I have done a Face Book Business Page, I would like to change my page and put a part on their perhaps with special deals instead of perhaps the notes! if you look at the face book link below you will see what I mean. Been trying for ages to do it, lol!.
You're on the right track. Have a look at my page: https://www.facebook.com/kmbookkeeping
look at the pages about us, offers and free quote. Is this what you are looking for? The about us page is a simple HTML page, the offers is what is known as a like gate where you see different content when you click like to before, and the quote uses an SSL to display some dynamic content.
This is something we are now offering our clients as an extra service. The simple page is £99, the like gate is £299 and the dynamic pages are from £399. We looked at the offerings already out there and have found this to be very competitive.
yes that's exactly what I'm talking about, your fb page is one of the reasons I started to wonder lol! - I've been thinking how did he do that???. Would like to start with a simple one first, how much would you charge me to point me in the right direction?. Like "about us", "free initial meeting" and "quotes", apps for people to click on.
Can a page you have designed from a website be used, I managed to find the apps section on fb in the end, and sort of entered a test app, then put in my website page uummm, what's it called (sorry brand new to fb apps lol) and it rejected it saying: Error
Canvas URL must point to a directory (i.e., end with a '/' or a dynamic page (i.e., have a '?' somewhere).
Secure Canvas URL must point to a directory (i.e., end with a '/' or a dynamic page (i.e., have a '?' somewhere).
Secure Canvas URL must use SSL and begin with https.

I'll give you a better reply when I get a chance later, but one of the things you'll need to do is get a secure socket layer (ssl) for your web space. You're host should be able to do this for you. What this does is encrypt any information passed between your server and the users web browser. Although not really required for letting them view non sensitive content, Facebook seems to require it for everything.
You then just create the webpage you want to display in the page, and upload it to your site. So the page might be www.1st-stopaccounts.co.uk/facebook/page1.html. To set this up you just put the following settings into the apps setup page. The basic info is self explanatory. Click App on Facebook and you would enter the following:
Canvas Page: (Should be there for you.) It will be http://apps.facebook.com/[Your App Name] Canvas URL: http://www.1st-stopaccounts.co.uk/facebook/ Secure Canvas URL: https://www.1st-stopaccounts.co.uk/facebook/
For my page I fixed the width and had a fluid height, but play around until you get the best sizes for your page.
Click Page Tab.
Page Name: [This is the name you want displayed] Page Tab URL: http://www.1st-stopaccounts.co.uk/facebook/page1.html Secure Page Tab URL: https://www.1st-stopaccounts.co.uk/facebook/page1.html Add your image and thats you.
To add it to your page just go to: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_CANVAS_PAGE
I assume you're hosting with 123reg? If this is the case they will install it for you. Have a read of this: http://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/SSL-Certificates/SSL-Explained/how-can-i-add-an-ssl-certificate-to-my-domainwebsite-627/
