They're often referred to as: "single page websites."

You can't really apply one label to this style.


It is fluid in the sense that it expands and contracts to use the whole viewport.
It typically used for vertical designs because it helps to break up the scrolling depth.
It is most commonly found on one page sites because it is well suited to a lot of content.
And it has certainly been a fashionable approach to site design over the past 18 months. I suspect it will begin to die back before long, at least in those cases where it's not particularly appropriate.


One Page Love is a good reference for use cases in this style.

You can find these type sites searching vertical scrolling or infinite scrolling.

A common term is 'Vertically Scrolling Websites'.

Here is an example of the term in use.

'Parallax Scrolling' is also used when the background images and content move at different speeds when scrolling.
