Not too long ago we'd reviewed an interesting online tool called 'Pagemodo' - a Facebook page builder that enables small business owners to design their own custom Facebook pages. It's a free service that allows non-technical people to create a customized Facebook page with ease without even bothering about HTML or Static FBML for that matter.
Webs, one of the most popular website building and hosting service for entrepreneurs has added Pagemodo to their family of products; they've also acquired ContactMe, a lightweight customer relationship management (CRM) tool.
"Pagemodo is the perfect addition to the Webs family of products." shares Haroon Mokhtarzada, CEO and co-founder of Webs.
"Our first mission was to make it super easy for anyone to create a professional-looking website, and millions of small business benefited from the Webs solution. Today, small businesses are increasingly turning to Facebook as a new marketing channel, so we think it's time to make it just as easy to manage a Facebook presence." he adds.
Webs is an incredibly easy to use site builder that provides variety of templates to choose from along with features like photos, videos, guestbook, and forums for your personalized website. According to Webs, "Webs has become the world's largest do-it-yourself website-creation solution" and has built more than 50 million sites.
With Pagemodo as a part of Webs it is clear that simply owning a professional looking website is not suffice, Facebook plays a major role for your business and having an equally professional looking Facebook Page is imperative too. Pagemodo has published over 100,000 custom Facebook pages and has over 60,000 small and micro-business signed up with them; 1.2 million Facebook users view a Facebook page powered by Pagemodo every month.
Thomas Kjeldgaard and Jakob Lykkegaard, founders of Pagemodo share:
"By using Pagemodo's Pagebuilder, small businesses can design and add new tabs - such as 'Welcome' page - to their Facebook fan pages. The Pagebuilder provides ready-made templates that do 99% of the work, so no technical or design skills are needed. To customize their pages, users can upload pictures (like company logo or sample work), embed videos, change the color palette, modify copy, and more. The result is a Facebook presence that is striking, engaging and informative."
When asked about the acquisition of Pagemodo by Webs, Thomas Kjeldgaard shares: "We are really excited to be joining Webs, Pagemodo has ton of potential and we can't wait to work with Webs on improving it with more features, more dynamic content, and an enhanced user experience."
Jakon Lykkegaard adds "Pagemodo is also going to get a lot more exposure by joining forces with an established popular company like Webs. All of the small businesses that use Webs will find out that there's also an easy way to improve the quality of their Facebook presence."
We hope that millions of small businesses that are part of Webs are able to benefit from this latest acquisition not only for Facebook pages but also their customer relationship management by using ContactMe tool.
