putting a ? in front of it in a URL, like this:
You messed some things. First go to google.com and look into address bar in 
your browser. Then enter any value into search box (plz don't ask me what 
is "any" value ;) ) and click "search". Look into the address bar again. You 
will see there something like: 
google.com?variable_name=variable_value&another_variable_name=another_variable_value 
etc. google.com is in your case base_url, and things after ? and & are 
variables that are passed to server (in your case Zope) from your browser 
(via request).

Do you really want to define a variable named "here"?

> <a href="?base_url/contactus.pt">
What you want here is: base_url/contactus.pt?variable=variable_value. To put a 
variable value into href attribute use tal:attributes="href ..."

I tried to be a bit more specific that guys in other answers but please do 
what they suggested to you: read zope book :)
