Ryan Bates has a Railscast about this, showing you how to go from static file service to files plus database for these sorts of "static" pages. http://railscasts.com/episodes/117-semi-static-pages What I have done in the past is to create a PagesController (empty), and then place my static pages in the views/pages folder. They Just Work⢠from there. If you fiddle the routing, you can remove the /pages/ segment from the URL, too.
