Static Content Sections

Hi,
whats the best way to deal with static content sections on a custom homepage? I have content sections like “what we do, about us” (some short copy)

my plan was to do:
– custom post type called “static_content”
– create a post for each static content box
– within static_homepage.php query blog post by “ID” and “static_content” post type.

is there a better way?

thanks
