Ecommerce Consultant Brighton & Sussex
Practical ecommerce support for UK founders who need someone to step in and actually do the work.
If you're looking for an ecommerce consultant in Brighton, you probably don't need a strategy deck. You need someone who understands how online stores actually run, can spot what's holding yours back, and knows how to fix it. That's what eCommerce Assist does, working directly inside Shopify and WooCommerce to get things moving.
Who This Is For
This is for solo founders and small eCommerce businesses in Brighton, Sussex, and across the UK who want support from someone local, experienced, and actually available. If you've been looking for an ecommerce consultant who gets stuck in rather than handing you a document, this is the right fit.
What an Ecommerce Consultant Actually Does
"Consultant" can mean a lot of things. Here it means hands-on support: reviewing your store, identifying what's not working, and then getting on and fixing it. No long reports, no recommendations you have to implement yourself.
Areas covered:
Store structure, navigation, and customer journey
Product page layout and conversion improvements
Mobile performance and checkout flow
Competitor benchmarking and gap analysis
Platform setup and technical configuration
Email and automation workflows
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
Local, Reliable, and Available During UK Hours
Being based in Hove means I work in the same timezone, understand the UK market, and am easy to reach when something needs attention. No offshore delays, no out-of-hours lag.
Clients across Sussex and the wider UK get the same level of support: consistent, practical, and grounded in what actually works for independent e-commerce stores.
Shopify and WooCommerce, Done Properly
Whether you need a full store audit, a specific fix, or ongoing support to keep things running smoothly, the work is grounded in real platform knowledge, not generic advice.
Most independent store owners in the UK are on Shopify or WooCommerce. Both platforms are capable of a lot, but they're only as good as how they're set up and maintained. I work inside both daily, which means I know where the common issues sit and how to resolve them without unnecessary back-and-forth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ecommerce consultant in Brighton do?
An ecommerce consultant reviews your store, identifies what's underperforming, and helps fix it. At eCommerce Assist, that means working directly inside Shopify or WooCommerce, not just advising from the outside. Support covers store structure, product pages, checkout flow, email, and ongoing VA work.
Do you work with businesses outside Brighton and Sussex?
Yes. Most clients are UK-based but not local. The work is done remotely, so location isn't a barrier. Being UK-based means we're in the same timezone and speak the same market.
Is this consultancy or ongoing VA support?
It can be both. Some clients come for a specific project or store audit, others move onto ongoing monthly support once the initial work is done. We can scope whatever fits your situation.
How is this different from a traditional ecommerce agency?
No account managers, no markups, no teams of people who've never touched a Shopify store. You work directly with Peter, who handles the work himself. It's faster, more personal, and significantly more cost-effective for independent stores.
How quickly can you start?
Depending on current capacity, I can usually start within a week. Get in touch to check availability and talk through what you need. If you've got something urgent, such as a product launch or a site issue that's costing you sales, mention it upfront and I'll do my best to accommodate you quickly.
