Hello All:

Can anyone tell me how can I create a fb tab for my fan page and bring a whole website on it.  I have see it done but dont know how.

Maybe with a html code instruction that i can just copy and paste?

I would just download any of the apps that allow you to create a Facebook tab with custom HTML code and then display the website using an iframe.

One recommendation for the app is Static HTML (Google it). Go to the website of W3C and look up how to code iframes (super, super simple).

One word of caution: make sure that the website that you want to display in the iframe has dimensions that won’t look super weird when loaded in Facebook. I BELIEVE that the max width is 720px, but it might be closer to 500px now. It’ll still load, but you want to avoid having a bunch of scroll bars for usability reasons.

Good luck, and don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

@carlosdixon Are you sure you want to bring a whole website into your Facebook Fan Page? Facebook has different purposes than an entire website and it might be over powering… I know I don’t know your goals or your strategy, but this is just my initial thoughts.
I love the different tabs, and you can definitely do something interesting there, and engaging! One thing I always like to remember is to determine which platform (website, blog, Facebook) is my “home-base” and then to use the other platforms, their goal being to bring people over to my home-base. It all goes with the strategy as a whole…
As for what to use, iFrames are really great, because you can host the pages and content yourself, and you have complete flexibility with them…
Good luck with your project either way!

I use StaticHTML for my company and we have a condenced version of our site.

Thanks for your reply.  I wont used any branded app nor pay site anymore.  I want to learn how to do it like Janet and Michelle suggested.  I started watching video about it already.   This is a great tool for a fb novice like me to learn and for experts worldwide to help and at the same time promote themselves @andreavahl  

That is a great suit of apps @Moinshaikh.  I dream of offering similar apps like those within Woobox in the future but under my brand.

Cheers

Thanks Carlos! @carlosdixon We try hard to make those tutorials useful.

@carlos, i just literally launched a fan page about my fan page service. it’s been an education to be sure! (here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/fantasticcustomfanpages)

social media examiner actually as a big help to me with this article: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/top-10-facebook-apps-for-building-custom-pages-tabs/i went to each site, tried each one out and finally used Static HTML. i got the tab app for free, but i did work with a web designer friend to create the links to my website (in my tip bubbles) so i know coding is a must. i haven’t tried some of the self-serve sites mentioned above yet because i wanted more control over the graphics etc. post your page once you’ve got yours figured out!
