An Ode to the One Page Web Site

As suggested by Kyle Adams:

The best piece of advice I ever received as a web developer: "Web sites are like puppies; everyone wants one but nobody wants to feed and water them after three weeks." One page web sites are under-appreciated low-maintenance options, especially for small businesses and organizations. It's time to show them some love and talk about the unique challenges and constraints of creating a one page site.
