Creating Pages in Astro

This project benchmark requires you to demonstrate learning in astro. Namely:

• create a base template:
  • use the template to control the information structure of your pages,
  • paying special attention to the contents and kinds of information each page creates
• create Navigation, Header, and Footer components:
  • using nav, header, and footer elements
  • the Navigation control needs to feature at least a Home and About link
• integrate these components into your pages for a unified, cross-site experience
• adds content to these pages using section, main, and p, img (with alt text) tags appropriately
  • see our course textbook The Coding Workbook for more on these tags

Evaluating your progress

🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
├── src/
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
