In one paragraph. Every job is priced by the same rule: the report first, then the parts are counted (pages, products, photos, languages, features, systems), then the price is placed on one scale. Beside the price, tended shows what the same parts cost at published freelance and agency rates, so the number can be weighed against the work. Nothing is charged until the site is live on your own address and you have approved it.

1. The five layers

LayerWhat you gettendedWhere the market sits (2026)
DiagnosisThe full report: your Google listing and reviews against the businesses around you, every page, speed on a phone, five ordinary Google searches read in a real browser, questions put to three AI engines, a written plan, every claim checked by a person$199 once, credited to a build within 90 daysProductised audits $99 to $299; on-page audits $300 to $1,500; agency local-search audits $500 to $5,000
PartsEvery page, product, photo, translation and feature of the new siteInside the buildItemised in section 3
LabourDesign, copy, engineering, checks against Google's own toolsInside the buildFreelancers $65 to $175 an hour (median $85); Las Vegas $75 to $150; agencies $120 to $250
DeliveryLaunch on your domain, every old link redirected, reversible in minutes, nothing charged until live and approvedInside the buildAgencies bill launch inside a 30 to 50 percent deposit
Service planHosting, certificate, backups, content kept in step with the systems you run, the edits you send, a monthly report of calls, directions, searches and reviews$149 a month, no contractCare plans $50 to $150 (mid) and $150 to $500 (premium); search-reporting retainers $500 to $2,000 a month on top

2. The scale

  • Up to twelve pages, no catalog: $2,500. A trade, a clinic, a studio, a restaurant. Written pages, contact, map, hours, forms.
  • A catalog up to 300 products: $3,000. Product and category pages with photos, prices and structured data, search and filters.
  • A store front of 300 to 1,500 products: $3,500 to $4,500 by quantity, photo work and languages. Your cart and checkout stay where they are.
  • Larger, or with systems work (booking, ordering, quoting, a store rebuilt): quoted from the count, scoped with you before anything is agreed.

The $2,500 is a floor, not a starting bid. Below it a job does not cover the person who reads every page, the launch, and the risk tended carries by building before being paid.

3. What the same parts cost elsewhere

Published 2026 rates for freelancers, agencies and care plans in the United States. These are the lines an agency invoice is made of; with tended each of them sits inside the build.

PartHow the trade prices itWith tended
Design and build hoursFreelancers $65 to $175 an hour; agencies $120 to $250You pay for the result, not the hours
A page written and set up for search (heading, description, structured data)$150 to $500 per pageEvery page, inside the build
A product carried over$0.20 to $0.80 per item for basic data entry: title, price, one or two imagesWith its photos, facts and structured data, inside the build

4. Three worked examples

JobPartsAt market rates, itemisedAs one agency quotetended
A trade or clinic, ten pages, one language10 written pages, contact and map, forms, speed work, launch$4,000 to $12,000$3,000 to $8,000 (Las Vegas freelancers $1,800 to $5,500; agencies $4,000 to $12,000)$2,500
A catalog of 200 products, one language200 product pages, 20 category pages, 8 written pages, search and filters, speed work, launch$9,000 to $25,000$8,000 to $15,000$3,000
A store front of about 1,200 products, two languages, photos cut out1,200 product pages, 60 category pages, 9 written pages, 40,000 words translated, 1,200 photos cut out, speed work, redirects for every old link$27,000 to $75,000$15,000 to $30,000$3,500 to $4,500

Why the difference: tended's build system produces the pages, translations, cut-outs, structured data and checks, so the hours a person would bill do not exist. The price covers the result and the person who reads every page before it is sent. The same system is why the site is built before you are asked, and why nothing is charged until it is live and you are happy with it.

5. What never changes

  • Nothing is charged for the build until the site is live on your address and you have approved it.
  • Going back is one setting. Your current site, domain and accounts are never touched.
  • $149 a month, month to month, no contract. Leave any time and keep the site as files.
  • Prices exclude taxes that apply. Every quote is written before work is approved. Terms: tended.site/terms.
