My friend Leigh Kostiainen recently redesigned my Facebook, Twitter and YouTube themes all to match. You can see the before & after of each of those pages in this quick video:
Even if you already "like" my Facebook Page, you can view the Welcome page here that new visitors see when they arrive: ClickNewz Welcome Page on Facebook. You can also see Leigh's work on my Twitter Profile and my YouTube Channel.
Leigh is now offering these services at Advanced Fan Page Solutions. As my friend (which she can tell when you go through that referral link) you'll receive a discount. Just use the coupon code "49special" at checkout.
This will give you a $49 discount on the Premium Service.
Check out my pages at the links above, and notice the branding across those social media channels. If you are branding your online business (and you should be!), you'll want to have custom designs on your social media profiles as well.
Leigh offers a great, affordable service - and she's a pleasure to work with! I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted when we started, but she has a great eye for things - and a creative streak that really complements her technical skills.
You'll notice that I have a custom Welcome Page on Facebook for new visitors, and a welcome video with a working opt-in box so that they can subscribe to ClicKNewz right there on Facebook. There are also new tabs that feature my latest tweets, YouTube videos, let people share the page with their friends, etc. It provides a lot more content and options for interaction.
These updates are all brand new, so I am now looking into ways that I can promote my social profiles more and grow those networks. I'll be sharing tips and ideas with you along the way as I test things, of course. But it only made sense to get my branding in place before creating the marketing strategy.
If you've been searching for Facebook Fan Page Design, or help with your social media profile branding across the board, talk to Leigh. You'll really enjoy working with her, and I think you'll be very pleased with the results!

About Lynn Terry
Hi Lynn
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it was my pleasure to work with you and help you with branding your social media profiles. It has been awesome to see the growth in your Facebook Page fan numbers in such a short time.
And don't worry, most people don't know what they want at the start ... that's the point LOL it's my job to guide you.
Let me know if you need any further assistance 🙂
Cheers
Leigh
These look great Lynn (and Leigh!)
I am interested in doing something like this at some point, but feel it is premature for where I am with some of my business development efforts.
Lynn, at what stage of someone's online business do you think something like this becomes a "must have" versus a "nice-to-have"?
Thanks!
Hi Trish thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me as this is a very personal project for me ... heart on the sleeve 🙂
I know Lynn will answer you but for my 2 cents, branding is who you are as a business, and having a strong brand makes marketing easier but it doesn't have to be all the bells and whistles from day one. A good photo, a website header image, fan page wall banner and a 125x125 ad banner are a good place to start. Good luck.
Wow, she's truly worked her magic - I love that! And I love having all the cohesiveness of all of your different properties. That goes beyond being consistent with your avatar and takes your branding to a whole new level. Awesome!!
Thanks Lisa Marie, you are so sweet. The whole idea came from tying all of Lynn's properties together, I was only going to focus on Facebook. But it makes so much sense to have such a great strong and complete profile. Leigh 🙂
Leigh has done an excellent job with her business. I too offer a similar service on G34 Media. But have been busy with other projects, that by the time I get to developing it, Facebook will be passe. lol.
The video on your Facebook page is a nice touch and looks fabulous.
Great job, Leigh.
Thanks Missy, that video was so funny to make ... I won't go into it here though 😉
Leigh and Lynn, I love this!
I think I'm over Twitter; it's just not meshing with my personality or style, and I forget to tweet for days on end. I read that in the US there are 117 million Facebook users and 20 million Twitter users- so I plan to hire Leigh and just work on expanding my Facebook presence.
I know that I go to a specific local bakery rather than other bakeries because they have a cool Facebook page which I follow!
And, like Lynn, I'm not sure what I want, but I know that Leigh will guide me! Thanks:)
Hi Ellen
That is so cool to hear that you go to a bakery because of it's fan page ... it must be 'real' good! Do share 🙂
And just on those Fb stats, they currently claim to have over 400 million registered users and 30% of those are in the USA. On a daily basis 50% of registered users log into their accounts 😮
Here is a link to more Fb stats if you a re interested http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics
I will be honored to help guide you to build lasting relationships with your fans and followers.
Leigh 🙂
That was a really professional looking video Leigh! I definitely think that with the way that businesses are adopting social media - this should be a thriving business for you.
I can vouch for the effectiveness of Facebook, although I have attracted Fans through the paid ads options. I have a CTR of 50% from ads to Fans, and an increase of 20% to my site and mailing list. It has been truly amazing - I can only imagine what additional branding would do to the numbers!
Great video Leigh and Lynn.
Lee did an excellent job!! i like it
The after looks really look nice! Social medias are really a great way to increase traffic to your site so it's just right to make your fanpages and everything else stand out from the crowd. You did a great job! More power!
The make overs were fantastic - but what I really enjoyed was the video adverting the service - really impressive!
David
Thank you to everyone for your really lovely feedback, and I write a blog post on how I did that video ...
I know Lynn is loving her new pages, and as Michelle mentioned the effectiveness of Facebook and social media branding is already showing it's benefits to her.
Warmest regards
Leigh
Hi Leigh
Can you provide a link to that post once it is up?
Thanks!!
Yes will do 🙂
Awesome job, thanks for the post. Really the best work for making your page standout and not just a common page seen on others.
I love the whole branding thing .. but in the YouTube channel, the background seems to be broken up on my monitor. I'm using a laptop at 1366 x 768 and it doesn't look anything like the same as it does in the video :/ I can send you a screen capture if it would help.
Hi Isobel
Thank for the feedback and yes a screen shot would be great, you can send that to me at admin at advancedfanpagesolutions dot com.
Much appreciated 🙂
Cheers
Leigh
Facebook is one of the most successful social networking sites. Both students and professionals in any age group are hook into it. They simply love the features that the site can offer to them. One of which is the facebook fan page. This is the most effective way to connect people with similar interest.
Hello!
My name is Ala and I am the owner of Jordan Marquee. A new business that I created in Amman Jordan.
I have created a group on Facebook just today and would like to personalise or style it?
Can you please let me know how much it cost and/or how to do it?
Thanks,
Ala
Thanks for the help and encouragement to put up a Facebook page. I found it somewhat frustrating when I tried earlier, but it seems to be getting better for me.
As a newbie to internet marketing this helps immensely.
Thanks again,
John {JetAviator7}
Hi Ala & John
Thanks for your comments, I am sorry I missed your Ala, it is encouraging to see new people getting their businesses into the Facebook marketplace, after all it is one of the biggest in the world. It just happens to be a bonus that you can harness free traffic from it.
I offer customization services and am working on a DIY video training course for later in the year. But there are lots of tips at my fan page http://www.facebook.com/PromoteMyFanPage so feel free to join our community.
For pricing on my services click on Lynn's affiliate link in the article and that will take you to my packages page.

Leigh
Thanks for this post.
I was looking for someone to help me with my fan page
and youTube page. I googled "facebook fan page design"
and found this... and purchased their services 🙂
Can't wait to see my new pages!
Thanks again,
Matt Bacak
P.S. The special code is maxed out.
Hey Lynn,
I just tried to invite a bunch of friends to Like your fan page and something's wrong with the process. After you select friends and go through all the stages, an error comes up at the end. I figured I'd give you a heads up so that maybe Leigh could look into it?
The fan page design looks very nice. Are you using FBML for fan page design.I tried to use forms in fan page but its not working, if use any other application please let me know. Thanks
Hi Matt, great to have you on board as a client.
@Jan thanks for the heads up 🙂
Chris I use html to create form in Facebook pages the original source code is usually suitable. I have found the apps are not very good for this option. Cheers
Leigh
