Chapter 3. Mostly Static Pages > Static Pages
3.1. Static Pages
Rails has two main ways of making static web pages. First, Rails can handle truly static pages consisting of raw HTML files. Second, Rails allows us to define views containing raw HTML, which Rails can render so that the web server can send it to the browser.
In order to get our bearings, it’s helpful to recall the Rails directory structure from Section 1.2.3 (Figure 1.2). In this section, we’ll be working mainly in the app/controllers and app/views directories. (In Section 3.2, we’ll even add a new directory of our own.)
