Director of Worship & Media Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Premiere Choice for Church Web Development" July 12, 2023 5.0 Pros After some experience with other web platforms (wix, Squarespace, Clover Sites, etc.) Nucleus Web has consistently provided the best possible product, especially with their new Web2 platform, they've developed amazing new tools that help with not only creating a highly-customizable website, but also a website that can be easily managed by a team of people -all with different levels of permissions. The quality of the output vs. the ease of use for a volunteer team makes this product a no brainer for almost any church. Cons I have had very VERY few frustrations with Nucleus, their support team is out-of-this-world and they have treated our church in particular extremely well. I've never felt let down by the team, but the only thing that has consistently irritated me about the product is a lack of integrations with other software platforms, such as Planning Center or Mailchimp, specifically in the area of people/database management. For now at least, those three platforms exist separately and maintain their own people databases without syncing across, which causes a lot of extra work for church communications to make sure that everyone is included in an email campaign or to ensure we have someone's correct contact info.

Ministry & Marketing Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A no-brainer for churches with limited resources" February 4, 2020 5.0 We had multiple problems we were trying to solve when looking for a website. We needed an easy to use yet robust site builder. We needed something that integrated with Planning Center. We needed something that looks beautiful, is easy to use, is easy to keep updated, and is priced well. Nucleus met and exceeded all of these needs. In addition their incredibly friendly customer support, regular updates, and extensive library of helpful videos and articles help us to feel like we're not doing this alone. They care about our church website as much as (maybe more than!) we do. We are raving fans of Nucleus and it's family of products. They consistently make moves that prove they are not just a company with a bottom line. They are people who care, really care, about the church staff and attendees they serve and they will even sacrifice profit if they can provide a better product or better support to their customers. Everyone on our church staff knows \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] by first name only as we're constantly discussing and implementing his advice and actually seeing results. Nucleus is the best, and we hope to be with them for a long, long time. Pros Easy to use yet robust site builder. Integrates with Planning Center. Looks beautiful with design that's hard to mess up. Easy to browse, easy to keep updated, and priced extremely well. Incredibly friendly customer support, regular updates, and extensive library of helpful videos and articles. Cons There's honestly not much not to like about Nucleus. The framework allows for tons of flexibility. Whenever there is a problem customer support is quick to help. Feedback and suggestions get worked into updates.

Some of the other companies and a very "salesey" approach that was a huge turnoff. The team and Nucleus treated every custom like a friend. It doesn't come across as cheesy, but sincere.

Your church will only benefit in the investment!! Pros Nucleus is by far the best all encompassing easy to use website builder for your church. It creates beautiful websites, you don’t need a degree in website building to create, yet the features built within the system create beautiful and attractive webpages. Cons I can’t think of a negative aspect of Nucleus! Review Source AG Adduono G. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Gold Standard for Digital Church Strategy" July 10, 2023 5.0 Pros First is their philosophy. Everything they do is based on research and accurate data. They pivot when the data changes and they communicate the “why” with excellence. This makes for excellent customer service. I have never worked with a better team of people. Every company band organization is going to have an issue arise. Nucleus also goes above and beyond to resolve any issues we’ve had. And believe me, they have been minor and minimal. Finally, the product. There is nothing quite like Nucleus and no digital church company more generous. While they make a product and run a business, it is kingdom first, always. Cons The cost can be a bit of a stretch for us as a church of 60 people but their generosity and scholarship have made it possible. Getting in in their early pricing has also made the goal more accessible.

July 10, 2023 5.0 It has simple and easy flows for guest to work through and if easy to navigate. I believe this is incredible important to keep people coming back to us our website over and over again. Pros Nucleus was easy to integrate and use for our team of volunteers. This is so important for us being a small church. I would highly recommend this to any church both small or large. Cons So far I have not found anything that I dislike about nucleus. It is a great platform! Alternatives considered [Subsplash](https://www.capterra.com/p/177932/Subsplash/) Reason for choosing Nucleus We actually looked at tons of different options but landed on nucleus do the ease of use and integration. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) We needed a product our volunteers could use and the previous admin had created out last site and it had gotten out of date and hard to use. Review Source AM Aaron M. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quality Website Design" July 10, 2023 5.0 Pros I chose Nucleus over many other well known website creators. Using Nucleus is a must in my opinion for smaller churches. With the ease of creating a website without coding background, it provides a sleek website that is easy to manage. Cons I can’t think of anything negative to say about Nucleus. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) There isn’t a church focus. It doesn’t make sense for churches to use because the features don’t align with church needs. Review Source eL emily L. Creative Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Nucleus is and exciting update for our church" July 11, 2023 5.0 I really like it although I'm still in the set-up stage. Pros I love how fast and mobile-first the platform is. I have used everything ( I mean everything ) for our church site, Every platform you can imagine and yet my expectations have always fallen a little flat. Nucleus has so much of the ease of use, customization, photo filters and galleries that I have been looking for with an added prayer wall that works and the "flows" for communication and quick navigation of our views to get exactly where they want and quickly! The flows are the most exciting feature for me and even though I am still in the trial I am looking forward to working with Nucleus for our church long-term. Cons I love so much about the site but a few features I wish you had were: More 1-click themes that include global styling, RSS feed for podcasts, and maybe I missed it since I'm still setting up but a great looking video page for our sermons that will automatically update from youtube and a good live section for our broadcast.

Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Every church needs Nucleus " July 10, 2023 5.0 Pros The Nucleus Platform is one of the easiest things to use. The products they offer and the price of the products can't be beat Cons There honestly are no cons. The products are that good. Review Source DY Dillon Y. Youth and Media Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worth it for every size of church " July 10, 2023 5.0 I have loved it since day 1. Support has always been there when I needed it. Building a new page takes so much less time than it would with my old website provider. Pros The ease and ability to create a beautiful website without needing experts in the church. Small churches/church plants don’t always have someone like that available. Cons Honestly, there’s just SO MUCH they do that it’s hard to keep up with the newest update or feature. What a great problem to have. Review Source AP Andrew P. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Huge Help for Small Churches" July 11, 2023 5.0 Nucleus is providing us with ability to have a church website and member portal that goes beyond what we could accomplish with other platforms for the size of our church. We are a small congregation of about 60-80 people and Nucleus is allowing us to have a greater impact while stewarding our resources wisely. Pros Customer ServiceEase of UseCombining of multiple services especially websiteInnovative approachTransparent leadership Cons I would love to see the ChMs side continue to grow to include things like volunteer scheduling and check ins for church programs and events.

Highly recommended for churches both large and small! Pros I love how the team at nucleus have developed a product that is easy to use and maintain. Even a novice like me now has a professional looking online presence that communicates to our community. Cons There is nothing to not like. We are so happy we decided to engage and work with the nucleus team. Reason for choosing Nucleus Better customer engagement and the products appealed more. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) This was a better all in one package for my church. Review Source CB Carla B. Secretary/Admin Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nucleus is the best Church Website platform!" February 7, 2020 5.0 One of the best experience with Nucleus has been the ability to create a form for people to respond & sign up for events, etc. We also like that it allowed us to create a one-stop site for people to connect with us and us with them. Pros I like the way the end product looks: we have a functional website that is easy for people to navigate and find out the information they are looking for. The card-based design results in a very user-friendly and device-adaptable format. It is adaptable to almost any situation that we need to either post information or to gather responses. Nucleus is easy to learn to use, and the customer support is fantastic. They are always right there to help us solve a technical issue. We are charter 'members', and have loved it from Day 1. Cons I don't like that I can't use the Sermon Engine (Library) locations as the link to a Sermon Page/Card - I have to store the audio file off site, copy/paste that URL, etc. Since Sermon Engine is a direct upload of the audio file, why can't it be the source on a Sermon Card. When I post the weekly sermon, it involves creating 3 different web pages: the storage website, the Nucleus Sermon Card, and the Nucleus Sermon Engine. Watching for better integration in the future. Review Source Daniel C. Director of Communications Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clean, simple websites for churches large and small" February 11, 2021 5.0 When it came time to redesign our website, I did a lot of research. I had heard of Nucleus, so I looked into what it offered. I decided to give it a try and have not regretted that decision. I had a lot of pages to rebuild when switching over, and it was done in way less time that it would have been done on other editors. The pages that Nucleus creates are clean, modern, and feature only what you need. And the fact that it is designed mobile-first means that it is future-proof in this digital age! Pros Nucleus is incredibly easy to use. The interface is clean and straightforward, and putting pages together is quick and painless! Cons There are features that more full-fledged website management software offers, but Nucleus is always iterating, and they have many more features planned that have been requested by users! Review Source CS Christopher S. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### " Nucleus is great for churches and easy for small churches " July 10, 2023 5.0 Customer service has been 100%! Pros I like the ease of use that has always been a part of Nucleus. Transitioning to 2.0, I decided to take advantage of the Nucleus Universe. After answering some basic questions and uploading some images from our church, the Nucleus team is setting up all the rest. I think it’s a great value for a small/medium church. Cons Nucleus is a great all around product. The only con has been waiting for Nuc 2.

Youth Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Church related software & support that is ahead of it's time." February 6, 2020 4.0 Before we joined Nucleus, our website was a static page that hadn't been updated in 5 years. There was no reason for our own members to ever check in because nothing ever changed. It was effective at one thing though, creating a sad first impression for newcomers looking for a church home. We will never know how many people came to our old website and were quickly turned away due to outdated information and stock photos. Nucleus has been a breath of fresh air. Pros The simplicity is unbeatable. For the price, there is nothing like it. I am one of 2 staff members at a small rural church with little to no budget for anything website or media related. The services which Nucleus offers are constantly improving. Not to mention their incredibly friendly and effective staff that are there to help you every step of the way. Cons There are of course downsides to any software. The main thing I have seen is the trade-off of creative freedom in the formatting on the part of the administrator. In other website builders, you will have countless templates, where currently there is only one format for your Nucleus site. This is a minor downside when you consider the clean, modern, and simple user experience. Something that is missing from most church websites.

