Next.js is a popular React-based framework for building server-side rendered (SSR) websites. It is fast, efficient, and provides a seamless development experience for both beginners and experienced developers. In this article, we will take a look at how you can create a website using Next.js, step-by-step.
Step 1: Setting up your development environment
To start, you need to have Node.js and npm installed on your computer. You can download the latest version of Node.js from the official website.
Step 2: Installing Next.js

Step 3: Creating a new Next.js project
Next, create a new directory for your project and navigate to it in your terminal. Refer to the video.
This will create a new Next.js project in the directory and install all the necessary dependencies.
Step 4: Setting up the basic structure
Next, you need to set up the basic structure of your website. This includes creating pages, components, and styles. You can start by creating a basic layout for your website by creating a Layout component in the components directory.
Step 5: Adding pages
In Next.js, each page is represented by a separate file in the pages directory. To create a new page, simply create a new file in the pages directory. For example, if you want to create a homepage, you would create a file called index.js in the pages directory.
Step 6: Adding components
Components are the building blocks of your website. You can reuse components throughout your website to keep your code clean and organized. To create a new component, simply create a new file in the components directory. For example, if you want to create a header component, you would create a file called Header.js in the components directory.
Step 7: Adding styles
Next.js supports several ways to add styles to your website. You can use CSS, SCSS, or any other styling library. To add styles, simply create a new file in the styles directory and import it into your components.
Step 8: Running your website
Finally, to run your website, navigate to your project directory in your terminal, refer to the video:
