About us
Tēnā koe hello!
Good work deserves good websites. We're the two humans behind Goodness. Here's our story, our kaupapa, and why we turn digital frowns upside down.
Good work deserves good websites. We're the two humans behind Goodness. Here's our story, our kaupapa, and why we turn digital frowns upside down.
Our storyWe're Matthew and Harrison, two humans passionate about great design, captivating stories and purpose-driven movements. While co-founding and running our nonprofit Youth Arts New Zealand over the past seven years, we got to know many organisations that had incredible stories, but lacked the resources to share these with the world.
We started Goodness Digital, the friendliest digital agency in the world*, to pair great design with your own stories, creating a digital home for you and your community to be proud of. With experience across all aspects of the nonprofit, social enterprise and community development worlds, we know the right questions to ask and how to create something you're proud of. Get in touch to see how we can create Goodness together!

What we believeNo jargon, no ego, just a handful of principles that shape every project we take on.
We work with people doing good in the world. If your kaupapa puts purpose first, we're already on the same page.
The process should feel as good as the result. Same-day replies, plain language, and genuinely kind humans on the other end.
Design carries the story, not the other way around. We start with what you have to say, then build a home worthy of it.
Sites that load fast, feel right, and you can update yourselves, long after we've waved goodbye.
