Encrypted Forms on GS?

[Alan-A]

I'm pretty sure there's nothing like that built into GetSimple.

I thought that too

But if you just used an SSL connection with a standard contact form plugin, there'd be no need for any JavaScript or modification of code, all communications between the browser and the site would be encrypted.

This sounds like a possibility. If I could hack into the module to change the protocol to https then all I'd need to sort out would be (I've just looked at Wikipedia's "HTTP Secure" article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure)):

• organising a certificate
  

• ensure that I'm using a fixed IP-Address and am not on a name-based virtual host
  

However, I can't see how I could get the menu link to my contact form to work. It would have to read "https://.....", meaning a system hack and increasing complexity ... and maybe I should start to think about another CMS for this project.
(It seems stupid to go to a more complex system for a site with only a dozen pages but encryption seems to be a "must" for this customer - a doctor wanting to assure his patients about confidentially.)
