Navbars are probably the most widespread ui element on the web, and I can't think of anything you could do (that isn't explicitly malicious) to confuse casual users more than removing them. Even if that violated expectation counted for nothing, I'd estimate that 30% of the dental site's users wouldn't think to use the browser's find button. I would fire this man in an instant. Even if we didn't have to contend with the habits and training that users have, I doubt this would be better. Is he arguing that a navbar with links to the appropriate sections is not worth the space it takes? If not, is he arguing that the benefits of everything being on one page (more useful browser find, I guess) outweighs the downsides (seo, users wading through mountains of text, scrolling required to access navbar, etc)?
