Help! My Website says 'Not secure'

Online Evolution...

Web standards are always changing. Sometimes our perfectly wonderful websites get 'broken' because browsers update and drop features that they previously had.

For example, Flash Player was once a big part of how many websites displayed graphics and video. It's been on the way out for years, and now (at the end of 2020) it will be completely unsupported by web browsers and even the creator itself, Adobe. So all the websites still using Flash will have to transition to another way to show video.

HTTPS://

Over the last few years, more and more sites have begun using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt and secure site data. More secure than the traditional HTTP protocol, HTTPS prevents several types of spying and hacking from stealing your data.

In 2018, the Google Chrome web browser started displaying a 'Not secure' message for any site that does NOT use the secure protocol. Sites that never did install an SSL certificate, or aren't using it correctly, get flagged in this way, and run the risk of scaring off users.

I want a website... Should I DIY?

Is it possible to build your own website? YES!

Can it be fun, challenging and rewarding? Absolutely.

However, it does take some time. If you have the time and creativity to put in, building your own site on a chosen platform can save money and familiarize you with the process, which helps you keep it updated with relevant content.

How Does This Work?

First, we discuss your website needs. Initial discussions can be done via email or over the phone. Whether you want to upgrade your existing site, or start from scratch, we first hash out the details of the job. One of the things we will discuss is whether you already have a Web Hosting Plan. If not, we can help you get started with one.

After we find out what you need, you will be provided with an estimate of the time involved for the project. The estimate document will include the details discussed, which are called website specifications. These specifications should be as specific as possible, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
