Summary: WordPress to Google Sites Migration Service SafeSwitch provides a specialised migration service to transfer your WordPress website to Google Sites. We securely move your content, blog posts, and SEO settings from WordPress (WP) to Google's maintenance-free platform, eliminating hosting fees, security risks, and plugin updates.
Is Your WordPress Site a Business Asset or a Liability?
For years, WordPress was the default choice. It promised freedom and power. But in 2026, for the average small business owner, that promise has turned into a burden.
If you dread logging into your website dashboard because you fear seeing 15 pending plugin updates—or worse, a "Critical Error" screen—you are caught in the WordPress Maintenance Trap.
You didn't start a business to become a part-time systems administrator. You started it to serve your customers. It’s time to move your digital presence to a platform that works for you, not the other way around.

The Google Sites Paradigm Shift: "Set It and Forget It"
Moving from WordPress to Google Sites isn't just changing hosts; it's changing your entire relationship with your website technology.
WordPress is a "Project": It requires constant tending, patching, and paid support to stay secure and functional.
Google Sites is "Infrastructure": It is a native part of the Google Workspace ecosystem.1 It doesn't need updating any more than your Gmail or Google Drive does.
When you make the SafeSwitch, you trade complexity for clarity. You stop worrying about the technology and start focusing on your message.
Are you stuck in the WordPress Loop of constant updates, broken layouts, and expensive developer fees? This comparison illustrates the stark difference between managing technical debt on WordPress versus the "Google Sites Freedom Loop," where integrated tools and zero maintenance allow you to focus purely on business growth.
Why WordPress Users Are Switching in 2026
The migration trend isn't just about ease of use; it's about fundamental business metrics: Security, Cost, and Speed.
Why Google Sites is More Secure than WordPress
WordPress is open-source, making it the #1 target for hackers. 90% of WordPress vulnerabilities come from third-party plugins. If you miss an update for a contact form plugin you installed three years ago, your entire client database could be exposed.
The Google Advantage: Google Sites is a "closed system." There are no third-party plugins to hack. Your site is protected by the same enterprise-grade security shield that guards Google's own servers.
Cost Comparison: WordPress Hosting vs. Free Google Sites
WordPress itself is free, but running it professionally can be expensive. The "hidden tax" of WordPress drains thousands from small businesses every year.
Managed Hosting: £25–£60/month for decent speed.
Premium Plugins: £100–£300/year for necessary security and SEO tools.
Developer "Rescue" Fees: £75+/hour when an update goes wrong.
The Google Advantage: Google Sites hosting, SSL security, and unlimited bandwidth are permanently £0.
3. Speed and Core Web Vitals
Google demands speed. WordPress sites often become bloated with unused CSS and Javascript from varying plugins, slowing down mobile load times and hurting your search rankings The Google Advantage: Google Sites are "lean" by default. They are hosted on Google’s Global Edge Network and are optimized to pass Core Web Vitals right out of the box.
The SafeSwitch Method: Moving Without the Mess
The biggest fear WordPress users have is losing their hard-earned SEO rankings during a move. We specialise in high-stakes migrations. Our process ensures your digital reputation is preserved:

Conclusion: Take Back Control
You shouldn't need a computer science degree (or a developer on retainer) just to update your business hours. Moving to Google Sites is more than a technical migration; it’s a declaration of independence from technical debt. Let SafeSwitch handle the heavy lifting so you can get back to running your business.
