Hi Benjamin

Not sure if you still need help but here's what I spotted. The challenge says you need to make a url for the index view and you should add a url to urlpatterns with a pattern for an empty string that points to the index view from views.

Right now you are making a url for the hello_world view.

Edit: the import statement should be fine.

I hope this hint helps!
