Creating a multi-page website using React JS involves the creation of pages and components to be rendered on the defined paths using routing.

Prerequisite:

Approach:

To create a multi-page website using React follow these steps.

  • First, install and import react-router-dom for routing.
  • Define the page components like Home, About, Blog, Contact, and SignUp pages with the help of styled components.
  • Enclose all pages in the Router and routes component along with their path.

Steps to Create React Application :

Step 1: We will start a new project using create-react-app so open your terminal and type:

npx create-react-app react-website

Step 2: Now go to your folder by typing the given command in the terminal:

cd react-website

Step 3: Install the dependencies required in this project by typing the given command in the terminal.

npm i react-router-dom --save styled-components

Step 4: Now create the components folder in src then go to the components folder and create a new folder name Navbar. In the Navbar folder create two files index,js, and NavbarElements.js. Create one more folder in src name pages and in pages create files name about.js, blogs.js, index.js, signup.js, contact.js

Project Structure:
