This is Part 3 in our deep-dive into how to develop a professionally designed, high-end NextJS + Payload CMS website from start to finish.

In this episode, we're diving deep into React. You'll learn how a design agency organizes its components and you'll start to see a lot of the CSS boilerplate that we defined in Episode 2 start being put to use. We're going to build and animate the Header, Footer, and Mega Menu—all in React and TypeScript.
