Watch your church engagement go through the roof!

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

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

Because an app requires installation which goes against our mission of being a church for those not here yet. It was also hard to update. Nucleus is accessible to anyone and is a snap for even our least tech-savvy staff members to use.

Amazing church software created by church people for church people

I have loved Nucleus from the very start and my love for it continues to grow as well. The Nucleus team offers very quick support and is always very helpful. They also make products that are very easy for volunteers to use and do not require a steep learning curve.

PROS

I personally value the theology and philosophy that Nucleus incorporates into their products. They have concrete reasons why they develop certain features and give church leaders the ability the tools to do carry out their responsibilities simply and effectively.

CONS

Since Nucleus is so simple and effective for church purposes, it would be amazing if they were able to incorporate other aspects of Church Management Software.

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

Wix requires a steep learning curve for volunteers, the prices kept increasing over time, and they recently decreased the amount of media storage on the website builder.

A good choice but costly for startups

Nucleus was the first company I used to set up our new ministry website.

PROS

I liked the fact that Nucleus was so easy to set up. I liked the ease of integrating options within Nucleus.

CONS

The thing that I liked least about Nucleus was the cost. As a small and independent ministry, the cost is everything. Nucleus proveds to be just too expensive for us.

Reason for choosing Nucleus

I chose Nucleus because it is specially customized for churches.

A one stop shop for online engagement

I’ve had such an incredible experience working with the nucleus team and their product. 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.

Well thought our website for churches

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.

Reason for choosing Nucleus

I loved their approach to the user experience and that you can't break the design.

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

I didn't have time to keep up with all the security and version updates.

Making a Volunteer Look Like Full-Time Staff

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

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

Platform for Churches

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.

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.

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

Not suitable for non technical users

Quality Website Design

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.

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

There isn’t a church focus. It doesn’t make sense for churches to use because the features don’t align with church needs.

You owe yourself the administrative relief that Nucleus provides.

Fantastic.

PROS

Cutting edge, user-first experience (for both church members and staff/volunteers). Saves time. Saves money. It just works.

CONS

Would love to see Nucleus play better with other ChMS providers (two-way sync is a big need).

Reason for choosing Nucleus

We new Nucleus was the one. We did not consider other options.

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

Complicated web building experience. Thousands lost to fees per year (from a relatively mild giving provider as far as fees are concerned).

Great Church Website Choice

Our website is better. The value for the money is incredible. The customer service is unmatchable.

PROS

I love how easy it is. I can hand it off to someone with a minimal knowledge and they can build out a web page. Just this week a new team member built a landing page for her new ministry.

CONS

The customization can be limited in service of functionality when compared to something like Divi

Reason for choosing Nucleus

Nucleus won on ease of use and accessibility of customer service.

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

Wordpress has all of the customization but easily gets clunky. It was difficult to train people and our website had become a bit of an albatross

Customer service has been great, informative, and empathetic. The patience and professionalism with troubleshooting along with a great personality makes it welcoming to provide any question big, small, difficult, or easy.

PROS

Perfect for providing the features a church needs for a successful web site and presence.

CONS

Some of the template options seem limited but I’ve seen growth in the platform as it matures from its infancy. The platform keeps improving over the years making the investment worth it every day.

Nucleus is da bomb!

We use Nucleus as our central hub for our business. It is used for all types of communications within our organization. From announcements to reservations to sign-ups to general knowledge. We can even use it as our given platform. (Which the nucleus company made sooooo simple)

PROS

From the moment Nucleus was beginning to roll out, we were on board. It is the perfect solution to incorporate into your business when trying to keep up with today's culture and shift in communications. The plus is that it is easy to use for everyone. From the backend (creating the website) to the front end where are users can easily navigate our website. I love how it is so crisp/clear across all platforms. Finally, we can't say enough about the personal touch. The developers are awesome. If you have a question about anything, their response time is awesome. What company in this day and age, actually responds? Nucleus does. They are one of our team members!

CONS

My own inability to write code. However, if I need one, the team will supply it.

Reason for choosing Nucleus

Use of ease. Cost. What we gambled on was the Nucleus company themselves. They made promises about the product's ease of use and how they would be available to help if needed. They have more than kept their promises. We highly recommend this company just on the fact that they stand behind their word!

Reasons for switching to Nucleus

For product ease. We also wanted a way to communicate with our internal organization as well as our external audience when need be.

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 and exciting update for our church

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.

Nucleus is a Game Changer

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

Nucleus.Church is a NO BRAINER

I am saving SO much time in administering our site. On top of that, our people are connecting and able to maneuver the site and find the forms they are looking for very easily. Also, their HELP section is FILLED with articles that are easy to read and apply regarding troubleshooting. If that doesn't work, their customer service is always there to resolve anything.

PROS

Our Church, Tabernacle of God Church, has been only using Nucleus as our website building since week one of 2020 and I am so upset that we didn't jump on earlier. It is SO easy to set up and it's impossible to mess up. It's looks amazing and works so smooth. Our web engagement and our sign ups for first time guests, events, classes, and programs has DRASTICALLY increased! I've used other Church web builders and Word Press, and neither of them can compare. On top of that, the Sermon Engine, Media Clips and the Social Media Program that comes with Nucleus is just not fare. Nucleus is like the 90's NBA Dream Team dominating competitors!

CONS

It was hard to sell our Church leaders on Nucleus because the company seems "new". Besides that, Nucleus has exceeded my expectations.

Easy.

The best part of Nucleus is that it is starting to move our needed info, our sign-ups, our resources, to our site. Because it's so easy to change quickly, I have often been able to put together a clean and beautiful page at the 11th hour.

PROS

This is crazy easy for anyone to design their website. Content is important, but design, imo, might be more important because good design gets people to your content. Very easy for anyone to go in an edit or change around. Can do advanced widgets easily. Best part - the customer service and help is on point. They are not just prompt and helpful, they can be downright hilarious which turns around a frustrating moment. Customer service that is hilarious? Yup. It's a win.

CONS

I don't like that I cannot geo-tag preventing me to go into some advanced SEO tactics. I don't like that the mobile site utilizes swipe rather than scroll. I wish we could pick.
