Facebook just doesn't make it easy do they?
Are you asking to hire me to straighten this all out?

I work for Nordstrom and we are allowed to create a facebook page to build our customers. So I followed all of the instructions and now I have two different pages. I have a profile page and a Company page. How did this happen. I only want my: Designer handbags Lee Harrison Nordstrom page. Since I just started, I am trying to tell my customers to join, but it seems that I have some on the profile page and some on my comp. page. What happened? I created the username: Designerhandbagsnordstrom and it goes to my profile page. Since this happened I had to double everything that I create for my page. Maybe you can offer me some direction since no one seems to know. I truly would appreciate it. I am so frustrated. <br>Thanks Hi,

Yes I would have to say - looking back they are more robust. When I first started doing these each page would take me around two hours. I did a promo to get the ball going at $75. Then bumped to my regular at $225. There was a big difference in the creation process then and now. At that time I was asking my clients what to give me their vision, all their working links, their assets and content for what they wanted on their tab. We learned a couple of things. Most people didn't know what would work and what wouldn't in FBML. Most people wanted to rely on my expertise instead. In that early process I built some pretty dysfunctional pages based on the clients vision (no they are not in my gallery). <br><br>Today, the form I ask my clients to fill out is 5 questions long, not 25. I've turned the table around. Give me a blog or website that you call homebase and I'll dissect it, examine everything and create something that best works in Facebook. With this new approach I believe the end product is stronger and better, the turn around time faster, and each tab is visually more engaging with stronger calls to action as well. Each Page now takes me 4 hours to build.<br><br>There are other options out there. I've seen a service for $50 that simply inserts your main contact information into a colorful image and creates a single tab. In my opinion there's no value there. I've also seen $5,000 solutions. Then there was a company called Sprout that was doing something cool for free, until they changed their structure. No longer free, it cost $3,000 a year in rent - you never owned your tab content.

I suggest you do the same - life is so much easier now because of that < One of my pre-requisites that I stipulate to new clients is that they have watched the Matrix.
