How it works

You describe the change. That's the whole job.

Send it however you like — email, text, a voicemail on the way to a job site. It gets made, checked and published. You get a note back saying it's done.

  • “Add our new location.”
  • “We're hiring.”
  • “Take the holiday hours off.”
  • “Photo of the new truck — use this one.”

  • I can't believe my website was up and running within a day. All I had to do was share my ideas and a few photos — the menu, the order form, the emails to my customers, everything else just appeared. An amazing experience!

  • The ability to send an email with images attached to make a website change is such a lifesaver for us! We do not have any technical staff or anyone who understands HTML/SEO/etc, this process has completely freed us and allowed us to focus on what we do best. Thanks PageTend!

Questions

Questions people ask us.

What does PageTend do?

We build, host and look after websites for small businesses. You send an email or a text when something changes, and we make the change, usually the same day and always within one business day. We can also run your Google Business Profile.

How much does PageTend cost?

A managed website is $99 a month. Adding the Google profile service makes it $149 a month. The Google profile service on its own is $99 a month, plus a one-time $149 setup. Pay for a year up front and you get two months free. See the full pricing.

Does PageTend charge a setup fee?

No. The website has no design fee and no setup fee. The only one-time charge is $149 to set up and clean up your Google Business Profile, and we waive it when you start within 30 days of seeing your site.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. A monthly plan has no minimum term: cancel any time and you simply aren’t billed again. If you prepay for a year you get two months free, and you can still cancel any time to stop the renewal. Because the year is paid up front, it isn’t refunded. Your domain is in your name and goes with you.

How fast does PageTend make changes?

Small changes are done within one business day, and they’re unlimited. You get a note back when it’s live.

Can PageTend manage my Google Business Profile?

Yes. We claim and correct your listing, keep your hours and photos current, reply to every review within two business days, email review requests to your customers, and send you a monthly report. How it works.

What kinds of businesses does PageTend work with?

Small businesses and non-profits of all kinds: restaurants, shops, trades, studios, clinics and schools. If you can describe what you do and who you do it for, we can build your site.

Where is PageTend based, and where do you work?

PageTend is registered in Florida, and we work with small businesses and non-profits all over the United States. Everything happens by email, so it doesn’t matter where you are.

Already have a website?

Bring it over. We'll handle the move.

Maybe the person who built it moved on. Maybe the hours on it have been wrong since spring.

Enter your address. We'll review it and design a brand-new site that works on phones and is set up properly for Google. No obligation to buy.

For cleaners, movers, painters and contractors: send a job photo, and we usually post it the same day.

  • Moving your site is included, with no page limit
  • No old password or old designer needed
  • It only goes live once you approve it
  • Your domain and your content stay yours

Start with your address

We’ll look your site over and build a new one from it.

Not ready to switch? A Storefront Checkup shows what your site and Google listing are costing you. $250, one time.About the checkup

Old site gone stale? No site yet?

How are you managing your website?

Either way, give us the name and the nature of your business and we’ll build a real page and send you the link. If it isn’t right, that’s the end of it.

Free. No card, no call, no obligation.
