Just create a controller with the name you want for the page, and put it in /overrides/controllers/front/. The name of the controller must be NameyouwantforthepageController.php

Here is a basic class that will work:

class MyPageController extends FrontController {

/**
 *  Initialize controller
 *  @see FrontController::init()
 */
public function init() {
    parent::init();
}

/**
 *  Assign template vars related to page content
 *  @see FrontController::initContent()
 */
public function initContent() {
    parent::initContent();

    $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'my-page.tpl');
}

}

Take a look at the FrontController to see what method you need to override to add functionnalities, for example setMedia() to add CSS / JS files.

You will then be able to add a pretty url in the back office in the SEO panel.
