Adding Content
In the first step all necessary information regarding the type of page you want are recorded. There is a stripped down WYSIWYG editor available for you to add your copy. The collection of modules available is quiet comprehensive and will sure make non-tech savvy users quite happy.
Modules
Modules
From a simple banner module to product listings, there’s almost everything one would need to create a comprehensive Facebook business page. Some interesting ones are the Twitter and WordPress blog feed modules which help you cross publish your tweets and blogs to your Facebook page.
Adding Images
To add content to the modules, you will have to click on them. You will not be prompted anywhere in this process to add respective content. So if you are using a free account and have the banner, photo gallery and main menu modules enabled by default, be sure to access them again to add content or make changes.
For those planning on setting up a Facebook fan page that offers exclusive content to registered fans, the Reveal Content module would be a welcome addition. Without the need for any coding knowledge, this module allows you to hide content from non-fans. So until a person likes your page, he or she wont have access to exclusive offers an deals. You can hide multiple tabs using this module.
Templates
After selecting the modules that you find fit for your Facebook page, fill out a few business and contact information details and off you to beautifying the page. As soon as you hit next, you will be taken to a screen that allows you to choose a style/theme.
Templates
When you make a Facebook fan page, the style should match your branding. Thanks to FaceItPages, you won’t have a lot of trouble finding the right theme. The selection of templates available is much higher than the number of modules available. A variety of designs, layouts and colors are available to choose from. Some template designs look more like a static page of a website and not that of a typical Facebook page. Choose a template that best matches your branding. You can change this later if you’d like.
Publishing the Page
After choosing the template that suits your taste, it’s now time to publish the page for all the world to see. A preview of the page is shown for you double the check the details. If need to make any changes, go back to step one, make the necessary changes and after your page is created, you simply click on an install button.
Installing a Facebook Page
If there are key details missing, FaceItPages will notify you of the same. I forgot to name the tab, despite creating one and I was prompted to choose a name for it just before installing it on Facebook. Login to Facebook and approve FaceItPages access to your data. That’s all the work you will have to do to get your brand on Facebok.
Final Thoughts
Creating a Facebook page is such a chore. I’ve tried creating fan pages for my previous reviews and I can vouch that it is such a tedious task. A lot to grunt work has to be done before even getting a decent looking page up and running. You will have to search for the right apps, tips to create ads, make them invisible for fans, add and embed media, choose a theme and so on.
With FaceItPages, there’s no need to go through all these hassles. The app does the lion’s share of the work and all you have to do is point and click. The subscription charges are pretty reasonable too. Themes could have been designed a bit better though. While there are so many of them to choose from, some of them are downright unusable. FaceItPages is the right tool for those looking to go live on Facebook within minutes .
