I’m trying to get input from those of you who are experienced in interactive web applications, so if the following rambles a bit, please bear with me…and any insights offered will be much appreciated.
I am designing my company’s website, I have been requested to add a page where visitors can apply for loans online.
The issues I am concerned about are the following:
1. Security/Privacy. I believe we have this angle covered as we will be purchasiing an SSL certificate for our site from the web host. Is this the usual procedure?
2. Technologies used. Currently, we have php/mysql capability on the back end for the site, which I know next to nothing about. If I understand correctly, all info entered into a form needs to be handled through server-side scripting, correct? Are there any tutorials anyone could guide me to in order to do this?
3. The form itself. I am currently composing an extremely simple series of field for the clients to fill in information. Would anyone be awre of a (preferably open source)loan application form template I might use?
Again, any suggestions will be of much help, and thanks in advance.
