Design and SEO for a single page dynamic website with AJAX

0 votes
I designed a website in which the whole site is contained within one page (index.php). Within the page, <section> tags define different parts of the site (home, contact, blog, etc.)
Navigation is achieved by buttons that are always visible, and when clicked use javascript to change the visibility of the sections, so that only one is shown at any time.
More specifically, this is done by using the hash in the URL and handling the hashchange event. This results in URLs such as www.site.com/#home (the default if no other hash is present) and www.site.com/#contact.
I want to know if this is a good design. It works, but I get the feeling there must be a better way to achieve the same thing? To clarify, I was aiming for the site that loaded all the main content once, so that there were no more page loads after the initial load, and moving between sections would be smoother.
On top of this, another problem is introduced concerning SEO. The site shows up in google, but if for example, a search query contains a term in a specific section, it still loads the default #home page when clicked, not the specific section the term was found in. How can I rectify this?
Finally, one of the sections is a blog section, which is the only section that does not load all at once, since by default it loads the latest post from a database. When a user selects a different post from a list (which in itself is loaded using AJAX), AJAX is used to fetch and display the new post, and pushState changes the history. Again, to give each post a unique URL that can be referenced externally, the menu changes the URL which is handled by javascript, resulting in URLs such as www.site.com/?blogPost=2#blog and www.site.com/?blogPost=1#blog.
These posts aren't seen by google at all. Using the Googlebot tool shows that the crawler sees the blog section as always empty, so none of the blog posts are indexed.
What can I change?
