HSC — $1 CUSTOMER INFO HUB PROJECT
I’m selecting one suitable New Zealand small business and building it a custom, mobile-friendly Customer Info Hub for NZ$1.
A focused one-page business website designed to make it easier for customers to understand what you do, find the important information and take the next step.
Applications close 8:00 PM NZDT, Thursday 15 October 2026.
What you get
A Customer Info Hub is intentionally focused. It gives customers the essential information they need without turning a simple business website into a large, expensive project.
The detailed scope and limits are set out in the project terms and confirmed in writing before work begins.
Why $1?
I want to take one real New Zealand small-business project from its current online presence through to a finished Customer Info Hub and document the work properly.
Rather than building a fictional demo, I’d rather put the work into a real business where a focused website can make a visible difference.
No hidden subscription
The selected project includes 30 days of HSC-managed hosting and basic launch support.
After that, you can arrange alternative hosting or a reasonable handover, or voluntarily continue with HSC Website Care. No paid plan starts automatically.
Project fit
If your existing website is already doing its job well, you probably do not need this project.
How selection works
Tell me briefly about the business, any domain you already have, and what you would most like to improve.
This is not a random draw. I’m looking for a project where a focused one-page site is a strong practical fit.
I contact the preferred applicant privately first to confirm scope, content, timing and any domain or technical access needed before anything is announced.
Questions
Yes. The selected business will pay NZ$1 for the agreed Customer Info Hub build. HighStakes Creative normally offers this service from NZ$550. Domain registration and renewal charges, if needed, are separate.

No. One suitable business will be selected based on project fit. Likes, shares and follower numbers do not affect the decision.
No. The project may suit businesses with no website, a weak or outdated website, or a domain that is not currently being used effectively.
No. If the selected business does not have a domain, HighStakes Creative can help select and technically connect a suitable one. The business registers it directly in its own name and account and pays the registration and renewal charges separately. The project can proceed only if a suitable domain can be secured.
No. The build includes 30 days of HSC-managed hosting and basic launch support. After that you can arrange your own hosting or handover, or choose to continue with HSC Website Care. No paid plan starts automatically.
Timing is agreed for the selected project. After checking capacity and receiving the required information, assets and access arrangements, I’ll confirm the start date and estimated launch date in writing. There is no standard fixed build period or promise of an immediate start after selection.
For 30 days from the agreed launch date, HSC provides managed hosting and email support for launch-related technical issues. HSC fixes faults in its own implementation. For third-party form-service failures, hosting outages or client changes, HSC investigates and explains the options without guaranteeing a fix outside its control. New content, redesigns and additional functionality are not included.
Yes. The project is intended for suitable New Zealand small businesses, not Auckland only.
The $1 project is specifically for a focused one-page Customer Info Hub. If your requirements are materially larger, this particular project is unlikely to be the right fit.
