Ecommerce Virtual Assistant Brighton for Solo Founders Who Want Their Time Back
Practical Shopify and WooCommerce support for solo founders who are done doing everything themselves.
You know what needs doing. The product descriptions, the inventory updates, the customer emails, the Shopify fixes. The list doesn't shrink, it just moves to tomorrow. An ecommerce virtual assistant takes the operational side off your plate, so you can spend your time on the things only you can do.
Is This You?
You're running an ecommerce store largely on your own. Maybe alongside a day job or a physical shop. You're not short of ideas or drive you're short of time. Good plans keep getting pushed back because the day-to-day keeps pulling you back in.
That's exactly who Ecommerce Assist is built for.
What We Take Off Your Plate
We work inside Shopify and WooCommerce every day, so there's no learning curve and no explaining from scratch. Here's what I typically handle:
Product Listings and Store Updates Writing product descriptions, uploading images, managing variants, updating prices, creating collections, keeping your catalogue clean and consistent.
Customer Emails and Order Management Triaging your inbox, responding to customer queries, chasing orders, handling delivery issues, processing refunds, all handled without needing to ping you for every one.
Store Fixes and Improvements Broken layouts, slow pages, confusing checkout flows, mobile issues, if it's holding customers back, I'll spot it and fix it.
Ongoing Admin and Supplier Coordination Inventory updates, stock alerts, supplier follow-ups, Trello task management, and the general day-to-day that eats hours you don't have.

I'm Peter Barbe, based in Hove, Brighton. Before starting Ecommerce Assist, I built and ran ecommerce brands myself — which means I know exactly what it feels like to have a solid plan and no time to execute it.
That experience is why I can get straight to work on your store without needing everything explained. I've been in the same position. I know which tasks eat your day and which ones move the needle.

How Ecommerce Assist Works
1. Discovery Call & Task Planning
We start with a short call, usually 15 minutes to understand your store, what's on your plate, and where you're losing the most time. We agree on priorities and how we'll work together so everything's clear from the start.
2. Agreement, Access & Setup
Once we're aligned, I'll confirm the scope, working hours, and access. You'll be added to a shared Trello board where every task lives, so you can always see what's in progress and what's done. No chasing required.
I get to work straight away. Tasks are handled efficiently, Trello is kept up to date, and you get regular progress updates. As your store evolves, the support adapts with it, whether that's a one-off project or ongoing weekly hours.
3. Execution, Updates & Ongoing Support
Ready to Hand Over the Day-to-Day?
The first step is a quick call. Tell me what's taking up your time, and I'll tell you exactly how I can help. No obligation, no sales pitch just a straightforward conversation.
