Your Artist Website Needs an SSL Certificate or Chrome will call it
"Not secure"
Image Caption Goes Here
Your artist website needs to be secured with an SSL Certificate.
I'm sorry to keep coming back to such a technical subject and I know
that I've already written about this subject in the following articles:
* What is SSL?
* Why Your Art Website will Soon Need an SSL Certificate
* Chrome Browser Now Adding Privacy Alert to Artist Websites Without
SSL
I'll try to make this article more simple at to the point.
The Google Chrome team has now made an official announcement regarding
how Chrome will treat non-secure websites. You can read the full post
here
.
The most important revelation in Google's announcement is the image
they include that depicts the "eventual treatment of all HTTP pages in
Chrome."
By "HTTP" they mean "Any website not protected with an SSL Certificate"
In short, what that means is that if you don't install an SSL
certificate on your artist website, the image above is how Chrome will
eventually display a warning to your customers.
See the big red triangle with the words "Not secure?" That's what your
website visitors will see in their browser's address bar.
If you're a FASO customer, we've already got you covered. You can
enable SSL today, for Free, by simply clicking, in the left hand menu,
the option that reads, "Secure your website with Free 1-click custom
SSL."
As far as we know, we are the only website builder that includes SSL
out of the box, for free [1]. But being first, innovating, and taking
care of artists is kind of our thing. We have a history of innovating
and leading the way in the artist website industry. We did it when we
introduced an integrated blog in 2005, or when we introduced integrated
email newsletters, or again, when we introduced mobile-ready designs
years ahead of other alternatives (heck, many artist website builders
still don't generate mobile-ready websites). So, while the other guys
are figuring out how to offer Free SSL, we'll be busy implementing the
next innovation for artists.

Footnotes
[1] Not even the big website builders you see advertised on television
currently offer free SSL. Heck they don't even offer a way to pay for
SSL. Perhaps they should spend less of their users' hard earned dollars
on television advertisements, and more on re-investing in innovation
and infrastructure.....
