One-page web design (also known as ‘single page web design’) is a great way to create a user-friendly website that works equally well on all devices. And while it may have been out of vogue ten years or so ago, it’s made a roaring comeback and is now a staple for everyone from startups to creative agencies.
In this post, we’re going to look at some of the best one-page WordPress themes that aren’t listed at ThemeForest.
Why not ThemeForest?
Well, mainly because we’ve already covered the best one-page themes on ThemeForest, so now we need to give some love to the independent developers!
Of course, we’ve absolutely nothing against ThemeForest – there’s just also a ton of great theme developers who simply don’t sell their themes on ThemeForest. So if you limit your search to just ThemeForest themes, you’re almost certainly missing out on some great options listed elsewhere.
Without further ado, here are our top fifteen picks for the best one-page WordPress themes that you won’t find at ThemeForest.
1. Parallax Pro
Parallax Pro is a child theme for the popular Genesis Framework from StudioPress. It gives you a stunning one-page design with distinct sections that pull readers down the page. The parallax effect, for which the theme is named, keeps things interesting.
Parallax Pro also uses the native WordPress Customizer for easy, code-free changes. And everything is responsive by default.
Finally, the fact that you have the Genesis Framework powering your theme’s core functionality means that your site is going to have stellar performance, as well as good SEO optimization.
You can learn more about StudioPress and the Genesis Framework in our detailed StudioPress review.

2. Zerif Pro
The Pro version of one of the more popular free themes at WordPress.org, Zerif Pro offers a flexible, parallax scrolling one-page design that’s easy to make your own.
The theme uses distinct sections to power your one-page design, which you can mix-and-match as needed to meet your needs. What’s nice is that these sections are powered by the native WordPress Customizer so that you can see each change you make in real-time.
Zerif Pro is also WooCommerce ready and built to integrate with popular WordPress page builder plugins.

There’s also a huge design community built around the Divi theme, which makes it easy to find lots of resources for getting more out of the theme.
