The area around Machynlleth.

Machynlleth is a small market town in the Dyfi valley, where Owain Glyndŵr held his parliament and where the Centre for Alternative Technology has drawn environmentally minded residents for decades. It has a strong independent streak, mountain-bike trails on its doorstep and a weekly market. Customers here often care about sustainability and local sourcing, so trades and shops should talk about materials and methods honestly, and cover villages like Pennal and Corris.

Llanidloes (17 miles), Llanfair Caereinion (22 miles) and Newtown (23 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Tywyn (10 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Dolgellau (11 miles), Barmouth (12 miles), Aberystwyth (16 miles) and Harlech (21 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

Inside Machynlleth, the site can name areas such as Derwenlas, Pennal, Corris, Glantwymyn, Eglwys Fach and Llanwrin.

From our base in Exeter, Machynlleth is about 130 miles to the north. Its postcodes start SY.

Questions

Websites in Machynlleth: what people ask

Do you work with businesses in Machynlleth?
Yes. We are based in Exeter, about 130 miles away, and build websites for businesses across the UK by phone, WhatsApp and video call. Nothing goes live until you have approved the design, and two rounds of changes are included.
Are there business figures for Machynlleth on its own?
No. The ONS publishes business counts by council area, and Machynlleth is part of Powys, which it shares with Brecon, Newtown, Welshpool and others. The figures on this page are for the whole council area.
How far is Machynlleth from you?
About 130 miles as the crow flies: Machynlleth is north of Exeter, in the SY postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
What if I work across Machynlleth and nearby towns?
Then the site should say so. Tywyn, Dolgellau, Barmouth and Aberystwyth are the closest places to Machynlleth; tell us which ones you travel to and each gets named plainly.
