Meet the Founder

E-commerce Assist was founded by Peter Barbe in Brighton and Hove, with a simple goal: to help e-commerce founders reclaim their time and move their ideas forward. Having built and run e-commerce brands himself, Peter understands how often good ideas stall because there simply isn’t enough time to act on them.

At E-commerce Assist, we help ecommerce businesses turn plans into progress. When founders know what they want to improve but not where to find the hours, we step in to handle the building, fixing, and refining stages. From setting things up properly to making sure changes are implemented correctly, we focus on action rather than intention.

How Ecommerce Assist Works

1. Discovery Call & Task Planning

We start with a short discovery call to understand your e-commerce business, pain points, and the tasks you want support with. Together, we agree priorities, tools, and expectations so everything is clear from day one.

2. Agreement, Access & Setup

Once agreed, we confirm the scope, contract, and working hours. You’ll be added to a shared Trello board where tasks, progress, and updates are organised clearly, with access set up securely.

We get to work straight away, handling tasks efficiently and keeping everything updated in Trello. You receive regular progress updates, clear communication, and flexible support as your business evolves.

3. Execution, Updates & Ongoing Support

Real Work. Real Results.

A closer look at the brands we support, the problems we solve, and the outcomes we help create.

From Idea to Implementation

Founders should be thinking forward, not reacting to unfinished tasks. We take ownership of the build, the refinement, and the technical execution so your projects move consistently and professionally.

Inside our case studies, you will see how we translate strategy into live pages, structured offers, improved customer journeys, and marketing systems that are built to support long term growth.

Execution for Ambitious Brands

You already have the ideas. The roadmap. The strategy.
What you do not have is the time to build landing pages, refine banners, structure bundles, optimise product pages, or implement email campaigns properly.

Our case studies show how we step in as your operational partner, executing the work inside Shopify with precision so your plans move from concept to completion without delay.

E-commerce Assist operates with full professional indemnity and cyber insurance through Hiscox.

We keep our full case studies private to protect client data and performance insights.
