Currently, the codebase uses window.location.href to navigate to the home page when a button is clicked. This approach is not optimal in a Next.js application, as it bypasses the client-side routing capabilities provided by Next.js. To improve the navigation and leverage the full potential of Next.js, we should replace the direct use of window.location.href with the Link component or useRouter from Next.js.
Client-Side Navigation: Utilizing Next.js's client-side navigation improves the user experience by making transitions faster and smoother.
Code Consistency: Using Next.js components and hooks for navigation ensures consistency across the codebase.
SEO Benefits: Proper use of Next.js navigation can help with SEO, as it allows for better handling of page transitions and metadata.
Additional Context
If there are other instances in the codebase where window.location.href is used for navigation, those should also be updated to use Next.js's navigation methods.
