Design Professional-Looking Facebook Pages the Easy Way

Most Facebook pages for business look rather generic. There is normally a company logo, a few extra pictures and a long list of wall posts. To stand out among the thousands of business Facebook pages, many companies hire marketing teams to create unique layouts.

For small businesses with small budgets, a free option from Pagemodo can create professional-looking pages with the same ease Weebly allows for website designers.

At www.pagemodo.com, click the green Get Started button, located on the left side of the screen. Next, click the Connect with Facebook button and enter your Facebook login information. Click Allow if asked to give Pagemodo access to your Facebook account. A page-building interface will appear. Choose a layout from the options on the left and click the Continue button below the layout choices.

A list of numbered steps appears for customizing your page. Each step has a label that appears in the preview screen on the right. The steps start with uploading your favorite photographs, then adding headlines and descriptions. Everything is customizable – even the background colors.

When done adding pictures and text, the last step is to choose a subscription option. The first option is free and includes one page with a footer that states the page was made with Pagemodo.

For most small businesses this is a fine option, but for those who want to lose the footer and have a couple extra pages, there is a $9 per month option. Prices climb from there.

Once a subscription plan is decided, click the green install button to create the page.

Your page is ready instantly and added among the other tabs on Facebook at the top near the Profile tab.
