Thanks for the advice Luke I'll use a new controller for the index page
as some of the other pages don't have partials.
Can I ask how I can link the contollers should I include attributes from
the other controllers index defs etc, such as

myindexcontroller

def index

@Businesss = Business.all #from the business controller

<html to show business list>

end
end


cheers,

Graham
