In the ever-evolving world of web development, ensuring a secure connection through SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) has become a fundamental necessity rather than a feature. However, you might have noticed that unlike some web development companies, we at Global Concept do not highlight SSL as one of our project features. This is not due to oversight or lack of importance; instead, we view SSL as an essential and straightforward element of web development today. In this blog post, we'll delve into why we hold this perspective and how easy it has become to obtain SSL certificates in 2023.
SSL, and its successor Transport Layer Security (TLS), is a security protocol used to establish an encrypted connection between a client and a server. It ensures that any data transferred between a user's browser and a website is secure from potential eavesdroppers, thereby safeguarding sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or personal details.
In the early days of the web, SSL certificates were seen as a premium feature, primarily used by e-commerce sites or websites dealing with sensitive information. However, with the rising prevalence of cyber threats, it's now considered essential for all websites to establish secure, encrypted connections. It not only ensures data security but also improves a site's SEO rankings and boosts customer trust.
The process of obtaining and installing SSL certificates has become significantly easier and more accessible over the years. Today, services like Let's Encrypt offer free SSL certificates, transforming the secure web from a premium feature to an accessible standard.
Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open Certificate Authority (CA) that has simplified the process of obtaining SSL certificates. It provides domain-validated certificates, which are perfectly suitable for a vast majority of websites.
Moreover, platforms like Cloudflare have made SSL even more accessible by providing free SSL for all their users. With a few clicks, you can secure your website with minimal hassle.
Given that SSL is a mandatory aspect of modern web development and its acquisition has been made simple and free, we do not consider it a 'feature' to highlight in our showcases or offers. Instead, we believe in focusing on the unique and complex aspects of our projects that bring value to our clients.
Our efforts are directed towards understanding our clients' business needs, building custom functionalities, optimizing performance, and ensuring an excellent user experience. These aspects, coupled with the fundamental inclusion of SSL, make our web solutions comprehensive and secure.
At Global Concept, we're committed to delivering high-quality, secure, and performance-driven web solutions. While we understand the importance of SSL and ensure its implementation in all our projects, we focus our communication on the unique value we bring through our expertise and experience. If you have any questions about SSL or how we can help your business grow online, feel free to reach out to us.
