With single page site is a nav bar necessary? In terms of UI will a basic user understand to scroll down? Is it easier on UI to make your sections or DIVs short (height) so visitors know there is more to come?

If it's small, you could do away with most forms of traditional nav I imagine. However, the more content you have, I think you'll want some form of navigation. For single page sites, what I've seen trending is usually a sticky top nav, and maybe even some flashy parallax scrolling.

Courses Plus Student 3,337 PointsReferring to the comments above, it's all about how much content would be placed on the page. The user may think to scroll, but the point of a great website is to make it simple and easy for users to navigate content. You may not want a full blown navigation bar but perhaps simple links or anchor points would help if there is a lot of content.
