Creating the work page - part 9

What would our portfolio be without a dedicated work page, right?

Let's get started on creating this. Hopefully, we can reuse some of the components we already created when working on the homepage, as we see for the blog page.

As a reminder, the work page looks like this in the design file.

Design of the work page

Creating the work page

Let's start by adding a new page to our pages directory. We'll call this file work.js.
The rough outline for it will look like this:

import Head from 'next/head';

export default function WorkPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Head>
        <title>NextJS Work</title>
        <meta name='description' content='Generated by create next app' />
        <link rel='icon' href='/favicon.ico' />
      </Head>
      <section>
        <div>
          <h1>Work</h1>
        </div>
      </section>
    </div>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We can reuse all the classes we used in yesterday's blog page.

<section className="px-6">
  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto">
    <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-6 p-4">Work</h1>
  </div>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now let's add some mockup work components we created before.

import Head from 'next/head';
import Work from '../components/work';

export default function WorkPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Head>
        <title>NextJS Work</title>
        <meta name='description' content='Generated by create next app' />
        <link rel='icon' href='/favicon.ico' />
      </Head>
      <section className='px-6'>
        <div className='max-w-4xl mx-auto'>
          <h1 className='text-3xl font-bold mb-6 p-4'>Work</h1>
          <Work />
          <Work />
          <Work />
          <Work />
        </div>
      </section>
    </div>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let's see how it looks when we run our app and visit the work page.

Wow, this one works out of the box. Thank you, reusable components.
