Built Different, By Design
We're a modern agency that combines human craft with AI-agentic workflows to build digital systems that perform.
Forty Miles West is a web design and development agency based in Macclesfield, Cheshire. We specialise in bespoke websites, web applications, managed hosting, and technical SEO for businesses that want to stand out online.
Founded by Danny Wincott, we combine deep technical expertise with AI-agentic workflows to deliver enterprise-quality digital solutions at a pace and price point that works for SMEs and growing businesses.
We don't do templates. Every project starts with research and strategy, moves through considered design, and lands on clean, performant code that's built to scale. Our clients get a genuine partner who understands both the technology and the business goals behind it.
Whether you need a new website, a complex web application, or someone to take the technical headaches off your plate, we're here to help you build something that performs.
Our Values
The principles that guide every project we take on.
Bespoke, Not Template
Every project is built from scratch. No cookie-cutter themes, no compromises. Your business is unique and your website should be too.
AI-Accelerated
We use AI agentic workflows to accelerate development, not replace human judgment. The result: better quality, faster delivery, lower cost.
Performance First
Speed is not an afterthought. We architect every site for sub-second load times, perfect Core Web Vitals, and top search rankings.
Transparent Partnership
No jargon, no hidden costs, no surprises. We keep you in the loop at every stage and explain things in plain English.
Local Roots, Global Standards
Based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, we bring enterprise-grade quality to businesses of all sizes across the North West and beyond.
