i'm making a new site which uses jquery slider effect so that all the content is on one page. the content is then fairly simple and very minimalistic which i think is working nicely.

the problem i then have is this is no good for seo point of view, and the fact it can't be linked to.

what i've been doing is have a link at the bottom of each slider to say read more about this service, which links to a static page with more information about the service, better seo/titles etc, and is linkable.

the trouble then comes as if someone then clicks on another service from the static page, do i either have it slide to the same info that you'd see from the normal home page, or have it change the page to the static pages content?

i'm unsure which is best as this creates a lot more work having to make each page static as well as making use of the jquery slider, and also may confuse visitors as the site switches between jquery slider, to no jquery slider.


decided after writing the above the easiest way is to show you how i'd done it and what you all think.

you'll see that it's not finished so not all links work etc.

if you click on commercial for instance it goes to a summary page, then say more information link it goes to a static page with more information about commercial cleaning. then if you click residential that goes to static page rather then the summary page.

what do people think? too confusing? is there a better way i could do it?
 
Look at using anchors in your links.
Then use jquery to look for the anchor in the page href, if the anchor exists then change the tab to this.

If you use facebook, have a look at your url - it changes even though the requests are AJAX - the page isn't reloaded since the required page is sent via the anchor (e.g. page.php#aboutus)

If you do not understand, let me know & I'll clarify with code and examples for you.
 
no i understand and that's kind of what it will do when done. my issue with doing the #aboutus route is i have no clue how to make it so that if the page is then linked to directly it'll still work with the slider as the slide would be further in now
