Static webpages are fairly simple with express. This could be useful for building your own portfolio website or blog, etc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To serve a static webpage from the "views" folder you can use code such as:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
 const express = require("express");
 | 
						|
 const app = express();
 | 
						|
 app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/views"));
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
