eDesign Security Upgrade

As recent news stories have shown, any site could fall victim to hacking. To improve user ID and password security for our customers, Herff Jones is taking proactive measures to ensure school data is safe in eDesign and Stitch. On Friday, September 21, eDesign and Stitch will be converting to a new “https” secure address. Visitors to the old address will be automatically forwarded to the new address.

Current: http://hjedesign.com            http://stitch.herffjones.com
New:      https://hjedesign.com          https://stitch.herffjones.com

Please share this information with your school IT personnel so that proper access may be granted to the new url and in the case of the school networks that have opened a specific path to eDesign down to the port level (port 80), so that they can redirect to port 443. In this case, the redirect will be blocked at your school’s firewall until the new address and port are allowed for eDesign and Stitch. Should you need any assistance or have any questions about these changes, feel free to contact our toll-free Tech Support Hotline at 1.877.362.7750. For customers who experience technical difficulty with this change, the TSA team is prepared to explain the port number and URL change.
