What exactly happens after I pay?

Your site goes live: the .co.nz domain is registered in your name, hosting and SSL are set up, and the site you already previewed becomes your address on the internet. Payment is $419.75 including GST for the year, billed through Stripe's hosted checkout — we never see or store your card details.

What if I want changes to my site during the year?

Email us the change — new hours, new prices, new photos — and we make it. Five updates a year are included in the price. Bigger structural things like extra pages or a store are a different build, which we'll quote honestly through GoDigital if you ever want them.

What happens if I cancel?

Your site simply stops renewing at the end of the paid year — no exit fees, no wind-down charges. The .co.nz domain is registered in your name from day one, so it stays yours and goes with you. Within the first 30 days, cancelling means a full refund of everything you've paid.

Is it really $1 a day forever, or does the price jump at renewal?

It renews at the same $1 a day — $365 + GST a year, $419.75 including GST — and we email you before any renewal. No year-two repricing, no 'introductory rate' games. If that ever changed, you're never locked in: cancel and the domain leaves with you.

Why is the build free? What's in it for you?

Word of mouth is our whole marketing budget. We want the biggest portfolio of small-business websites in New Zealand, and every live site sells the next one for us. Free builds are capped each release — currently 100 sites — because hand-checking every site is real work and we'd rather cap volume than cut corners.

Will you try to upsell me once I'm in?

The $1-a-day site works on its own — it's not a teaser. If you ever need more (extra pages, bookings, a store, marketing), our parent team at GoDigital does that work and will quote it like any job, but nobody rings you selling add-ons. Most customers stay on the one-pager, which is rather the point.

Is onedollar.co.nz legit? Fair question — here's the full picture

The short answer: yes — and you never have to take that on faith, because the model is see it first, free. We build your one-page site, you look at it with no card and no commitment, and only if you love it do you pay $1 a day ($365 + GST a year, $419.75 incl. GST) for the domain, hosting, security, Google and AI-search setup and five updates a year. 30-day full refund, no lock-in, and the domain is registered in your name from day one.

A fair question, so let’s answer all of it

“A whole website for a dollar a day” pattern-matches to too-good-to-be-true, and healthy suspicion is exactly the instinct we’d recommend everywhere else on the internet. So this page does what we’d want any business to do: state the whole deal in plain text, including the catch, and show you how to verify it.

What the deal actually is

The build is free during launch. We design and build a professional one-page site from your business info, written and checked by a person before you ever see it.
You look before you pay. The preview is free — no card, no deposit, no commitment. If it’s not right, you’ve spent two minutes and owe nothing.
$1 a day covers everything. $365 + GST a year ($419.75 incl. GST), billed annually through Stripe. That includes the .co.nz domain (registered in your name, renewals covered while you’re subscribed), fast hosting, SSL and security, Google + AI-search setup, and five content updates a year. Elsewhere those line items commonly add to $2,500+ in year one.
It renews at the same price. We email you before it renews. No year-two surprise is the whole point of the number.

The catch, examined honestly

There is a catch — it’s just scope, not fine print:

It’s one page. The right size for a local business that needs to be found, trusted and contacted — but if you need a store, online bookings or many pages, this isn’t that product, and here’s when a one-pager stops being enough.
Five updates a year, not unlimited. New hours, prices, photos — email us and it’s done. A full redesign every month isn’t in a $365 budget, and we’d rather say so here than surprise you later.
Free builds are capped per release — currently 100 sites — because every site is checked by hand before you see it, and that’s real work we won’t rush. When a release fills, the next one opens; the cap is capacity, not fake scarcity.

Why so cheap (the boring truth)

Word of mouth is our whole marketing budget. We want the biggest portfolio of small-business websites in New Zealand, and every live site sells the next one for us — you get launch pricing, we get a happy business that tells other businesses. Modern hosting also costs very little when sites are built properly, and there’s no office tower in the overheads. A dollar a day covers it. All we ask in return: if you love it, tell another business owner.

The guarantees, word for word

Straight from our guarantee page:

See it first, free. You only pay if you love it.
30-day money-back guarantee. If it’s not right within 30 days, email us and we’ll refund everything you’ve paid. One guarantee per business.
No lock-in. Cancel anytime. Your site simply stops renewing. The .co.nz domain is registered in your name and stays yours.
Renews at the same $1 a day — with an email to you before it does.

That last domain point deserves a highlight, because it’s the thing that actually protects you with any provider: whoever owns the domain owns the relationship. Ours go in your name, so even the worst case — you leave us, we vanish, you outgrow the product — ends with you holding your address.

Who’s behind it

GoDigital — NZ-owned, Auckland-based, with hundreds of NZ small-business sites built. onedollar.co.nz is our launch offer for one-page sites; bigger builds and digital marketing run under GoDigital itself. The wider family includes KiwiAgent.ai (AI phone agents for Kiwi businesses) and SaaSKool (Salesforce consulting across NZ and Australia). Real company, real people, real GST invoices.

How to check us, properly

Don’t trust the pitch — verify the way we’d tell you to verify anyone: the price and inclusions above are the whole deal (pricing details here); the terms and guarantee are public and short enough to actually read; and the strongest check of all is the product itself — ask to see your own site, free. A business confident in its work shows you the work first. That’s the model.
