Question

Need help with DW V20 to https secure

We have a web site launched in 1996 that needs someone familiar with DW v20.   Making it https secure.

The site is about 700 pages.  I realize this is not a job-posting platform, but we'd love to have someone available for this project, and a host of other issues that need ongoing attention.

Secure HTTPS is a server issue that has nothing to do with your code editor.  Contact your web host and ask about adding SSL/TLS certificates to your plan.  These days, most web hosts include basic SSL certificates as part of their hosting package.

 

Regarding your 1996 FrontPage-built website.  Yes, it's very outdated.  You need a new web site.  The first page alone contains 78 code errors.  See results below.

Hire an experienced web developer to build you a new site. Consider switching to WordPress or some other online site building platform with built-in e-commerce and a content management system (CMS).

Thank you for your reply, Nancy.

Our long-time server--Sonic-- does not offer SSL certificates. We're looking for someone to manage this transition to HTTPS.  We're also looking for a reliable and trustworthy web builder to bring the current Dreamweaver web site up to date with coding errors, etc.  We do not want a Wordpress website.   How does one locate an experienced web builder famililiar with dreamweaver?

" We do not want a Wordpress website. "

700 static pages is a 10,000 lb gorilla.  If not WP, then some other solution with CMS and e-commerce.  Which one depends on your budget and hosting plan.

 

"How does one locate an experienced web builder...?"

Search online for web developers/agencies in your region.  Also post your job on Behance/Adobe Talent (free for a limited time only).
