Hi All
What is the best application to create your own custom pages. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and writing my own code as i am am a website developer. I was thinking of developing the custom page off my own website and using iframes to to display it in a custom Facebook tab. Any suggestions?

I like Shortstack They have a great interface where you can manage all your apps (pages) from one location. You can use their tools to build custom apps or write you own code. There is also lots of video tutorials on their YouTube channel.
Lujure is a very popular service. I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve heard good things.

Wildfire is a great option. They are pricier, but it is a wonderful platform.
They have recently been acquired by Google and we have notified that they have some great new features coming our way soon.
It’s easy to create pages and promotions.
Use templates that are easily customizable or your own code.

Wildfire is nice but as Liron said, a little pricey. I really like northsocial.com, tons of apps and relatively inexpensive.

@geoffrey-gordon If you can code your own, I would recommend a free one – Static HTML for Pages: http://apps.facebook.com/static_html_plus/?fb_source=search&ref=ts
Works well for straight HTML code. And you can have multiple tabs. Lujure is great if you just want one tab. Super easy to use and free for one.

@geoffrey-gordon You are a web developer, so I’d go a bit further than a static html app (although it’s a great start) and built the whole app from the scratch if I were you. It’s pretty easy, because the app (canvas or page tab) displays an iframe from the URL which you set up. The only condition is the SSL certificate, but Facebook has a free and reliable option for that. So I’d recommend checking this https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/

Good point, @milan-steskal
This post is a bit out of date but still gives a good picture of the steps for doing it all on your own: http://socialmouths.com/blog/2011/03/16/how-to-build-a-facebook-landing-page-with-iframes/ @geoffrey-gordon
