I guess you want to add server Node.js logic, sometimes in the future. Then, explore Express http://expressjs.com/
and put all your current files in the public declared directory Read http://expressjs.com/guide.html Short path npm install express -g express yourapp cd yourapp (copy all your current files to yourapp/public directory) node app and browse one of your assets in the browser. Maybe you need to remove some app.get(...) in the app.js, that is mapping the home page to a controller/action and view of Express Disclaimer: there are other simpler solutions (static web sites), but I mentioned at the start of this email, I presume you need server logic Alternatives?
