The pages given by the previous examples are not integrated into the Odoo website; we have no page footer or site menu. The Odoo website add-on module conveniently provides all of these features so that we don't have to worry about them ourselves.

'depends': [
'library_checkout',
'website',
],
To use the website features, we also need to introduce some modifications on the Controller and QWeb template.
Controllers can have an the additional website=True argument on the route:
@http.route('/helloworld', auth='public', website=True)
def helloworld(self, **kwargs):
