The single page website that I choose from onepagelove.com was IanJamesCox.com. The color of this page is a simple black and white concept, with appropriate color schemes at each stop to match the work of all the different websites he has done. What really drew me to this site was the texture of the background. To put it simply, the background is a wrinkled up piece of paper, and it really gives the viewer a feeling of looking at a piece of paper instead of a computer screen.
The tricky, yet unique thing about this website is the use scrolling it has. While you travel in all kinds of different directions when navigating, once you get used to it, it works like any other site. If you scroll downwards then you move forwards to the end on the page, and if you scroll upwards you scroll to the beginning of the page. You can also scroll left and right, with the right functioning as scrolling down, and vise versa for the left. For those who don’t want to scroll, there is a navigation key in the upper left hand corner that has links to every part of the page.
I think that the simple idea of following a line is a fun and creative way for users to navigate through the site. Everything is clear, eligible, and easily understood which makes for an effective website.
