Web Design Across Cheshire

Forty Miles West is a web design agency based in Macclesfield, serving businesses across Cheshire. From Cheshire East through to Chester and the Wirral, we design and build bespoke websites that help local companies compete online against larger competitors with bigger budgets.

Cheshire has a thriving business community — from professional services firms in Wilmslow and Knutsford to manufacturing companies in Crewe and Northwich. Each business has different needs, different audiences, and different goals. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every project starts with understanding your specific situation and building something that works for you.

Why Cheshire Businesses Work With Us

The web design market in Cheshire is crowded. You can find agencies offering template-based sites for a few hundred pounds, or Manchester-based firms charging enterprise rates. We sit in a different space entirely: genuinely bespoke web design and development at fair, transparent prices, delivered by people who understand the Cheshire market.

We are not reselling WordPress themes or using drag-and-drop builders. Every site we produce is hand-coded, performance-optimised, and built on modern technology. Whether that means a headless CMS with Strapi and Astro, a custom WordPress build, or a full web application — we choose the right tools for each project.

Serving the Whole of Cheshire

Our office is in Macclesfield, but we work with businesses across the county. We have built websites for companies in Wilmslow, Knutsford, Alderley Edge, Congleton, Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Northwich, and Chester. For most clients in Cheshire, we are a short drive away for face-to-face meetings when they matter.

That said, most of our day-to-day communication happens through video calls, email, and shared project boards. Geography should not limit your options when choosing a web design partner — quality of work and communication should.

Modern Web Development for Modern Businesses

The web has moved on from static brochure sites. Your website needs to work hard: generating leads, supporting your sales process, and reflecting the quality of your business. We build with that mindset.

Our technical approach prioritises performance (sub-2-second load times), accessibility (WCAG compliance), and search engine visibility (technical SEO built in from the start). We also build automated workflows that connect your website to your CRM, email platform, and other business tools — so your site becomes an active part of how your company operates.

Hosting and Ongoing Support

We do not build websites and disappear. Every site we deliver comes with managed hosting on our own infrastructure, with daily backups, SSL certificates, security monitoring, and proactive updates. When something needs changing, you have a direct line to the people who built it.

For Cheshire businesses that need a reliable, technically capable web partner — not just a designer who builds something and moves on — we are here for the long term.
