Create First Program
Based on our previous activity, we have created a new Route and Function called aboutUs inside the Site Controller. Now, let’s try to run our server and see how our web app should look like.
Type in;
php spark serve
Then, open our localhost in our browser. And add our new route which is about-us
http://localhost:8080/about-us

echo "<h2> Welcome to About Us Page</h2>"

Let us now create a new page called Contact Us. To do that, let’s first create a new Route by opening your Route.php then add the following code:
$routes->get('contact-us', 'Site::contactUs');Then open your Site controller and add this function:
public function contactUs()
{
return view("contact-us”);
}The above code will call the contact-us view. So we need to create our view. In the app > Views folder, create a new PHP file called contact-us.php. Then add the following code:
<h2>Welcome to Contact Us Page</h2>
We will have this page:
