Example
P0 clients can access SSL as follows ...

So, where the normal website may be viewed as ...
http://www.change-domain.com/yourpages/
It can also be viewed securely as ...
https://www1.securesiteserver.co.uk/youraccount/yourpages/
We recommend you do not use the secure link for all pages and instead reserve it for online forms or final shopping cart order stages.
In this case, instead of linking to your online form as ...
http://www.change-domain.com/forms/contact.html
You can link to it securely as ...
https://www1.securesiteserver.co.uk/youraccount/forms/contact.html
Then, when the form has been submitted, you can redirect the visitor back to your main site pages or to another secure page.
SSL Images
When using images in an SSL page, make sure you call them correctly in the following ways (relative path or direct ssl path) ...
Correct
/images/image.gif
(OR)
https://www1.securesiteserver.co.uk/youraccount/images/image.gif
Wrong
http://www.change-domain.com/images/image.gif
If you fail to heed this rule you will continuously get the "this page includes non-secure items" notice when moving between pages.
