implemented dynamic page rendering

html page rendering works, so the next step was to get dynamic page
rendering up and running, meaning instead of pages being exported to
html, they are instead rendered on the fly when the corresponding URL is
hit.

the StartController that handles page routing needs to be organized a
bit better as there is some confusion between index and regular page
files so it's clear where requests are going and what is the expected
response
