01Task
When a website is infected, malicious code can redirect visitors on smartphones and from search engines to third-party pages, while the website keeps working as usual for the administrator. The client needed a web service that lets the owner check how the website appears to visitors and search engines, identify the nature of the problem and get instructions for their platform.
02Solution
The web service is built on Django. The website structure focuses on two main actions: checking a website and contacting a specialist. Both are available from the header, and the page content leads to the next step.
The online check opens the website in three modes: from a desktop computer, from a smartphone and via a link from a search engine. Comparing the results reveals redirects that the administrator does not notice when viewing the website normally. The check also covers blacklists, scripts from third-party domains, the CMS version, the SSL certificate and whether service files are publicly accessible. No hosting access is required for the check.
The knowledge base contains write-ups of 29 scenarios in four categories: infection and malicious code, spam and reputation, data theft and fraud, access and website operation. For each scenario, it describes the signs of the problem, the first steps, how to deal with the consequences and how to prevent it from happening again. A separate section contains security guides for 12 platforms, including WordPress, Bitrix, Laravel and custom-built websites.
Server-side rendering makes the full text available to search engines. A sitemap is provided for indexing.
What we did. We created the design, front-end and back-end of the web service: the online check module, the knowledge base and the form for contacting a specialist. We provide technical support for the website and server.
03Design
Dark interface and 3D graphics
The interface uses a black background and color-coded statuses: lime green means normal, red means a threat and yellow means a warning. Website URLs, code and check results are shown in a monospace font.
The home page features a 3D sphere of particles that changes as you scroll. Icons, platform badges and other graphics were created specifically for the project, without stock images.
