I would recommend providing a 'main' controller (or whatever you want
to call it) that just serves up the effectively static pages.
Initially you can just put the html straight into each page.html.erb
and render them specifying no layout. Then you can refactor them and
use the rails capabilities of partials, helpers and so on to put your
re-usable menu into a partial to make life easy.
