Clean, simple websites for churches large and small
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!
- Nucleus is incredibly easy to use
- The interface is clean and straightforward, and putting pages together is quick and painless
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

A no-brainer for churches with limited resources
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.

Elexio was terrible.
Why they chose it
"Nucleus far and above exceeded every requirement for what we needed with a very reasonable price. 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."

A good choice but costly for startups
Nucleus was the first company I used to set up our new ministry website.
- I liked the fact that Nucleus was so easy to set up
- I liked the ease of integrating options within Nucleus
- 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
Why they chose it
"I chose Nucleus because it is specially customized for churches."

The Gold Standard for Digital Church Strategy
Verified reviewer
- 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
- 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

We switched because it was better to have a template that worked with our ministry goals and objectives.
Why they chose it
"Philosophy, customer service and experience, clear communication and transparency."

I love Nucleus!!!
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.
- 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
- So far I have not found anything that I dislike about nucleus
- It is a great platform

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.
Why they chose it
"We actually looked at tons of different options but landed on nucleus do the ease of use and integration."

Quality Website Design
Verified reviewer
- 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
- I can’t think of anything negative to say about Nucleus
Switched From
There isn’t a church focus. It doesn’t make sense for churches to use because the features don’t align with church needs.

Church related software & support that is ahead of it's time.
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.
- 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
- 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
Why they chose it
"Cost, support team, constant updates, ease of use."

Platform for Churches
I love it!
- 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
Might not be for someone who wants to create a custom website from scratch and have total control over the backend code

Not suitable for non technical users
Why they chose it
"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."

Making a Volunteer Look Like Full-Time Staff
Verified reviewer
- 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
- I have yet to find anything I don’t love about nucleus
Why they chose it
"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"
