An "about us" page is not a candidate for a rest resource. You had it fine before.
If you turned your pages controller into a rest resource and moved the "about" page into the resulting cms, then you might create a helper method "about_url" that generates the newly correct url. If you wanted users to be able to create many "abouts", edit and destroy them, then you would create an "abouts_controller". The index action would give a list of abouts (abouts_url would link to it). If you want to view an individual "about" then about_url(@about). To edit it, edit_about_url(about). To update it, the form_for(@about) will take care of the put method. Likewise, link_to "delete about", about_url(about), :method => :delete will remove it. To create a new one, new_about_url will get you there.
