Answer 1

1- configure STATIC_URL on your settings.py :

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    # normpath(join(SITE_ROOT, 'static')),
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles"),
    './staticfiles',
)

2- add STATIC_URL to your urls.py :

urlpatterns = [
                ...
              ] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
