The most amount of users on the site at one time will be at most, a few hundred.<br />

Does anyone else agree that site wide is the way to go?

I am developing a new website on which SSL will be needed.<br />
<br />
My problem is this. Should I put SSL site wide or only on the pages that actually need it, login etc etc.<br />
<br />
Will having the SSL Cert sitewide decrease performance?<br />
<br />
Any help will be much appreciated

Should I use SSL sitewide or just where it's needed?

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
