    You just use a get outside of any resources or namespace block in your routes.rb file:

    get 'my_page_here ', :to => 'home#index'

    Assuming you are using Rails 3+, do NOT use match. It can be dangerous, because if a page accepts data from a form, it should take POST requests. match would allow GET requests on an action with side-effects – which is NOT good.

    Always use get, put, post or these variants where possible.

    To get a path helper, try:

    get 'my_page_here ', :to => 'home#index', :as => :my_page

    That way, in your views, my_page_path will equal http://{domain}/my_page_here
