SAFETY AND SECURITY

Information provided on this site is secured and encrypted by Wix.

A Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL certificate, allows visitors to view a site over an HTTPS connection. It secures the connection between your browser and the web address you’re visiting. Wix provides an SSL certificate automatically for all sites.

When a webpage has a SSL certificate, you can see a lock icon on the address bar next to the domain. Clicking this icon shows you more SSL details. However, if there isn't an SSL certificate, an "i" icon appears instead.

Some older browsers don’t support the higher security standards required by SSL certificates. Visitors accessing the site on these browsers may have trouble loading the HTTPS version of the site.

Unsupported browsers include:

Google Chrome versions older than 6
Internet Explorer versions older than 7
Firefox versions older than 2.0
Safari versions older than 2.1
All versions of Internet Explorer on Windows XP

Unsupported mobile browsers include:
