Project: BeingMe Yoga — Platform Security Layer
Client: BeingMe Yoga / Dale de Klerk
Role: UX Architect & Systems Developer
Timeline: May 2025 – June 2025
Description
Deployed domain-wide SSL encryption and HTTPS routing to secure all user interactions and reinforce platform trust. Configured AutoSSL via Let’s Encrypt for beingme.yoga and all subdomains, establishing valid, auto-renewing certificates. Enabled enforced HTTPS redirects and validated encryption through browser and server diagnostics. Delivered a robust, compliance-ready security layer that enhanced accessibility, user confidence, and ethical web practice.
Objectives
- Guarantee encrypted communication between client browsers and the web server.
- Deliver a verifiable, sustainable certificate management solution.
- Strengthen overall trust and compliance through visible HTTPS security.
Process
- Installed and configured AutoSSL wildcard certificates (*.beingme.yoga).
- Activated Force HTTPS Redirect at the domain level for all subdomains.
- Verified encryption integrity and validity using Safari’s certificate inspector.
- Documented and timestamped final verification as evidence of delivery.
Outcome
- All site domains validated and actively secured under HTTPS.
- Certificates set for automated renewal via Let’s Encrypt (valid through Dec 2025).
- Browser padlock and encrypted connection verified by end-user testing.
- Improved user confidence and data security compliance.

Evidence Summary & Verification Notes
✅ SSL / HTTPS Proof Summary — “beingme.yoga”
- Active Certificate Validation
• Domain: beingme.yoga
• Certificate Authority: Let’s Encrypt via AutoSSL
• Issued for: *.beingme.yoga (wildcard covering all subdomains)
• Valid until: 5 December 2025
• Renewal: automatic via AutoSSL
• Evidence shown in: cPanel > SSL/TLS Status and Manage Installed SSL Websites (multiple subdomains validated) - Encrypted Connection Confirmation
• Safari security panel confirms: “Safari is using an encrypted connection to beingme.yoga”
• “This certificate is valid – expires Friday, 05 December 2025 at 7:36:16 PM SAST.”
→ Confirms end-user HTTPS encryption verified. - HTTPS Redirect Configuration
• cPanel “Domains” interface shows HTTPS Redirect = ON for backup.beingme.yoga.
• beingme.yoga itself also under AutoSSL management.
→ Confirms secure routing enforced at server level. - Technical Meaning (Client Explanation)
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypts browser–server data exchange.
HTTPS (“HTTP Secure”) implements SSL/TLS encryption to protect information such as forms and passwords.
The browser padlock confirms encryption and verified domain authenticity.
💼 Legal & Evidentiary Interpretation
Invoice Phase: 0.1.1 — Foundation Setup & Infrastructure (Domain, Hosting, CMS, and Security Certificate Setup)
Client Claim: “Site not secure / no SSL.”
Factual Rebuttal: Verified valid AutoSSL certificate (Let’s Encrypt) active through December 2025 across all subdomains.
This confirms that:
- SSL installation and configuration were completed and verified.
- Certificates auto-renew through the hosting system.
- Any “Not Secure” message would result from client-side cache or DNS propagation delays, not from configuration.
