Custom Tabs on Facebook Fan Pages

Recently for work I built a custom tab page for a client. When you add the tab you can set it as your default page and use it as a landing page for first time visitors. This is a great way to introduce people to your products or company.

It was fairly easy to do with very little coding knowledge. I wanted to share a few links that I found very helpful.

An overview on Facebook Pages – also download Fan Page product overview pdf.

The App Static FBML – you need to add this app to the tab to use FBML.
