Internet usage by mobile and tablet devices exceeded desktop worldwide for the first time in 2016. This means that half of your (potential) customers do not have a positive experience when they visit your website that is not mobile-friendly.

There are several reasons why a Facebook page cannot replace a real website. Facebook is primarily intended as a means of communication between friends. Nowadays it is also used by companies to promote their products or services. Facebook is not an alternative to a website because we’re talking about two completely different things. A website is part of your business and corporate identity, as a kind of digital business card with many advantages. A Facebook page is a tool that you can use to promote your company, a little bit like an advertisement. In short, as a company, your own website is the base and most important. You can however choose to have a facebook site as a promotional tool alongside your website.

Some websites show a “not sure” warning in the browser bar will not open at all because virus protection blocks them. As of July 2018, all pages on the Internet without a HTTPS (SSL certificate), receive a “not sure” message from Google Chrome, saying: ” “Your connection to this site is not secure. You should not enter any sensitive information on this site (for example, passwords or credit cards), because it could be stolen by attackers.”. You should not enter any sensitive information on this site (such as passwords or credit card details) because hackers can steal them. “ Google also shows a red warning triangle in the address bar.

All websites that Nordiska Stil creates must have an HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) protocol. If a website has HTTPS, information will be encrypted, which provides more security for (private) information, and protects the user’s privacy.

A secure HTTPS connection, requires a SSL / TLS certificate connected to the server. This certificate can be ordered by your web hosting company, often it is included in the costs. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that their site has a SSL / TLS certificate. Nordiska Stil can then add this certificate to the website.
