One of the things that really struck me about the Ekklesia 360 site, other than the great usability and look, was the step-by-step video for adding a sermon to your site. It was fast, easy and provided flexibility for the user. This is the only program that hits every point on the list- from web standards, SEO friendly URLs, templates, custom designs, to member manager, blogging, worship/song module, ecommerce and many more… As far as examples of their work- cream of the crop! The sites are organized, contain every feature you would need and want, and they have a clean, professional, timeless look. Ekklesia 360 works with various design firms to make sure that your site provides an accurate representation of your ministry.

Does anybody know if the Ekklesia 360 CMS integrates with the ACS Technologies operational modules? It seems to me that the ACS Technologies program is founded more from a financial management software background with lots of cool packages and modules that handle many other parts of church management besides their website CMS. Ekklesia, however, seems to be much more focused on website CMS alone. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? Has anyone integrated the two?
Dan,
Even ACS does not really integrate with itself. Extend (web CMS) is just for websites. Access is the web based version of their desktop financial and member management system. You can set up a LINK from one to the other (Extend to Access), but then you are delivered to the Access system. They run independently of each other. So, you can log into Access from any browser with the address, or you can get to it from an HTML website or anyone’s CMS. It’s just a link to another web-based software, not an integrated system.
How much does it more or less cost?
