Example of a static site in Node.js

This repo is a very basic example of serving a static HTML pages using Node.js and Express.js. It has two routes:

/ which shows the home.html
/about which shows the about.html

The static pages themselves are stored in the /pages directory of the project and the CSS and JavaScript file that is loaded on them both are saved int he /assets directory.

Getting started

First run the clone command in your terminal:

git clone git@github.com:chrisvasey/node-statics-site-example.git

Inside the directory install Express and Path package by running:

npm install

Once installed, run:

node index.js

By default this will start a web server on http://localhost:3333 You can change this by changing the "port" variable in the index.js file
