i've made a site that uses jquery slider to give a single page style site, very similar idea to http://www.engageinteractive.co.uk.

my problem is it's more important to me to keep linkable pages and to have a site that has good seo for each page, and i can't seem to find a decent way to get this done whilst using the jquery effects.

i've been making it so if you're on the home page and you click say graphic design, you get a very brief description of the info you want and then a link to the full info which hasn't got the slider effect and is linkable/designed for the search engines. my problem with this is it feels a little forced as the content on the home page is almost enough so i'm not so happy with it.

can anyone suggest a better way to deal with this?
 
Standard way of doing this is using the fragment portion of the URL to store the "page" you're wanting to display, and load it up with ajax (or load it in the main call and just switch the display of it with jQuery)

http://yoursite.com/#pageOne
http://yoursite.com/#pageTwo

and such. There's pitfalls, but google for anything to do with ajax and fragment and you should find decent guides.
