12,567 PointsIs a one page website good for SEO or not?
By this i mean, i have a website with multiple pages i am creating, however to make the whole site look a lot better, i am considering having all the pages on the same page.
Then using Jquery to make nice effects.
So i would still have my navigation bar displaying, Home|About Us| Gallery| Contact| Quote.
When the user clicks on the About Us link it will not actually go to another page, but instead hide all the content from the home section then display the about us section. Using nice effects to make it look more fluid. i could make the whole of the home page slide to the left out of sight while the about us section slides in from the right to take place.
If i was to do this and convert the multi page site into a one page site, would this mean that search engines would grade this as a bad website?
