What we need:

After you compete payment you will be taken to a form where we need to collect some information. We will need to get your name and email so we can ask any questions we may have and to alert you when we are done.

We also need the cPanel or FTP login and password from your hosting provider. We can’t do anything without this information. We also need your WordPress or other CMS login and password. Once we have this information we can get started. In most cases we will have your site done within 24 hours of receiving the credentials, but during busy times it could be up to 5 business days.

What we will do:


Step 1: Make a backup

The first step of any website work is to make a backup-up of all files and databases. This important step is often skipped by less reputable freelancers. Before we do any work on a website we we download a complete backup on to our local machine. It is a simple insurance that even if something went wrong and the web site got damaged it could be returned to the starting point again. Not making a backup before doing website work can end in complete loss of all files. I have heard many horror stories about business owners losing their entire site after hiring a ‘cheap’ freelancer to make a simple change or update. Having your website rebuilt can easily cost thousands of dollars.

Having a complete backup of your website insures there is no way to end up worse then you started.

GRB Marketing https service includes create a complete backup for your site before any work is done. We permanently delete the backup 24 hours after service is complete.

Step 2: Code .htaccess file to force https

A website is hosted on a web server. A webserver is simply a powerful computer running specialized software. One of the most popular web server software packages is called ‘The Apache HTTP Server’ more commonly called just ‘Apache’. The ‘.htaccess’ is a configuration file for Apache.

When you have a web site using https the best practice is to force all visitors to use the https version. The best way to force all visitors to use the https is to use the .htaccess file. Placing the correct code in the .htaccess file will make all your web sites pages load as https.

GRB Marketing https service includes creating an appropriate .htaccess file for your site.

Step 3: Change dependency links to https

In most cases when you change a web site to https there are some problems. These problems can be seen in the web browser when you are not getting a green lock symbol. There can easily be dozens of items on each page that need to be changed.

GRB Marketing https service includes changing the dependency links on the template files and up to 10 pages. In cases of more pages a more in depth analysis is necessary.

Step 4: Update all files, scripts and plugins.

Having an updated website is important. By far the biggest culprit to hacked web sites is outdated scripts and plugins. Hackers search the internet looking for sites showing signs of being outdated. It is easier then you might think, many young people do it as they how to write code. Their are step by step instructions on the internet of how to find and crack outdated versions of software. It is important to always keep software up to date.

GRB Marketing https service includes updating the plugins and scripts on your site.

Step 5: Test

GRB Marketing https service includes testing your site to be sure the https is working as expected. We can also create a new backup for you to download and have for your future use, we only do this upon request.
