Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I received an email from someone inviting me to see some content at WeOurFamily, but I don't want to have to pay. Can I still see the content?
A: There is no charge for anyone to view content. The ablity to view and comment on content is free. To see how to respond to an invitation view our demo video Responding to an invitation.

Q: Why do I have to pay to create a community and share my own content?
A: The short anwser is that it costs us money to run WOF. Instead of selling your private content and information or posting advertisments when people view your content, we charge a small annual fee that allows us to pay our bills, maintain the site, develop the features, and provide support. We'll be making some blog entries soon regarding why we require an annual membership fee.

Q: How many people can I have in my community?
A: There is no limit on how many people you have in your community. Share away...It's fun!

Q:  How many people may upload files on one subscription?
A:  Three editors (or email accounts) may be added to each subscription. This allows three people to upload files per one subcription.

Q:  What does Secure mean?
A:  The security you receive using WOF is the same type you get when using online banking (industry-standard SSL encryption). WOF was programmed using those same industry standards for security. This means you can be sure whoever might want to "fish" the internet for malicious reasons will not be able to even see your content let alone use it!!  Also it is much safer from virus attacks than other social networking sites because you are only making it available to trusted friends and family.

Q:  What does Private mean?
A:  Unlike most other sites where you have to keep narrowing down who gets access to what and also read through all of their lengthy and confusing "terms and conditions" to really know what is being shared with or sold to someone else (and even then are you really sure?), WOF starts with all content only being seen by you, the person who posts it. Then you pick who gets to see it from there! (And you always have the ability to take back anything that was shared!) Picture a target. Most networking sites start from the outer ring (visible to everyone) and work their way in (only a few can see it) with privacy. Using WOF, you start at the bullseye (only visible to you) and work out from there (greater and greater visibility). This ultimately gives you much greater control over your content.

Q:   How long will Beta last?
A:   We don't know yet. The soonest we expect Beta to end is November 2009, but it could easily be extended well beyond that. So subscribe now and your annual subscription will be much longer then 12 months, for the same low price of $21.99.
