National Communications’ new website goes live!

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

We’re proud to showcase the brand new website our team at Trystal Tech created for National Communications!

National Communications are an Australian company, selling telephone line equipment, door station products, and digital audio hardware. They approached us with the dream of having a fully automated shopping cart, with the ability to accept credit cards and PayPal payments instantly and securely. NatComm had brand new product images (as well as some exciting new products!) to add, plus some new product descriptions and brochures.

First, we asked one of our fabulous designers Amy to create a brand new website image for National Communications. When everyone was happy with the design, we built it into an online shopping cart system, and imported all of the old and new products, images & documents from their existing site. Shipping rates were set up, as well as different products for different regions – for when NatComm expands their online presence overseas.

Our shopping cart site accepts various payment methods – PayPal of course (we’re certified developers!), and direct credit card, securely transmitted over an SSL encrypted connection. We built the credit card integration into Commonwealth Bank’s gateway from scratch, and gained approval for our module from the CommWeb online merchant team.

We invite you to head over and check out their new website – and take a look at their fantastic products too!

Skype web status button on SSL secure connection

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

For those of you who have been using the Skype Web Status button to display your online/offline status on your webpage, you may have noticed that it can’t be used on SSL secure pages. An internet search reveals many people looking for this same thing from Skype – an ability to use the Skype web status button on a secure page, such as a shopping cart payment page.

Including the default non-secure version on an “https:” SSL secured page will cause your client’s browsers to display ‘insecure’ messages, or fail to display the lock icon and certificate information associated with a secure page. This can reduce consumer confidence in your service, as well as look unprofessional.

We’ve developed a fix for it – with just a small upload and a change in the default Skype web status code, you can now include your web status on ANY page, secure or not. You can see an example of it working on our website contact page.

SSL certificates available

Monday, February 8th, 2010

The latest products available at Trystal Tech are SSL certificates!

Ensure the security of your customer’s online transactions by purchasing an SSL certificate. This allows you to display the ‘lock’ icon in the browser when viewing your website, as well as use ‘https’ to access your website.

Providing an SSL certificate assures your customers that their credit card and personal details are encrypted using 256-bit encryption. SSL certificates are a requirement for online stores collecting credit card numbers.

SSL certificates require a dedicated IP – for pricing, please see our website hosting page. Installation and configuration of your SSL certificate on our servers is FREE!