Review Source JB Josh B. Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Above and beyond" July 12, 2023 5.0 Pros Nucleus is the real deal! Their easy-to-use website builder, unlimited video library, and follow-up system called "flows" have completely transformed our church's digital presence. They've made it a breeze to upload sermons, engage with our congregation, and create an impressive online platform. We're beyond thrilled with Nucleus and their exceptional services. Cons They are rocking the stage there is hardly any competitors. Nucleus for the win Review Source JS Joshua S. Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nucleus is a Game Changer" July 11, 2023 5.0 Nucleus has improved the look and feel of our site, and has drastically improved the ease of use for the end user..which has translated to more people interacting with the site and engaging in meaningful ways. Pros Nucleus has been phenomenal. Our site functions incredibly and looks fantastic. It has improved our user experience and increased our engagement tremendously. Also, the team behind Nucleus has been wonderful to work with, and is super responsive when I have questions or encounter challenges. Game changer! Do it! Cons I wish there was more to do with the people management side of the product, however, it seems Nucleus is constantly innovating, so...not sure if this will always be the case. Review Source Jennifer S. Communications & Technology Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Watch your church engagement go through the roof!" February 6, 2020 5.0 We replaced our mobile app with Nucleus as soon as it launched because it better fit our mission of being a church for those not here yet. The mobile app required an installation...um...not guest-friendly! Our engagement and signups are through the roof and we use a lot less paper. Cannot recommend Nucleus enough...for any size church! Pros Nucleus makes it so easy to keep all next steps information at the fingertips of our congregation. Engagement and signups are through the roof! Cons I don't understand this question... Reason for choosing Nucleus Price, ease of use, functionality, customer support Review Source EM Ed M. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best in the business - consistently saves us time and money - more of a partner to us" July 10, 2023 5.0 website, online giving, donor management Pros We started with Nucleus as a website management product. Then when they moved to online giving, they saved us so much money - the change paid for itself and the other products many times over. Cons This is not really a negative because they haven't promised this as a feature. I wish it were also our Church Management System. They are so good at the other products I can only imagine they would be the best in business at this as well. Review Source ML Mike L. Media Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Website Builder for Churches" July 10, 2023 5.0 Their team is fantastic, and they know what makes a church tick. The website builder allows you to craft a website that looks great and serves both members and newcomers well. Pros Easy to learn and train new volunteers on. Cons Nucleus 2 Web is still under development, so there are a lot of features missing still - but it's certainly at a place where you could run a production live site successfully. Review Source RV Richard V. Website Admin Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Platform for Churches" July 10, 2023 5.0 I love it! Pros It’s designed with churches in mind. There are other platforms who give the ability to create websites, but are not tailored for the church context. Nucleus does it. Cons Might not be for someone who wants to create a custom website from scratch and have total control over the backend code. Alternatives considered [Sharefaith Presenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/171070/Sharefaith-Presenter/) Reason for choosing Nucleus The Nucleus Team’s approach. They first researched on what a website means for a church, what works and doesn’t, and then built Nucleus.

Not only do I get a response usually within a hour, it is fixed right away and they are able to help and get me on my way. Cons I it would integrate more with Planning Center. Since we use PCO people database, I don’t want to make our people have to create a second account on Nucleus and we have to manage them on two platforms. Review Source KD Kris D. Office Administrator & Communications Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple is best!" February 7, 2020 5.0 Fantastic! Excellent customer support with great response times! Pros This platform has reduced all the technical and complications that you can come across on other web platforms like this. It is easy to create a website that everyone will love! And you don't need previous web design experience! Cons If there were anything that I could change it would be the following: 1) multiple logins and different permission levels available for different members of the team, 2) schedule event cards to be archived so that I wouldn't have to go and manually do so every time an event is over, 3) An easy way for event organizers to track signups at a glance without having to login. These things are minor and if I know the Nucleus team, they are already working on improving their platform in many different ways! Review Source HM Hardison M. N/A Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Making a Volunteer Look Like Full-Time Staff" February 4, 2020 5.0 Pros Nucleus makes professional appearance take seconds. In a rapidly growing church plant of 300, we need a robust system, but don’t have the ability to have dedicated staff. Nucleus allows my time as a volunteer to create a beautiful and powerful website. The integrations work flawlessly allowing max flexibility. Aside from the phenomenal website capabilities, the media provided allows our reach to exceed far what we could have ever imagined. Cons I have yet to find anything I don’t love about nucleus Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing Nucleus After using squarespace at our supporting church, it seemed like an obvious decision to stick with them. However, nucleus provided a system better suited for our ministry as it contained the necessities of a church website within itself opposed to having tons of extras added to make squarespace viable for our needs Review Source GH Greg H. Tech Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well thought our website for churches" July 10, 2023 5.0 Nucleus has made my job administering our church website much easier why still minting a quality website. Pros Beautiful and functional websites for churches that have a great user experience and church staff can't mess it up. Cons I'm still on version 1 of the product and there is no SEO options, but I think they may have addressed that in version 2 that just launched. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Nucleus I loved their approach to the user experience and that you can't break the design. Switched from [Joomla](https://www.capterra.com/p/161648/Joomla/) I didn't have time to keep up with all the security and version updates. Review Source Similar Products Featured
