# views/pages/homepage.ejs This is the actual template that is rendered by default when a user visits the base URL of your lifted app. Notice the file extension? It stands for [Embedded JavaScript](http://ejs.co/). EJS is what Sails uses by default to render server side HTML views. This can be changed in `config/views.js`. If a new view you've created isn't rendering, make sure you've hooked it up in your `config/routes.js`. If you're used to putting all your HTML in a single file, this might look funny. You might be thinking "Where are the head and body tags"? The answer is, `views/layouts/layout.ejs`.
