Facebook pages have predetermined fields for you to fill in, so it can seem difficult to make your page stand out from the crowd, but there is a way.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techipedia.com\/2009\/create-facebook-page\/\">Creating a custom welcome page<\/a> using Facebook Markup Language will allow you to design a page that will look exactly how you want it.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/codemastersnake\/5169004822\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4069\/5169004822_1a373ab600_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Getting Started<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve created your fan page there are a few basic steps you need to take to set up your welcome page.  You will first need to add the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apps\/application.php?id=4949752878\">Static FBML application<\/a> to your page.  Just click the \u2018Add to my Page\u2019 link right under the main photo.  Then go back to your page and click \u2018Edit Page.\u2019  You\u2019ll see a list of your apps, including the Static FBML app.  Click \u2018Application Settings\u2019 next to the app, then you need to add the Tab option under Profile Settings.<\/p>\n<h3>Adding Content<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set up the page, it\u2019s time to make it personal.  Go to profile settings and click Edit FBML.  Change the page\u2019s title from \u2018Box Title\u2019 to something that fits with your company\u2019s message.  You can make the page a specific message, like a seasonal sale, a new service offered, or a simple \u2018Welcome.\u2019  The page itself should just be a photo that you\u2019ve designed that conveys your company\u2019s message.  Enter the html code and link to your photo in the FBML field.  The image itself needs to be hosted on another site, but you can use basic HTML in the field.  However, a simple photo is usually the best way to make a clean, well-designed page.<\/p>\n<h3>Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to make your new page the first thing people see when they visit you.  This can be done by going to your Wall Settings and changing the option for \u2018Default Landing Tab for Everyone Else.\u2019  Now your page is setup and ready for your many fans to see.  If you\u2019d like to get more in depth with Facebook Markup Language, you can visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/search?q=FBML\">Developers section of Facebook<\/a> to learn more about it.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook can allow your company to reach an insanely large amount of people, but the website is famous for keeping its profiles uniform.  For designers who want to add a little pizzazz to their pages, using FBML to create a welcome page can be a huge help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you have a Facebook page for your business, but you&#8217;re not exactly sure how to make it special.
