What do you think of single page websites?

old post but since a few other people commented here is my take,

Single page websites are great for google actually. If its built correctly and have a good amount of content the page can rank great! if you focus on validating all the code and have ZERO errors and make the sitemap (Yes a sitemap is needed for a single page) and good keyword managment you can have a single page site rank on page one.

a nice parallax page with roughly 1000 words, proper use of h1-h5 tags etc and i will bet your site ranks good
