Stupid question. Have not programmed in a while and started a new app and I want to use “good RESTful design”. Correct me if I am wrong. In a good RESTful application for each model you have a complimentary controller of the same name and vice-versa. It is a 1-1 ratio in a perfect world. If my assumption is correct then what would one do if they have a landing page that really needs absolutely no model? It does not even have dynamic data on it. It is just a landing page with data about the upcoming site? What say you? 🙂 Thanks.

Just replace the index.html contents in the /public folder. Best regards Peter De Berdt
