The backend is always the worst part, you can make a simple frontend, in a single page, or a even a simple pop-up, but the backend have to be secured with several methods, plus it depends on the way you process the purshase, because there are many ways to do it, you can use an internal escrow who will hold the bitcoins from the platform wallet, and then process them to the buyer on receive event from fiat processor, or you can send funds directly (which is not advised).
What ever you decide to do, i will be long, and difficult especially because of security questions.

Is there a method of payment in USD that there would be no scare of roll backs?

Can a block explorer not be used as evidence?

lel, no.

That's unfortunate. I can't think of any other method that could prevent this.

I am not considering legal issues here, because it depends on which country you want to host your page, and even if it is not possible, you can still do a crypto to crypto page, which is not regulated.
In Op's case,I believe they don't want a crypto-to-crypto rather USD to BTC as mentioned clearly.So yes,legal issues still be a concern if they do it openly with their IP's and accounts registered with that country.

isnt and easy task, having a site with these pourposes would be very complicated, first thing is that for any that wants to buy bitcoins once the btc deposit is made that person can roll back the payment made by card, there are other complications
And your point again ? If you're done with sig spamming the project development section..please..

Yes it is possible, somebody made https://www.buysomebitcoins.com - you just need an account and buying btc is easy with any card.

The problem here is, it may look simple but the back end is complex.

not possible legally to a start with

This aims in the direction i would advise you to go. Find out which country would be best for you needs. Second make sure that you can not be taken advantage of (charge backs). Maybe think about alternative forms of payment. I think of gift coupons, prepaid cars etc. It is easy to buy those and would be just a small inconvenience for the buyer. I would also advice you to not make it to price since people wouldn't want to use it.

I believe this can be done. The site dynamically creates new on-page dialogs that the user fills out, that I would believe would solve the page problem.

In essence what you want to do is an all in one page with a server to manage the bitcoin transactions, either to buy or sell, but just a question, do you want to make it only crypto to crypto or crypto to FIAT ?
So all in all, the process would be something like that (if you use php) :

1- Create a page (even empty)
2- Setup some variables for identification
3- Setup calls to daemons
4- Use trackers to know who is doing what
5- All your variables and querries must be done using $_POST
6- When you create the page, use this CSS code "display:none" and trigger it to be shown depending on the session informations of each user, like if(isset($_session[...])) or if(isset($_POST[...])) to check for what data are available for the user.

These informations shall set you on track if you are to work with php, i don't personally advise you to use annother language, because it would ask for more time and effort, especially regarding nodejs, unless you are good enough with webserver usage and programing, because all the tutorials you will find are made to show you how to generate several pages using template engines like jade ...

Or you can use some languages like scala which could bring some nice content.

Do not hesitate to use javascript frameworks to handle the page loading, but do not use them to handle critical data, javascript can be easily changed in the console, and use variables or database calls to check for every user data, do not let them send you data, rely on your's only.

In Belgium and The Netherlands, there's already such a site that does this, it's also possible to sell your Bitcoins. You don't even have to make an account etc. 
For smaller amounts, you don't have to provide verification and for larger amounts, verification with your mobile phone is instant.

So in essence you want an easier way for people to buy BTC.
The problem is that people would abuse the system. By singing up, people have to verify their identity and prove that the cards they're using actually belong to them.
Without such a protective measure people would use the site to buy BTC using illegally obtained funds.
If you could get around that issue then perhaps it would be something worth pursuing.

Nice idea in practice and very easy to make, but you'll get charge backs for sure. Unless you are planning nefarious activities

Hi,

I really want to create one pager bitcoin buying site solely for new comers, who don't know much about bitcoins and want them instantly. Site should have one page. Which ask for How much bitcoins you want or worth USD, then BTC address after clicking submit it should have credit card checkout. That's it.

If you are a developer, please PM me.

It`s a simple idea and sounds great,but what if people start to file disputes and credit card chargebacks after they get the bitcoins they buy?
What if they buy bitcoins with stolen credit or debit cards?
Have you ever thought about those problems?
