Gwynedd

The area around Porthmadog.

Porthmadog grew as a slate port at the end of the Cob embankment, and today it is a busy shopping and tourist town where the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways meet. It serves as the main shopping centre for the area, with Portmeirion and the beaches at Morfa Bychan and Borth-y-Gest nearby. Visitor businesses need to appear for holidaymakers across the area, and trades should cover Tremadog and Penrhyndeudraeth as well.

Inside Gwynedd, the closest places are Criccieth (4 miles), Harlech (5 miles), Blaenau Ffestiniog (9 miles) and Pwllheli (12 miles). A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Inside Porthmadog, the site can name areas such as Tremadog, Morfa Bychan, Borth-y-Gest, Minffordd, Penrhyndeudraeth and Prenteg.

From our base in Exeter, Porthmadog is about 154 miles to the north. Its postcodes start LL.

Questions

Questions from Porthmadog businesses

Can you build a website for a Porthmadog business?
Yes, remotely. We work from Exeter, 154 miles from Porthmadog, and the whole job runs 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 Porthmadog on its own?
Not from the ONS, which counts businesses for Gwynedd as a whole. Porthmadog is one of 13 towns on this site in that council area, so the numbers above are shared with places like Bangor, Gwynedd and Caernarfon.
Where is Porthmadog in relation to Exeter?
About 154 miles as the crow flies: Porthmadog is north of Exeter, in the LL postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
What if I work across Porthmadog and nearby towns?
Then the site should say so. Criccieth, Harlech, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Pwllheli are the closest places to Porthmadog; tell us which ones you travel to and each gets named plainly.
