I thought I look around one page scroller's because they are interactive ways of conveying a message in a linear and often narrated style.
This post looked helpful, I went through the list and quickly went through each one to get a flavour and initial thoughts and experiences on each.

These are things

- About a design and illustration studio, tells us what their "agency" does
- Playful style, fun cartoon characters
- Each slide shows them being in a different stage set
Initial experience:
Firstly, I'l talk about the usability. Personally when I first went on, I glossed over the navigation and started scrolling manually. This does not look good since the characters aren't in the right position. I'm wondering, why have scrolling at all then?
I can see the illustration style the duo produce but apart from that, where is the gallery to see your latest work? Perhaps more material you could browse would produce more of a interactive environment feel, if you like. So the idea is great, but why not push further with it.
More than Twenty

- Option to use scroller or the traditional navigation. Choice of Linear/non-linear!
- Illustrative style, handwritten
- The "About section" starts off as relateable personal story about "growing up" and "how time passes by quickly" to how she became a "photographer". It humanises everything
- It also explains the concept behind why her website is called "More than Twenty"
Initial experience:
I really like this website, its captivating! Just by how it connects to you. The narrative is free flowing without needing to physically click on the next link. She sounds like a very real person and its convincing how passionate she is about photography. If I needed a family portrait, this is who I would ring!
Artem and Julia wedding

- A visual slider about how a couple met and how they became married. Does tell a story clearly, but there is almost no tension in the story. Its a "Happily ever after", without the middle bit about the "Prince coming to the rescue"
- It does look nice visually, and the slider helps telling a sequential story
- but its not very memorable.
