Answer 1

What you want is to create a router.

Answer 2

If you come from a php background, you may expect that creating a file on the server makes it accessible throught an url containing its file name.

In node.js, things work differently. You must use a routing system . Basically, you are going to tell that the "route" (url) views/about is the file about.html.

I think that the best option for you is to install Express framework : it will create basic routes for you, then you'll just have to copy and change some lines to set up new ones.

Express is also going to make a lot of other stuff easier and faster to develop
