Almost as easy as just, you know, creating a website. Obviously, the simplified example is simplified, but can you sketch a case where this would actually be useful? Or, even better, point to a site where it is actually in use? EDIT: Just to clarify, what I'm wondering is, where would a single-page site that consists of pages of content (rather than an app) be useful?

Had the same thought. Nice, but Y?

Why not simply make one HTML page and a couple of anchors for navigation. That would yield a simple site without the need to code anything.

A drawback is that the content isn't directly crawlable by search engines. I made an app earlier that uses Javascript to make static sites dynamic using Javascript, but got lots of comments saying that it's anti-seo: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2830429 Hence I offered a secondary PHP option.

SEO is fine when pre-loading the content and hiding it.

Hmm, how would you use Javascript to preload content that is crawlable by search engines?
