Universal SSL will soon be available for all Zibster websites. This means if you are still using a previous “legacy” version of Zibster Builder (Sites built prior to January 1, 2018), you will need to move to the New Builder in order to take advantage of SSL across your entire website. The New Builder is the most current version of Zibster, and the only software we will continue to release updates for in the foreseeable future.
If you decide to stay on the Old Builder, your SSL encryption will remain limited to checkout, payment, and forms.
This is how SSL currently works – your forms, payments, and customer data is HTTPS (SSL) secure, however general informational pages use regular HTTP web addresses. To get HTTPS on ALL of your web addresses, you will need to move to the New Builder.
Upgrading from Builder (or earlier technologies) represents a chance to get a lot more features, tools, and designs. Plus, if it’s been years since you’ve updated the look of your website, this can be a much-needed opportunity to revamp your design while making your site function more efficiently.
Moving to the New Builder involves a few steps, and there are several things to consider when planning your move:
Building On The New Builder
Most users switching to New Builder from the "Builder" (our most recent version from before January 1, 2018) will see a pink "TRY NEW BUILDER” button when they access the Builder. Clicking this button will let you select a new template and begin customizing your website.
If you do not see this button, call us and we will help you get access to the New Builder. We are happy to waive any extra fees associated with upgrading so that you can start building on our most current version at no extra charge.
If you would like assistance moving over to the New Builder (or don't have time to do this yourself) we can help. For Builder users, our team is able to run an “import” function to transfer over the majority of your content into the new template of your choice. Then, you can customize and style your pages.
Our Jumpstart team is also available to move your content over and give your brand a restyle, too.
Pricing/Products Included
With the New Builder, pricing and features have been standardized to make it easy and all-inclusive. No more slicing and dicing by filespace or products! Everyone gets everything, plus space for 5000 files. Pricing is a flat $29/month (or $25/month if you pay annually).
When you launch your New Builder site, your monthly membership will reflect this new pricing. Most users will see their bill stay at a similar or lower price. In a few cases, pricing may be a little higher, but you also get access to more features, expanded file space, free marketing emails to send each month, a blog, a full-featured online store (with zero commission fees), unlimited forms, plus a much more intuitive and flexible builder to create your website.
Because we want everyone to be able to use the best Zibster has to offer, we will waive any extra fees to upgrade to the New Builder. For instance, if you are missing a Blog, we will add one to your account for no charge.
Know that you always have the option to switch to annual billing to receive the annual discount. Just call us at 844-353-3412 and we can update your billing preferences.
How To Make The Switch
Most users already have the New Builder upgrade available! Just look for the pink "Try New Builder" button in the Builder. From here, you can pick a template and start creating your site on the New Builder. If you need help or would like our team to run an import, we can do this. Just call 844-353-3412.
We will answer all of your questions and add the New Builder to your account so you can start building. Our team will be glad to walk you through how to use the new system and tools. Whenever you have questions, be sure to give us a call! It's our goal to make sure your transition is smooth, successful, and stress-free.
Start Now So You Can Be Ready For SSL!
If you want to upgrade, don’t wait until the last minute! SSL will be here within a couple weeks, so it’s smart to be prepared. Go ahead and upgrade or call us to get started. Getting prepared by moving to the New Builder will ensure you don’t have to wait another second once SSL update is deployed.
Call us at 844-353-3412 to see what you need to do to prepare, and we can do everything we can to help!
If you don’t have time to build, or would just like us to take care of everything for you, our Jumpstart team can build your New Builder site fast. The service is only $350 and we can finish in just a few days if you’re ready to roll.
If your site was built AFTER January 1, 2018 then you have been using the New Builder from the beginning.
