Two possibilities
1.Provide a controller to handle the static pages (call it main or
something) then provide actions such as contacts and put the html in
views/main/contacts.html.erb. Then it is linked to by
your_domain.com/main/contacts.
2. You could just put the pages in the public folder in your app.
Then if you have a page public/contacts.html it may be linked to by
your_domain.com/contacts.html.
I prefer the first as it keeps the static content separated from other
stuff in public.
You could also try googling for rails static pages which will provide
many useful hits.

I am not sure I understand exactly. It is just like any other
controller. To link to the home/index page do
<%= link_to ‘Home’, :controller => :home, :action => :index %>
If you are in one of the other static pages in the home controller
then you do not need to specify the controller.
You may also need to specify routes for the pages, see the Rails Guide
on routing.

There are many very useful tutorials on this topic. First I would
suggest to get started with Chapter 1: From zero to deploy | Ruby on Rails Tutorial | Learn Enough to Be Dangerous

Dear marquardt,
The tutorial u told is a bit confusing to me as it is
especially written for unix users , (it contained too much content)
and i am a windows user.so other than this can u let me know some
other tutorials on rials…,
I don’t see what difference it makes what OS you’re running? Rails
routing is the same regardless of what platform you choose for
development.
In a Rails app the “public” folder serves as the web server’s document
root. All requests (unless otherwise configured in your front-end web
server) are routed to the Rails routing system.
So as already explained by others you have a few options for static page
content. You can either put the static files in the public folder and
link directly to them with a standard HTML hyperlink.
Or you can provide a more organized and “Rails like” approach using
standard Rails routing.
