FAQ
Q: Is it really worth it? Is WordPress actually better?
A: In most cases — yes, making the switch is definitely worth it. WordPress offers far greater flexibility, customization options, and scalability compared to Google Sites. Whether you need advanced design features, integration with third-party tools, SEO optimization, or the ability to grow your site over time — WordPress provides the tools to do it all.
While Google Sites is simple and suitable for basic needs, it comes with many limitations in terms of design freedom, functionality, and long-term growth. WordPress, on the other hand, gives you full control over your website’s structure, design, and features.
If you’re considering alternatives, it’s worth noting that WordPress is widely regarded as one of the best alternatives to Google Sites, offering a professional and scalable solution for almost any kind of website.

Q: How long does it usually take to migrate a website to WordPress?
A: A complete migration—including design, text, and images—typically takes 5–7 business days. However, the exact duration depends on your site’s size and complexity.
- Small sites (up to 10 pages): around 5 business days
- Medium sites (20–30 pages): up to 10 business days
Q: Will my new WordPress website accurately replicate the old Google Sites site?
A: My goal is always to recreate your website as faithfully as possible. However, there may be certain elements or design features from Google Sites that cannot be replicated exactly in WordPress due to platform differences.
That said, I always discuss all critical components of your site with you before starting the project, to ensure that all essential content and functionality are transferred accurately.

Q: Does my domain name stay the same after the website transfer?
A: Yes, your domain name will remain the same after moving to your new WordPress website. To connect the domain, there are two main options: either update the name servers through your domain registrar’s dashboard or transfer the domain to your new hosting provider.
Q: Once your work is done, can I independently make changes to my new WordPress website?
A: Absolutely. You’ll have full control over your new WordPress website and can make changes whenever you like. WordPress is a user-friendly content management system (CMS), so you won’t need extensive technical knowledge to update content, add pages, or adjust the design.
Plus, there’s no need to worry about accidentally breaking something — automatic backups make it easy to restore your site if needed.
And if you ever need assistance with more complex changes that require technical skills, you’re always welcome to reach out. I’ll be happy to help.

Is there a Google Sites migration tool or converter that can automate the process of moving a site to WordPress?”
A: There are some tools that can help move content from Google Sites to WordPress, but the process is not fully automatic. These tools may transfer text, images, and basic pages, but layouts and advanced features often need to be recreated manually. In most cases, you’ll still need to adjust the structure, menus, and design yourself. So while migration tools can save time, expect some hands-on work to get your WordPress site looking and working the way you want.
