Is Your Website Secure?

There are still many websites on the internet which are not secure. How do you know? When you are on a website you will see a padlock in the top left corner of the web address in the navigation bar, often highlighted in green. This shows your visitors your website is secure. If you do not have this then your visitors are less likely to stay on your website and find an alternative competitor who’s site is secure.

Why is it important to have your website secure?

Your website is your businesses online shop front and often the first contact you will have with your customer. If it is not safe and secure then your new relationship with your customer can be compromised; if your website is not secure hackers can install malware to your site which will allow them to steal customer information like addresses, payment details or other personal information and even take over your site without you knowing.
