# Link: Improving User Workflows with Single-Page User Interfaces :: UXmatters

Marrying web pages with applications is a tricky business. One must remember that the history of the Web affects end user expectation of how a site will behave. As we start to embed applications into sites, we must learn how best to bring these two disparate sets of expectations together.

*From [Improving User Workflows with Single-Page User Interfaces :: UXmatters](https://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2006/11/improving-user-workflows-with-single-page-user-interfaces.php):*

> Single-page Web applications are much better at supporting complex user workflows than multi-page Web applications are. … And it’s not just customers who benefit. A better user experience can only increase your site’s conversion rate and customer satisfaction and loyalty.
> 
> Just having a single-page user interface is not enough, of course, if it’s not well designed. Both a Web application’s overall layout and its controls require special attention
