FaceItPages, a do-it-yourself Facebook fan page creation service, provides Facebook templates with a variety of optional modules that can help you build your business. Its Premier package lets you add a YouTube or Twitter feed, or add an RSS feed from your blog. You can also insert a map or custom form.
FaceItPages offers a variety of Facebook layouts with clipart images and various column widths and image placement options. FaceItPages also lets you add your own images. However, while implementing the step-by-step template we used to create our tab, the interface got stuck when we tried to go back to Step 1 more than once. A prompt encouraging us to add additional images or more content appeared with a big exclamation point that made us think there was an error.
In addition, publishing using FaceItPages is not initially intuitive. Once you save your completed tab in the interface, you must click on the Facebook icon in order to install your tab. Because images you upload into the FaceItPages templates must be at least 520 pixels wide, you will likely need to alter the size of your images using Photoshop or another graphics application. However, this fan page creation service does let you edit and delete published tabs within its interface.
FaceItPages offers a variety of templates; some include clipart and some are blank. It includes a reveal-page template that allows you to enter two sets of content – one that non-fans will see and another that may only be seen once people click the Like button at the top of the screen.
FaceItPages also comes with a number of useful, business-savvy modules that you can add to your tab to promote your business. Some of these allow you to add a photo collage, YouTube video, background music, a custom contact form, a Twitter feed and an RSS feed of your blog.
FaceItPages appears to be very user-friendly because its interface uses a step-by-step process to complete and publish your tab design. However, FaceItPages’ interface is not initially intuitive. When one template got stuck, we had to begin a new template to publish our tab into the Facebook application. It also does not provide clear descriptions within the design interface.
FaceItPages’ website provides a contact form and the option to speak with a representative through a live chat window. The website also encourages you to write on its Wall or to send the company a direct message through FaceItPages’ Facebook page. However, the service does not provide tutorials or a community forum for its members.
FaceItPages do-it-yourself Facebook tab creation service provides a robust set of layout designs and widgets that will enhance your Facebook fan page. These include the ability to add a YouTube video, insert a Twitter feed or an RSS feed from your blog. The service's design interface is not initially intuitive, however, and we experienced some problems with the interface, which got stuck at one point and did not let us finish creating our tab. Ultimately, we were able to publish a tab using FaceItPages, and we find it to be a viable service.
