All pages are a separate React component in our repository, under the [pages](../pages) folder. This is a [special directory](https://nextjs.org/docs/tag/v11.0.0/basic-features/pages) used by Next.js which maps a React component exported from this directory to a page on a url.
The React component exported by these files are wrapped by the [`App` component](../pages/_app.tsx). This lets us reuse code in between pages which makes it a good place to render the [navbar](../components/Navbar.tsx), [footer](../components/Footer.tsx), [background shapes](../components/ShapesBackground.tsx), and the general css layout of a page.

## Title
We use a custom [`Title` component](../components/Title.tsx) to set the title on our pages. This is a very simple component and is just a wrapper around the Next.js [`Head` component](https://nextjs.org/docs/tag/v11.0.0/api-reference/next/head). It also automatically prefixes each title with "CSC - University of Waterloo". Look at the [code](../components/Title.tsx) for more details.
### Example 1
```tsx
import { Title } from "@/components/Title"
function FooPage() {
return (
<>
<Title>Title in the tab</Title>
<div>Content of the page</div>
</>
)
}
// The page's content will be "Content of the page"
// The title of the page (as shown at the top of the browser in the tab) is "CSC - University of Waterloo - Title in the tab"
```
### Example 2
You can also pass in an array of strings, and the [`Title` component](../components/Title.tsx) will automatically join them with " - ".
```tsx
import { Title } from "@/components/Title"
function FooPage() {
return (
<>
<Title>{["Foo", "Bar", "Baz"]}</Title>
<div>Content of the page</div>
</>
)
}
// The page's content will be "Content of the page"
// The title of the page (as shown at the top of the browser in the tab) is "CSC - University of Waterloo - Foo - Bar - Baz"
```
## Layout
Most pages are wrapped with the [`DefaultLayout`](../components/DefaultLayout.tsx) component which limits the page width and adds the necessary margins and paddings. However, some pages need to override these default styles to accomodate for their specific design. For example:
- The [home page](../pages/index.tsx) is wider than all the other pages.
- The [about us](../pages/about/index.tsx) needs the entire screen width to properly render the bubbles.
- The [about us](../pages/about/index.tsx) needs the entire screen width to properly render the [bubbles](../components/Bubble.tsx).

We have an opt-in model for using a custom layout for pages. This is enabled by the static `Layout` function on a React component for a page.
