We can create CMS pages in Magento 2 using setup scripts. So, to do this, follow the next steps:

Create Setup/UpgradeData.php

Create Setup/UpgradeData.php file inside your module (how to create a module you can read here) with the next code:

<?php

// app/code/[VendorName]/[ModuleName]/Setup/UpgradeData.php

namespace MageDirect\ModuleExample\Setup;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\UpgradeDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Cms\Model\PageFactory;

class UpgradeData implements UpgradeDataInterface
{

/**
    * @var PageFactory
    */
   protected $pageFactory;

/**
    * @param PageFactory $pageFactory
    */
   public function __construct(PageFactory $pageFactory)
   {
       $this->pageFactory = $pageFactory;
   }

/**
    * @param ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup
    * @param ModuleContextInterface $context
    */
   public function upgrade(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
   {
       $setup->startSetup();

if (version_compare($context->getVersion(), '0.1.1') < 0) {
           $page = $this->pageFactory->create();
           $page->setTitle('New CMS page')
                   ->setIdentifier('new-cms-page')
                   ->setIsActive(1)
                   ->setPageLayout('2columns-right')
                   ->setStores([0])
                   ->setContent('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipi'
                           . 'scing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut l'
                           . 'abore et dolore magna aliqua.')
                   ->setContentHeading('New cms page')
                   ->setMetaKeywords('Page keywords')
                   ->setMetaDescription('Page description')
                   ->save();
       }

$setup->endSetup();
   }

}

<?php

// app/code/[VendorName]/[ModuleName]/Setup/UpgradeData.php

namespace MageDirect\ModuleExample\Setup;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\UpgradeDataInterface;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;

use Magento\Cms\Model\PageFactory;

class UpgradeData implements UpgradeDataInterface

{

/**

* @var PageFactory

protected $pageFactory;

/**

* @param PageFactory $pageFactory

public function __construct(PageFactory $pageFactory)

{

$this->pageFactory = $pageFactory;

}

/**

* @param ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup

* @param ModuleContextInterface $context

public function upgrade(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)

{

$setup->startSetup();

if (version_compare($context->getVersion(), '0.1.1') < 0) {

$page = $this->pageFactory->create();

$page->setTitle('New CMS page')

->setIdentifier('new-cms-page')

->setIsActive(1)

->setPageLayout('2columns-right')

->setStores([0])

->setContent('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipi'

. 'scing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut l'

. 'abore et dolore magna aliqua.')

->setContentHeading('New cms page')

->setMetaKeywords('Page keywords')

->setMetaDescription('Page description')

->save();

}

$setup->endSetup();

}

Change version

Change version of your module to 0.1.1:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">

</config>

Run the database upgrade script

Run the database upgrade script from the root directory of your Magento 2 store:

1	php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Navigate to Content > Pages

Navigate to Content > Pages in the admin panel and check the result:
