Secure Pages
Secure pages use encryption to protect information submitted by the user, or content shown to the user. Pre-2015, secure pages were generally critical only if you were collecting information that was highly sensitive to users (social security numbers, passport information, or credit-card numbers, etc.).
The requirement for SSL now is much more important for all sites, as search engines such as Google will penalize your site in the search engine result pages if you do not have an SSL installed.
Given this, Back2Front has institued a policy whereby moving forward all clients will have SSL for their sites, thus making the unique distinction of a secure page unnecessary as all Back2Front managed pages are now secure.
Secure pages use the https protocol, which is implemented using an SSL certificate. Browsers typically identify secure pages with a lock icon.
Password-protected Pages
For the next level of security, password-protected pages require a login to view. Password protection is required by so-called "Extranet" (private) systems and web applications, such as members-only areas, and administrative staff pages.
Password-protected pages are also encrypted as above, and are customized to your needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and come up with an optimal solution. To see examples of what you can do within the password protected section of your web site see our
Enterprise pages.

Custom Programing
If you need to do more online and a plug-in module or software-as-a-service is not available or practical in your case, a custom solution may be right for you. However, this is one item we can't flat rate – sorry. Please
contact us, tell us what you need, and if we can't find a pre-made solution, we will provide a quote to build it for you.
Plug-in Module
A plug-in module is a pre-built add-on to a web site. Plug-ins offer password-protected pages through a generic (reusable) solution. There are plug-ins for making appointments, for performing calculations, for organizing events, for blogging... you name it - there is a plug-in for it. Many plug-ins can be embedded into one of the pages on your web site so it appears as a seamless part of your site.
Plug-ins are cost effective alternatives to custom built solutions. Custom-built password-protected pages can be expensive for some applications. If customization is not an issue, but cost is, then a plug-in module may be the ideal solution.
Note: Plug-ins are self-managed (you administer it yourself), non-customizable (apart from some cosmetic/design customizability), and help and support come from online documentation and public forums.
The chart below list the three types of plug-ins and the prices and services available for each type.
