2013 was a great year for one page websites around the web, and 2014 is looking even better! We saw new trends and techniques take off in 2013, like responsive web design, flat designs, and even more parallax than the year before. One Page Mania also had a makeover… rebranding, redesign, and tons of great new features added. Thank all of you for your support, especially from the design community for feedback and great submissions:)
So, without further ado… here is a list of our favorites (mine and yours)… made up of some of my personal favs, and the sites with the most votes from you. These are in not in ranking order, but divided up by categories. If you don’t see your favorite site, let us know to include it in the comments below. Enjoy, and don’t forget to share it:)
