Re: Single Page website with AJAX

[noahgelman]

@brianallan, you would most definitely not want to do that. Google docks you heavily for having a lot of hidden content. It prevents people from trying to cheat and have more content than it would normally have just to get a higher rank. It could work on a resume site where you’re not really going for traffic and are just showing it to employers, but if you want traffic, that’s a huge no-no.

AJAX is definitely the way to go. Switching out content on the fly with a couple clicks is relatively easy. Here are 2 screencasts Chris did involving AJAX, https://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/81-ajaxing-a-wordpress-theme/ , https://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/84-site-walkthrough/

There should also be some good AJAX tutorials out there if you google it.
