Our approach

We don’t start with a pitch deck. We start with a better version.

Goodfront researches established local businesses and turns the opportunity into something tangible. You see the thinking, the direction and the customer experience before the full build begins.

Eric Hintz, founder of Goodfront
Founder

Eric Hintz

Started in HTML at fifteen.

I built my first websites at fifteen, hand-coded HTML for bands and friends. It was fun, it was hard, and I loved it.

Then I walked away from it. I didn't need a website again until I founded visionnonprofit.org, and fell back in love with the craft.

Goodfront is that, made into a practice: research-led rebuilds for established businesses, built properly and handed over completely. Every site I ship, I leave with you.

Ownership

Built for ownership, not dependence.

Built to leave.

We build the system, connect it properly and teach you how it works. Your website, domain, accounts, data and finished content remain yours. Stay in touch because we are useful, not because you are trapped.

  • Your website
  • Your accounts
  • Your domain
  • Your data
  • Your finished content
  • Your documentation
Client workspace

A project dossier, not a dashboard.

Review previews, make decisions, track payments, take ownership.

  • Current stage

    Where the project is, and what happens next.

  • Latest version

    Every preview on desktop and mobile, with what changed.

  • Decision needed

    Design, copy, integration and launch approvals in one place.

  • Ownership checklist

    Handoff tracked item by item until everything is yours.
