Overview​

The HomePage component serves as the landing page for the NAVIGO application.

  • Displaying a welcome header that introduces the NAVIGO platform.
  • Incorporating a footer to provide consistent branding and copyright information.
  • Ensuring responsive design across different devices using Tailwind CSS.
  • Providing a clean structure that can be easily expanded with additional components or interactive elements.
