Django views can be implemented as functions (function-based views, or FBVs) or as Python classes (class-based views, or CBVs). FBVs place view logic in a function. CBVs organize view logic with classes and can use inheritance to reuse common behaviors, reducing boilerplate for common tasks. Thus, FBVs use a function-oriented implementation, while CBVs provide a class-oriented structure focused on reuse.

Views may be located anywhere in you Django web application, but are typically placed in a file called views.py by convention.

In Django, a home page view can be implemented using a class-based view (CBV) like TemplateView. Since a home page often only renders an HTML template without complex backend logic, TemplateView provides a clean, built-in way to handle this with minimal boilerplate code.
