Answer 1

You don't need to subclass TemplateView in this case. You can use TemplateView directly in your url conf, as long as index.html is in your templates directory.

from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html'), name="home"),
]
