Read before you purchase vinyl fencing online
We used a great team of well known web developers to choose a shopping cart platform that would offer the highest security available and that could be updated when new security vulnerabilities are created or discovered by hackers. The privacy and security of our customers has been our top priority in creating a website for our customers to purchase vinyl fencing online. With identity theft and online fraud ever increasing as more and more people turn to purchasing their products online it is absolutely vital that you purchase your products from websites that are updated and use the latest in web technology. If you think about your home computer's virus protection, it needs to be updated, hackers create new viruses everyday and find security vulnerabilities of old systems over time. If you fail to update your PC you are at a high risk to malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, worms, and getting your personal information stolen. Websites are like your PC, they need to be updated if they are not updated or do not use the recently developed applications for security, your personal information will be at risk. Here are 3 quick tips to help you recognize an out-dated or unsecured website that will put your information at risk if you purchase their products online.
1. Make sure the site looks professional and new, you can tell old sites from new sites just looking at the design. Odds are that if the company does not see the importance to update their sites' look from the "1999 look" they created when they first had their site built then they also probably cut corners when creating a shopping cart. According to our web developers their shopping carts will most likely be an out dated version that may have old security vulnerabilities that could be open to hacking. Also surprisingly our developers found many issues with a lot of our online competitors while doing their research.
2. Check for the "https" in the url bar and a solid lock on the bottom bar (not http - the extra "s" means secure) :
3. Check to make sure they have a valid SSL certificate and that the connection is encrypted. Double click on the "lock" to see if the connection is encrypted. As you can see we use a High-Grade Encryption (AES-256 256 bit) and our SSL certificate is provided through "Comodo CA Limited" a well known SSL provider to encrypt websites.
