People in general spend about 30 seconds looking at your resume. One page or not, it has to be skimmable. Use bullet points and bold to bring out the important stuff. Use lots of white space.
Lots of detail doesn't impress me. Your place for that is in the cover letter where you write about the one or two things most relevant from your background that are specifically appropriate to the open position.
I think one page is a good goal to have, even if you don't make it; it forces you to trim and focus on the important stuff.
