Introduction

In this blog post, we will walk through the creation of a feature-rich cloud storage website using React. The site, inspired by Fylo, offers sections such as Home, Features, How It Works, Testimonials, and a Footer. Along the way, we will discuss the structure, components, and styling used to build this fully responsive website.

Project Overview

This project consists of multiple sections aimed at showcasing a cloud storage service. Each section is built with React components for modularity and ease of maintenance. We will cover the following sections:

  • Navbar

  • Home

  • Features

  • How It Works

  • Testimonials

  • Footer

Features

  • Responsive design: The website adjusts to different screen sizes.

  • Modular Components: Each section of the website is a separate React component, making it easy to maintain and extend.

  • Reusable Assets: Images and other assets are imported once and reused across components.

  • CSS Styling: The website uses custom CSS to style each component.

Technologies Used

  • React: Component-based front-end library.

  • CSS: For styling the layout and appearance.

  • JavaScript: Core logic for React components.

  • SVG Images: Used for icons and graphics to enhance the UI.

Code Explanation

1. App.js

This is the root component that imports and renders all the other components (Navbar, Home, Features, Working, Testimonials, Footer).

import "./App.css"
import Navbar from "./components/Navbar";
import Home from "./components/Home";
import Features from "./components/Features";
import Working from "./components/Working";
import Testimonials from "./components/Testimonials";
import Footer from "./components/Footer";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Navbar />
      <Home />
      <Features />
      <Working />
      <Testimonials />
      <Footer />
    </>
  );
};

export default App;


#### 2. Navbar Component
The navigation bar contains the logo and three clickable links: Features, Team, and Sign In.

```jsx
import logo from "../assets/images/logo.svg";

const Navbar = () => {
  return (
    <div className="navbar">
      <div className="logo">
        <img src={logo} alt="" />
      </div>
      <div className="header">
        <a href="">Features</a>
        <a href="">Team</a>
        <a href="">Sign In</a>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Navbar;


#### 3. Home Component
The Home section introduces the service with an eye-catching background image and a "Get Started" button.

```jsx
import bgHome from "../assets/images/illustration-intro.png";

const Home = () => {
  return (
    <div className="home">
      <div className="home-image">
        <img src={bgHome} alt="" />
      </div>
      <div className="home-text">
        <h1>All your files in one secure location, accessible anywhere.</h1>
        <p>
          Fylo stores all your most important files in one secure location.
          Access them wherever you need, share and collaborate with friends
          family, and co-workers.
        </p>
        <div className="button">
          <h4>Get Started</h4>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Home;


#### 4. Features Component
This component highlights four key features of the cloud service, with corresponding icons and descriptions.

```jsx
import AccessImage from "../assets/images/icon-access-anywhere.svg";
import SecurityImage from "../assets/images/icon-security.svg"
import collaborationImage from "../assets/images/icon-collaboration.svg"
import storageImage from "../assets/images/icon-any-file.svg"

const Features = () => {
  return (
    <div className="features">
      <div className="cards">
        <div className="card">
          <img src={AccessImage} alt="" />
          <h1>Access your files, anywhere</h1>
          <p>
            The ability to use a smartphone, tablet, or computer to access your
            account means your files follow you everywhere.
          </p>
        </div>
        <div className="card">
          <img src={SecurityImage} alt="" />
          <h1>Security you can trust</h1>
          <p>
          2-factor authentication and user-controlled encryption are just a couple of the security features we allow to help secure your files.
          </p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div className="cards">
        <div className="card">
          <img src={collaborationImage} alt="" />
          <h1>Real-time collaboration</h1>
          <p>
          Securely share files and folders with friends, family and colleagues for live collaboration. No email attachments required.
          </p>
        </div>
        <div className="card">
          <img src={storageImage} alt="" />
          <h1>Store any type of file</h1>
          <p>
          Whether you're sharing holidays photos or work documents, Fylo has you covered allowing for all file types to be securely stored and shared.
          </p>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Features;
