When a route has no handler, Total.js renders a view for it: `views/about.html` for `/about/` and `views/index.html` for `/`. You can also name the view yourself by passing a string instead of a function.

```html views/layout.html
<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>@{body}</body></html>
```

```html views/index.html
<h1>Home</h1>
```

```html views/about.html
<h1>About us</h1>
```

```html views/contact-page.html
<h1>Contact</h1>
```

```js controllers/default.js
exports.install = function() {
	ROUTE('GET /');
	ROUTE('GET /about/');
	ROUTE('GET /contact/', 'contact-page');
};
```
