FAQs for the AAFP Medfusion Program

Q1. How do I access the Site Maker again to add or make changes to my content?
A1. Go to https://medfusion.net/sitemaker/index.cfm and login using the user ID and password you chose when you created your account.

Q2. Am I able to format the text in my content areas?
A2. Yes. The easy to use toolbar above the text area allows you to make many changes to your Web site without knowledge of HTML. Among other things, you can add bulleted lists, bold, underline, and italicize text, and control the alignment of the text. Roll your mouse over the buttons on the toolbar to see what each button does.

Q3. What will happen to my current Web address (domain name)?
A3. The visitors to your old site will be redirected to your new site for the next six to nine months once you publish it; you can update your Web address on your next order of any printed materials during that time.

Q4. Why did only one physician's information transfer over to the Medfusion Site Maker?
A4. This Web site offering was targeted by way of your individual AAFP membership; you can select a group practice domain name, and enter the other physicians and staff over the next 30 days free of charge.

Q5. Do I get a second chance at the free content management trial after the 30 days are over?
A5. Yes. After your initial free 30 day trial of content management, members will also receive a free 7 day trial of the content management solution for your site available once each year. You may contact Medfusion for access to your 7 day trial anytime during the year. Contact us at aafp@medfusion.net or toll free 877-599-5123.

Q6. Which browser do you recommend for optimal access to the Content Management Solution features?
A6. Medfusion's AAFP Site Maker runs optimally on an Internet Explorer browser. For example, Netscape browser will not display all the editor features such as our MS Word Toolbar on the Content Editor boxes.

Q7. Is this program free? Are there any costs involved?
A7. The program is a free Web site program that includes such features as:
  • choice of three graphical templates
  • any available domain name hosted at xxxxx.familydoctors.net
  • unlimited content management for the first 30 days after conversion
  • an additional 7 days per year of free content management
