Facebook Fan Pages Redesign - What Does This Mean For Users and Owners?
The same changes that caused a redesign of personal profiles in December of last year will soon occur with Fanpages, and is very overdue.
This brings them up to date with a new design that is more in line with a business, and separates fanpages from personal profiles.
The end result? Page owners have more flexibility.
One of the largest changes is that Page Administrators can now login as your fan page and comment on other peoples profiles and fan pages as the fan page and not your personal profile.
This will be very helpful for a lot of people.
As a Administrator you will also be able to set custom tabs for new visitors to see, which will be very helpful when using branding in marketing.
Here is a quick summary of the changes: 1-Photo strip above the Wall (with the most recent photos you posted or tagged) TIP: To optimize your photos size them to 96x67px in order to fit in the space provided and plan for them to be in random order.
2-Tabs move over to the left panel, in the form of a list (maximum of 6 above the fold) 3-Profile picture reduced from 200 x 600 pixels to 180 x 540 4-Blurb box that was below the Page picture moved to info tab 5-Pages can Like other Pages, not just favorite them 6-Featured Pages and Admins 7-Page category 8-Choice for Wall posts between "Everyone" and Page posts only 9-Mutual Friends and Interests section 10-Ability to interact on Facebook as your Page 11-Ability for admins to post and comment around the site under their Page's alias 12-News feed of updates from Liked Pages 13-Pages can now feature iFrame tab applications 14-Email notifications when users post or comment The changes go into full effect for all Facebook Pages on March 10, which gives you four weeks to preview the new format and switch over at any time before then.
