placing views and models in configuration root

[Andreas Bloch]

is it bad practice to create a views.py and models.py file and place it in the configuration root? (the folder that is created when you run "startproject <project_name>" which contains the settings, urls, and uwsgi file")

An unequivocal 'Yes' :)

aaaalrighty then - I will create an app then...

so what do you when you're making trivial sites, that don't have any database models, like about-page, landing-page and so on?

would you make a separate app for those and stuff them all in there or just use templateviews and route them from the configuration root urls.py?

Use nginx and serve static content . Why use django?

I think you are referring to something like a company website along with a SaaS solution. 

If yes, there are multiple ways could be done. But a quick solution is obviously to do TemplateViews - in which case you are routing purely from your urls.py.
