What is the difference between a one-page website layout
The layout for a one-page website contains more information and interactive elements than a regular corporate website. Here, a single page must fulfill the functionality of the entire site, so individual screens must be carefully designed. Lots of free space, animation and parallax scroll distinguish single-page sites.

The main goal of a landing page is conversion. That’s why the landing page includes a form for purchase or subscription, large contact buttons, calls to action, etc.
Can I use a template for the layout of the site?
You can. We make layouts with a unique design, but if you found a website template you like on the internet, we can make a website layout taking into account your comments on the structure. In this case, the timeline may be reduced to a week since we will not be doing the design.
Types of website layouts
Fixed page layout
When designing such a layout, it is taken into account that the sizes of all elements will be set in pixels. This makes it possible to use life-size images. However, when used on smaller screens, the user will see a horizontal bar to scroll through the site, which brings inconvenience. Your right to order the layout of the site under the fixed layout, it is the easiest to implement. However, in a world where the majority of users are mobile, we don’t advise choosing this option.
Rubberized web site layout
In this case, the dimensions of the site elements will be set relatively – in percentages. Its difficult to implement so that the site looks equally good on all devices. On wide screens, the site can simply “sprawl” in the browser, losing its appeal. On a phone, items can turn into small blocks that can be difficult to click on.
Adaptive website layout
Creating a responsive HTML website layout allows a website to look good on different devices. For this purpose, the layout of the site is optimized specifically for different screen sizes of computers, tablets and phones. When a user visits the site, the device type is detected and the appropriate version of the site is given.
Responsive website layout
This construction of the site layout combines adaptive and rubber design: the site automatically adjusts to the size of the screen, while the page elements that the user will see may change. This is taken into account when creating the layout, because in doing so, the designer is not as bound by screen sizes and having to think about how the site will look on a small screen.
Site layout requirements
Below are the layout requirements we adhere to:
- individual design elements are presented on separate layers;
- the grid is clearly followed and takes into account the future framework;
- Clean and simple (no translucent gradients);
- modernity of design;
- use of web fonts;
- adequacy – perhaps the most important thing, because we do not have misunderstandings between designers and layout designer, which saves development time.
