HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES GROW ONLINE SINCE 2001

Meet The Pixel Fairy

Hello! I’m Marie, aka The Pixel Fairy, a freelance web designer working with businesses and individuals for over twenty years.

Fuelled by endless cups of tea, I work from my home office in South Shields on the beautiful North East coast of England, but I have clients all over the world.

Having started designing websites before the turn of the century, I began working as a freelance designer in 2000 whilst on a sabbatical from my Masters degree to have my daughter; as the years passed I went on to form what would grow to be a successful design and hosting company, Pixel Source.

After a period of immense change in my personal life, in 2013 I left my directorship in the corporate world behind to start this freelance venture and get back to my roots.

At the same time, I also turned a lifelong passion for jewellery making into a second business, Little Magpye, which has continued to go from strength to strength.

Though I am semi-retired from web design, I now specialise in bespoke WordPress website design packages, working mostly with craft and retail businesses in the North East but also further afield.

I’ve helped many crafters and small businesses get established online over the last two decades, including other jewellery designers, personalised gift makers, equine grooms, authors, personal trainers, beauty therapists, landscape gardeners, window cleaners and toy retailers, and more besides.

The last three years have been a time of major upheaval and changes for many small businesses in the UK and beyond, including mine. As demand for web design naturally decreased, I focused more on my jewellery business and on providing one to one web design services for those who still needed me.

Now, demand for my all inclusive packages is returning and it’s time for a fresh outlook for The Pixel Fairy. Two affordable yet comprehensive packages, no jargon, no strings. Why not contact me for a chat about your ideas and my availability?

Not only is Marie talented in creating beautiful websites she also has the patience of a saint; cheerfully explaining how things worked and taking my 'what if's' and 'maybe I should's' in her stride. She understands how small businesses work and the type of constraints they are under, her websites are quick and easy to use which is a godsend when you have to do everything yourself. Worth having a browse through her portfolio to see for yourself what value for money you get.
