Using Pi as a web server locally - how to set up pages after nginx install?

Question

I have just followed the Setting up an NGINX web server on a Raspberry Pi tutorial on the RPi Site.

Now, I'm going to follow a tutorial on setting up say a Django webpage. What I'm not clear on and need to connect, is where/how do I now set up a custom web page that's accessible via the NGINX Server?

Overall, I just want to visit (say) 192.168.0.1 (or whatever my Pi's IP is) on a local network and have my custom webpage show up.

Then, later on, I might design another web page that does something totally different, so would like to "swap out" the site info so visiting the my RPi's IP goes to that new page.

If you didn't change any config file of Nginx (I mean root section of /etc/nginx/sites-available), you can put your .html file into this location:

/var/www/html

In addition, read this simple documentation to configure the Nginx service.
