   Hello,

   Pages are stored in the database, not as files in a folder somewhere. You should edit pages via the WordPress admin interface (if you want to edit the HTML markup, there's a HTML tab at the top right of the page / post editor).

   Just about everything (posts, links, comments, options etc) you create within WordPress is stored in the database. Media files that you upload are an exception, and are saved in the wp-content/uploads folder, by default.

   If you wish to edit the actual appearance of the page and not the content, that is controlled by your theme.

   Often pages are controlled by page.php, but there are a variety of files in your theme which combine to give your html output
