Thanks for all the great content as always! This is how we currently implement these checklist items. 1. We currently don't use info cards but doing that on our beliefs page might look really nice with Squarespace's accordion blocks. 2. Forms are currently linked out to our church database (CCB/Pushpay) or they are in a lightbox when we use a Squarespace form. 3. We use banners for important announcements but not really for events and such since we have a dedicated page for all our events. 4. Our linking to third party sites is for any form and giving. Probably a downside but we don't have a unified website and database where everything can be natively in the site. Might be something to consider next time we are shopping for a new database.

Accordion blocks are a great version of info cards! We do that with our FAQs on our product pages. Saves so much space. Great application of that principle.

Thank you for the gift of the launcher! We are using it with a Sharefaith website. I especially appreciate the banner feature. I used it to promote our Christmas services and, best of all didn't have to remember to edit the Church website once the services were over. Thank you for the great videos and your generosity to the Church :)

[@prochurchtools]

Love that use for banners 👏👏👏

[@peterduke947]

Great tips! Thanks so much for the gift of the launcher too. We've utilized it in our website and its such a great way of helping facilitate those more important next steps!

[@prochurchtools]

You are so welcome!

Love your videos, and thank you for always posting such useful information. Your videos are always very smooth, and I very rarely see where the cuts and splices are. I think it would be very helpful to people to consider making a video about any tips or tricks that help keep recordings consistent enough, to be able to splice them together. Even on this video I saw a few minor zoom changes, or I would have thought it was a one cut shot. However, even with the zoom changes, the audio was seamed together flawlessly! 👍👍👍

[@prochurchtools]

I believe this video was one take for me. If this one wasn’t, that’s no uncommon. Maybe one or two cuts throughout. The zooms and punch ins are simply for variance of the shot to keep things from getting to stagnant.

@@prochurchtools Great job!!

[@castministries]

Thank you, Brady! Great tips.

Pleased to hear it, Jeremy. 🤝

Hi Brady! I just came across your channel and Nucleus, it's amazing what I've seen so far. However, I have a question... Is Nucleus only available in English? Or is there a setting or plugin available to change the language?

[@prochurchtools]

Hey Juan, the vast majority of Nucleus options can be customized to any language. Shoot a message to our team at [e-mail] and we can share some churches using Nucleus in different languages.

[@princeokoroba]

Hi Brady, Thanks for the info. Do you maintain website? We will like our website to look like you described on this video. Thanks!

[@prochurchtools]

Yeah, check out our church website builder at www.nucleus.church

[@SHZA804]

Two questions: Will there be a paid version of the next steps launcher to remove branding, e.g. Powered by Nucleus? We don't use Nucleus, but I see there is a Sign In button. What exactly are users signing into?

[@prochurchtools]

Nucleus Prayer is also a free product from Nucleus: www.nucleus.church/prayer So that’s what the Sign In function is for!

[@FunsizeQue]

Is the launcher compatible with Wix as well?

[@prochurchtools]

Yep! Here’s the install guide for Wix: n2help.nucleus.church/article/1027-install-your-launcher-on-other-websites#wix

[@hope4oc]

What about if you have a menu option "About Us" and under that you have "Core Beliefs". So the Core Beliefs is on a page all by itself as a menu option. What would you recommend in this case?

[@bluecoursecommunitychurch]

Add the information on the About Us page in a manner similar to what Brady suggested. Accordions are a great alternative to info cards. With a bit of "organizing", as Brady put it, you probably don't need that separate page at all. We use accordions for a lot of that heavy text stuff...although I probably should consider reworking our Statement of Faith since right now we send folks to the denominational statement page (we don't use anything different from that). But like Brady indicated, sending folks to another website isn't the ideal experience.

[@prochurchtools]

Blue Course Community Church nailed it!

[@CyLifeChurch]

How do we get the Info card to show up on the page? Still confused, please help!

[@prochurchtools]

There’s a step-by-step on the blog in the article! www.nucleus.church/blog/church-website-organization-checklist/

[@ItMakesSpence]

Wouldn't putting content in info cards have negative SEO consequences?

[@prochurchtools]

SEO is an important consideration. What specifically are you concerned about? In my experience, the average church will see zero ill effect on SEO by not creating pages for events.
