff had it right, it's not the life blood, it's cancer.

... and that's what idiotic halfwit bull like turdpress, Joomla, LESS, SASS, OOCSS, Blueprint, Bootstrap, YUI, anything involving the use of 'grids', and HTML 5 is so far as web development: Cancer... Put any more than three of them together, and you've upgraded to AIDS.

 

Same reasons as above: time and budget. Why spend an hour building a lovely, beautifully marked-up one-page site when I can spend six minutes bashing the same thing together in WP?

So it's marked up wrong. So it uses more bandwidth. So it's not perfect or secure or anything. It took six minutes.

Business planning doesn't really have anything to do with bad webpage markup, now, does it?

You know I love it when you talk dirty. I'm just disappointed you didn't use the word "asshattery" - that one always makes me smile.

And you know I agree with you in principle, but in a way it's the same as fishing out a lovely piece of heavy gsm paper, your beautiful $500 fountain pen and hand-made ink to jot "Back in 5 minutes". Yes, it's much better to do things properly, but if cutting a corner doesn't damage anything (apart from your designer principles), I can understand it.

Understand, not necessarily condone.

 

It does when that bad markup costs twice as much (or 40 times as much when you add on the overhead of a full blogging system to a single static page) to host; it does when that bad markup hampers accessibility limiting your target audience; It does when that bad markup makes it cost you more in the long term when you decide you want to change something.

Naturally you get the "oh but Opera users are less than 3%" and "people browsing without CSS is less than 1%" and "people using screen readers is only 1.5%" malarkey as a defense -- the problem being that attitude usually results in 100% total sooner than later; and it's easy to dismiss a single digit percent -- it's NOT easy to dismiss tens of millions of potential lost visitors, particularly when -- to quote a dearly departed friend "This is the Internet, the only thing we know about who will visit your site is we don't know who will visit your site!"

Again, the pay more later for something you can't afford now mentality.

Oh, and I'm too busy dealing with governmentard asshattery to waste such a wonderful word on web development at the moment.

 

Oh, and forget not that when the code bloat, idiotic framework garbage and other idiocy making the site "slow" once it has real traffic (if EVER) the know-nothing will go "why is my site slow" and then get duped into throwing more code at it by the script-tards in the form of AJAX, wasting more money on CDN services, and fall prey to a whole bunch of other scams rather than actually fix the deep rooted core problems since at that point it's either "too late" or "too much effort".

As Patton said, A pint of sweat now saves a gallon of blood later.

 

I must intrude here because it sounds like using WordPress is less safe than getting someone code the page for you.

 

For a one page website why use a CMS?
Just build a bootstrap one page website, plenty of tutorials on the bootstrap site and youtube
