I have quite a complex site with a number of channels setup on EE. However, I have a number of standard content pages such as “about us”, “mission statement” etc. which I am regularly adding to.

I want these to appear at the following URLs:
http://www.site.com/about-us/
http://www.site.com/mission-statement/

It seems like to do this I need to create a new template group for each page. This isn’t really suitable as I am adding/editing these pages regularly.

What I have done as a temporary measure is create a channel called “Content” and used that, so my URLs are:
http://www.site.com/content/about-us/
http://www.site.com/content/mission-statement/

Obviously the “content” part of the URL is redundant and is both detrimental to SEO, usability and social sharing.

Codeigniter has great “routes” functionality that would allow me to get around this, but I see it has been disabled in EE.

Is there any way around this?

Hi there,

You should be able to define those entries as pages and assign the page urls as you desire.
