Well a welcome page is key to your Business page on Facebook, as the saying goes “1st impressions count” !

Anyway I digress, here are the steps you need to take to add a Welcome page to facebook, or any other kind of page you want. Click here for

  • 1 :- You really want to use HTML for your Welcome page, so add the Facebook App Static FBML
  • 2 :- Following the above link, click the “Add to my page” link.
  • 3 :- Back on your Business page from the wall page, you should see option to “Edit Page” (top left) . Click this
  • 4 :- Page down options until you get to “Static FBML”. Click the pencil top right & choose “edit”
  • 5 :- You will now be shown a box for your page title, plus main content area. Don’t enter anything yet, as there appears to be a bug with the software
  • 6: – The bug seems to be related to creating you 1st page….. it doesn’t show on your Facebook. Instead click “Add another FBML box” at bottom
  • 7:- The new page called “FBML 1″ will be added to list at bottom of page. Click “edit” against it
  • 8:- Now, enter title for your page …eg “Welcome” & the enter your html for main content. Save your content
  • 9:- Now to add your page to a tab. Go back to Step 4 , & this time against Static FBML choose “Application Settings”, & click “add” against tab.
  • 10:- Go back to your main page & add the tab “Welcome”. Re-order tabs as you see fit
  • 11:- Final step if you want “Welcome” page to be landing page for all visitors. Go back to Step 4 & choose “Wall settings”
  • 12:- Choose “Default Landing Tab” as “Welcome”

    • There you have it. A pretty simple process to add a professional look & feel to your Facebook Biz page :)
