✅

Start a new application known as pages, this will actually create a directory named pages in the root of your project. Then go to the views.py file and add something like this:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse

# Create your views here.
def home_view(request,*args, **kwargs):
    return HttpResponse("<h1>Hello World</h1>")

After this go to the main project folder under which there is a file named urls.py.
Edit the file and change it to the following:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from pages.views import home_view, about_view, contact_view
from products.views import product_detail_view

urlpatterns = [
    path('', home_view, name='home'),
    path('home/', home_view, name='home'),
]

Then go to settings.py and there you will find a list named INSTALLED_APPS. Just change the list to the following:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    # own
    'pages',
]

Hope this helps 🙂
