Heya,

Creating a multi-page website in React typically involves using a routing library like React Router. React Router enables you to define multiple routes in your application, each corresponding to a different view or page. Here’s a basic guide on how to get started with a multi-page React application:

1. Set Up Your React Project

If you haven’t already created a React app, you can start one using Create React App:

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

This command creates a new React application and starts the development server.

2. Install React Router

React Router is not included in the default React setup, so you need to add it to your project:

npm install react-router-dom

3. Create Your Pages (Components)

In React, pages are typically represented as components. For a simple multi-page app, you might have a few components like Home, About, Contact, etc. Create these components in your project. For example:

// Home.js
function Home() {
  return <h1>Home Page</h1>;
}

export default Home;

// About.js
function About() {
  return <h1>About Page</h1>;
}

export default About;

// ... similarly for other pages

4. Set Up Routing

In your App.js, import the components and set up routing using BrowserRouter and Routes from react-router-dom:

import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import Home from './Home';
import About from './About';
// ... import other pages

function App() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <div>
        <nav>
          <ul>
            <li>
              <Link to="/">Home</Link>
            </li>
            <li>
              <Link to="/about">About</Link>
            </li>
            {/* ... other links */}
          </ul>
        </nav>

        {/* A <Routes> looks through its children <Route>s and
            renders the first one that matches the current URL. */}
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
          <Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
          {/* ... other routes */}
        </Routes>
      </div>
    </Router>
  );
}

export default App;

5. Start the Development Server

If you haven’t already, start your development server:

npm start

Your application should now be running on http://localhost:3000, and you should be able to navigate between your pages using the links.

6. Explore Further

As you get more comfortable with React and React Router, you can explore more advanced topics, such as dynamic routing, nested routes, route guards, and handling 404 pages.
