## Serve Static Assets
<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds -->
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"));
```
