You do the thing you're brilliant at.

We'll make the business around it work harder.

How?
01

Beautiful.

Look as good as you are.

Branding, websites and creative work that make people stop, notice and feel confident choosing you.

02

Useful.

Get found. Get chosen.

Make it easier for the right people to discover you, understand what you do and take the next step.

03

Clever.

Do more without doing more.

The chasing, replying, reminding and repetitive bits quietly handled in the background.

04

Unmistakably yours.

Because no two businesses work quite the same.

We understand yours first, then build the right combination around it. No generic templates. No one-size-fits-all AI machine.

Something brought you here.

Maybe your business doesn't look as good as it actually is. Maybe someone else keeps getting found first. Or maybe you're doing well — you're just doing far too much of it yourself.

The little leaks add up.

And they're not always obvious.

Doesn't look the part
Competitor found first
Missed call
Slow reply
Forgotten enquiry
Unchased quote
Review never asked for
Booking abandoned
Old customers forgotten
Too much admin

We find the leaks. Then we fix the ones worth fixing.

Sometimes that's a better website. Sometimes it's getting you found on Google. Sometimes it's making sure an enquiry doesn't disappear because you're up a ladder when the phone rings.

Ways in

Where would you like to start?

You might already know what you need. You might not. Either is fine. Pick the one that sounds most like you — or let us look at the lot.

Meet the studio

Hi, I'm Harriet.

I'm a chartered architect turned designer, and I started Sage & Pixie because small businesses deserve better than choosing between something generic and something unnecessarily complicated.

Architecture taught me to look at the whole picture — how things connect, how people move through an experience, and how the practical and the beautiful have to work together.

These days, I put all of that thinking into small businesses instead.

Studio life, more or less.

Built around the bits that matter.

Becoming a mum changed what I wanted work to look like. I wanted to build something brilliant without missing the little milestones, ordinary Tuesdays and everything in between.

Sage & Pixie was built around that idea — that good businesses should work around people's lives, not swallow them whole.

How we actually workTogether, all the way

No big reveal. Just proper collaboration.

No black boxes. No baffling jargon. You'll know what we're doing, why we're doing it and what happens next.

You don't need to know exactly what you need. Tell me about your business, what's working, what's getting in the way and where you'd like to get to.

We look at the whole picture, spot what's getting in the way and work out what would make the biggest difference. Sometimes that's beautiful. Sometimes useful. Sometimes clever. Usually it's a bit of everything.

No disappearing for six weeks and coming back with a grand reveal. You'll see the work early, shape it with me as we go and always know what's happening.

Then we put it to work properly — build it, connect it, test it and tidy the details. And if it needs looking after afterwards, we can do that too.
