Most owners of online businesses are not even aware of the incredible ‘user engagement’ potential that a compelling and persuasive Facebook page possesses. Designing good and attractive Facebook pages can be quite a difficult task that requires plenty of creativity and oodles of patience. Designing a professional and appealing Facebook fan page also demands adequate knowledge of PHP, HTML, FBML (Facebook Mark-Up Language) and CSS. However, learning the nuances and intricacies of these programming languages and proficiency in them that churns out high-end graphics and advanced designing is best left to professional designers and programmers who can be consulted to make a Facebook page for a business that ties in strongly with the needs and requirements of the target online audience. But, small businesses and startup firms that run on fixed budgets may not be able to afford a professional designer.

This is where ShortStack steps in and steals the show with their user-friendly and free Facebook page applications, widgets, etc. ShortStack spruces up Facebook business page design by offering a number of customization options ...
... that include, but are not limited to their Custom Publish option that personalizes tabs and label icons to match a company’s or an agency’s brand, creating sweepstakes or contests along with custom entry forms on the Fan Page that are compliant with Official Promotion guidelines, the Product Widget that enables online marketers and advertisers to add a list of products and other items along with the title, description, URL, and a photo to their tab, etc. You can also spice up a promotion or an event by displaying a countdown timer on the Facebook Page. As a part of setting up a Facebook fan page, users are given an option of adding and rearranging unlimited ShortStack widgets and a new one can easily be added with a single click. Users also get to control the content visibility through these widgets that can be made visible to fans, non-fans, or both. Usually, tabs on Facebook fan pages can be created using either static FBML based applications along with a combination of HTML or the more complex iFrame based application. However, ShortStack's fan-only content is not visible in the page source code, so there is no scope for cheating the fan gates that remains a possibility when designers use static FBML. Flash-based iFrame tabs can be created quickly using ShortStack’s built-in Media Manager and Flash Widget. Advanced features and options like their built-in editor that validates CSS with a single click and also saves them as reusable themes supports real-time updation while the CSS is edited.
