Hi, Kevin,

Several options here:

The world of the web has changed a ton over the past decade. Websites that show one page at a time with no animations or interactions can feel stale and outdated.

Here's an introduction to Progressive Enhancements:

Websites can do far more than just present information. Many business applications have moved onto the web, and with a CMS like Drupal in the back end, your website itself can be an integral part of your business.

It's great to boil down information into simple bite-sized chunks. But for so many kinds of information, it's just not that simple. Ecological systems. Policy decisions. Your body. Your website.
