They set up a website and they asked me to change the DNS. I changed the DNS to their specs and got a 404 page. So the DNS appeared to be working but the hosting was not ready. I did the email/chat with Support and they said check the DNS and send us a copy. Did they not read my report or know how to use nslookup? I did some hunting around and found the necessary setting to get rid of the 404 page on our website and get it working. Clearly the website was not ready for the DNS swing.

To clarify, I am not involved in the website itself and know nothing of the arrangements referenced in the reply. I am an IT guy who was sent instructions to swing the domain. So a disclaimer: My comments above reflect my opinions only based on the experience I had. It in no way reflects on the church's web team and their experience or opinions of Nucleus.

Reply from Nucleus - The Premium Church Website Builder

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you had a frustrating experience.

For context: we provided your church with a free website build, then shared detailed instructions for connecting your custom domain. Since DNS records are managed through your domain host (not our platform), we're unable to make those changes directly. We responded quickly when you reached out about the 404 error and offered further assistance, but didn't hear back from you.

We're glad you were able to resolve the issue! DNS troubleshooting sometimes requires back-and-forth communication since it's outside our direct control, but the good news is this is a one-time setup - you won't need to deal with it again.

We appreciate your business and hope you're enjoying your new Nucleus site.

Nucleus is the real deal

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.

The Premiere Choice for Church Web Development

PROFESSIONAL LOOK & FEEL: nucleus is polished and doesn't give you a website that looks like it was made in your grandma's kitchen.

USABILITY: your grandma could use this in her kitchen. Difficult to mess up: see above.

WORLD CLASS SUPPORT: I've never left a conversation with the nucleus team feeling unhappy.

A must for every small to midsize church.

Their vision and how the integrate practicality for the church to do it's mission well is phenomenal. They are visionaries and will leave a mark for the Kingdom. Not only is the price point extremely affordable for a church plant like us, but we have been pleasantly surprised with the ease of use but the overall quality of the platform. I've recommended Nucleus to every church planter I've been connected with. Can't recommend them enough.

Nucleus is worth it

Nucleus made building our church website simple and straightforward. Not only that but the website looks great, meets our needs, and has all the functionality we need to grow into the future. Combined with their online giving platform the Nucleus ecosystem will be able to sustain our church’s online presence and activity for years to come. Their vast support network of videos, articles, user community, and phenomenal customer support team are immensely helpful and even give inspiration on new ways to creatively use these products resulting in even more bang for your buck. As churches navigate the biggest shift in communication in the past 500 years Nucleus makes the path forward clear and exciting.

THE BEST all-in-one suite of website, social media, donation management products (+ beyond) around!

The Nucleus suite of products are the best around — clean, sleek, incredibly easy to use. And the Nucleus team is top notch — knowledgeable and personable, and walked alongside us every step of the way as my previous church set up and utilized various Nucleus products. Incredibly grateful for products and companies like Nucleus.

You owe yourself the administrative relief that Nucleus provides.

Nucleus is a dream for busy church staff (or volunteers) who tend to wear multiple hats. Not only that, they excel at having their finger on the pulse of the end users. Their philosophy and implementation prioritizes spiritual development of Christ followers outside of the Sunday gathering. It truly feels like they are our partners in ministry.

I love Nucleus

I love Nucleus. I have used every web builder for our church website and I always feel like something is missing. Nucleus is still growing, that's obvious, but I am really excited about the fast-speed of the site, the flows for communication, the prayer wall and the overall friendly and easy to navigate style.

I love using Nucleus

I love using Nucleus! It's such a game-changer for us. It brings so many benefits that make our lives easier and help us connect better with our congregation. It simplifies tasks and automates stuff like organizing next steps with Flows. And no coding or technical skills needed to do it. The interface is user-friendly, and the customizable sections make our website redesign look amazing. Plus, we can send targeted emails to specific groups with Messages, keeping everyone in the loop. Also Nucleus Giving makes collecting donations so easy.

We needed a website tool that was easy for our small team to manage but looks visually appealing. Nucleus is the perfect tool to keep our budget low, users happy, and our staff loves the convenience. They provide tons of tools and guidance on how to maximize which I love as a volunteer.

Nucleus Web: A Game-Changer

I've been a loyal user of Nucleus for several years, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with their services. When I first stumbled upon Nucleus, it wasn't the product that initially caught my attention, as there was no product to speak of then. Instead, it was Brady Shearer's captivating podcast, where he shared invaluable insights on how churches could effectively adapt to "the biggest communication shift in 500 years." Listening to his podcast, ProChurchTools, became an absolute must for me.

Brady's unwavering passion, commitment, and integrity won me over, and I felt compelled to trust him and his vision for Nucleus Web. Let me assure you that trust has paid off immensely. Nucleus Web is a remarkable product that not only meets but surpasses expectations. The recent ground-up rebuild has taken it to new heights, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

One aspect that sets Nucleus apart is its approach to giving back. Unlike other platforms, Nucleus Give doesn't participate in RevShare yet functions flawlessly, which speaks volumes about the company's integrity and dedication to providing an exceptional user experience.

When building premium websites for small and mid-size churches, Nucleus is unparalleled. Not only can you trust them to deliver on their promise, but you can also trust Brady Shearer as the CEO of this excellent website company. His leadership and expertise are second to none.

Believe me when I say that choosing Nucleus will not leave you disappointed. From their outstanding product to their exceptional CEO, they have truly earned my highest recommendation.

Robust and accessible products for churches

Our church switched to Nucleus for our website and to begin online giving a little over a year ago. Their products are robust, yet accessible for people who don't have tons of experience in the digital realm. The customer service is excellent, and you can tell they love the company and do quality work because of that! Nucleus feels like a company I can trust to help our church navigate a way forward through technology.
