First, we need to add another cases

case '/contact-us':
res.statusCode = 301;
res.setHeader('Location', '/contact')
res.end();
break;

We do not need to append the path because we are just going to redirect. We need to change the status code to 301, which mean the resource requested has been definitively moved to the URL given by the Location headers.
