I put all my page content into a database table named "pages" and I use a structure similar to this:
page_id
page_meta_title
page_meta_description
page_meta_keywords
page_url
page_content
page_status (draft or published)
page_added
page_last_updated
One row for each page. It also helps if you build a nice form for page management. Plain text entry is fine - you can use CI's typograhy helper to make things look nice (only simple stuff of course)
Using the page_url and/or page_id I can call pages either by their id or matching url, like: mysite.com/pages/the-url-of-my-page
This set up works extremely well for both myself and my clients.
