Answer 1

If your site is completely static, you may consider using a static framework, like Jekyll.

This way you don't have to depend on the host server's features, and avoid issues that may arise when you use a complex framework like django.

I would like to thank all people who tried to help me. Your advises inspired me for a solution. I used a code below and it works good. It appears that there is no need to create a separate view and you may use TemplateView for static html file rendering. That's exactly what I was looking for.

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html'), name="index"),
    path('about/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='about.html'), name="about"),
    path('team/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='team.html'), name="team"),
    path('contacts/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='contacts.html'), name="contacts"),
    path('researches/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='researches.html'), name="researches"),
    path('publications/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='publications.html'), name="publications"),
]

You can capture a slug in the URL and use it to determine which template to render.

path('<slug:slug>', views.general_page, ...)

...

def general_page(request, slug):
    return render(request, 'website/{}.html'.format(slug))
