1- Easy Navigation on the Left Side

As you can see in the screenshot above, on the left-hand side the new layout has an arranged section for Home, About, Events, and Videos along with others. The new layout has an essence of the mini website which has more appeal to it.

2- Separated Display Picture

This is probably a much-needed change. The earlier layout left users asking for separated cover and Display picture. Well, congratulations because Facebook has listened and provided with a layout wherein your display picture does not overlap your cover picture. The display picture has been moved to the left-hand side of the page. The resolution also has been enhanced. You can upload a much better quality picture of your business enterprise.

The minimum image size is unchanged at 180*180 pixels. If you happen to notice a poor resolution picture it is time to change it with a better one.

 

3- Cover Image

Cover images look more prominent now that there is no display picture eating up its space. As you can see in the screenshot above it has been repositioned just beside the display picture on the right-hand side. Now that the display picture and cover image do not overlap brands can effectively use this space to appeal to their customers.

The good news is that there is no reduction in the upload size of a cover image. You can upload a cover image of a size of 828*315 pixels.

 

4- Clearer Like, message, Share Buttons

Like, Message and More tabs have been adjusted just below the cover picture. With the option of “More” tab, you can perform many important tasks. As you can see in the image below you can invite more followers, view insights and much more with this sorted page layout.
