title: Should my Django site's main page be an app?
body: <p>I have finished reading the Django official tutorial which teaches how to create a simple polls app, which is the way they chose to teach beginners the Django basics.
  My question is, now that I know how to make a simple app and want to create my own website (using Django), should the main (front) page of my website, be an app as well? If so, how do people usually call it and configure it? I mean, it should do nothing but render a html template, so why make it so complicated? If not, where do I put all the static files and how do I reference them? I am a bit confused and could use your help. Maybe I misunderstood Django's main use?</p>
