Can i ask you a question? What is the extra value of using a framework on a 3 page based website? And from where are you lost? Already installed Cake?
And if you want to know a little bit more about CakePHP, i really suggest you to read the documentation 2.x and follow the tutorial of making a blog with CakePHP.
It will learn you all the basic things of Cake and you only need like an hour to practice.

Thats my advice to you.

Well i need a MVC architecture so thought id just nab one with good documentation etc. Cakes installed sweet and im ready to go. Question is where do i start? M, V or C? Ill been looking at and will continue to read through the documentation. Cheers for your reply!

Well i suppose you already know where the letters stands for, how i always start with cakephp ( in the beginning ) with the C (Controller) Because if you start with that one, you can follow the errors as steps, it wil say you need a V (View) with a name like this, you need a M (Model) with a name like this... etc
Now you have to understand MVC with that being said a sample controller would be as follows under cakephp 2.x under App/Controller a simple controller:
SamplesController.php with a similar build
class SamplesController extends AppController {
// Consider these functions pages
function pageA(){
}
function pageB(){
}
function pageC(){
}
}
Navigate to App/View create folder Samples. In there create pageA.ctp, pageB.ctp and pageC.ctp . [the ctp files are your pages or proper term view. ]
copy your data of the 3 page site in each ctp file. and your done just navigate to the respected url. http://localhost/cakephpbuild/samples/pageA <= Example only

Thats a great place to start. My final question for now is around a simple model. Im also trying to get picture links working between the pages?

technically, the views should be labelled
page_a.ctp, page_b.ctp ... book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/getting-started/…
