Brighton, Brighton and Hove

Who an online store suits in Brighton

For Brighton and Hove we focus on creative studios, independent retailers and hospitality businesses.

Typical buying journey: Visual project proof, simple shop journeys and booking-led examples.

Sectors we are set up to help

  • Creative studios design studios, photographers, video producers and creative agencies
  • Independent retail independent shops, boutiques, gift and lifestyle retailers
  • Hospitality and venues restaurants, cafes, venues, event spaces and caterers

These are sectors where our existing work transfers well, not a claim that we already have clients in each one in Brighton. We work remotely; this is a service area, not an office.

E-commerce website development: questions from Brighton businesses

How much does an online store cost for a Brighton business?

From £799, one-off. The price is the same anywhere in the UK. Third-party costs are always separate.

Do you have an office in Brighton?

No. UpStream is a UAE-registered agency that works with Brighton businesses remotely, by video call and email. Brighton is a service area for us, not an office address.

How would this work for a business like the example on this page?

Sell clothes through the starter store. Keep appointments to a booking tool. We would measure: sales and appointments.

Does this suit creative studios firms in Brighton?

A curated portfolio that tells the story of each project, then leads to a structured brief covering budget, deadline, usage rights and deliverables.

Shopify or WooCommerce?

Shopify suits most new stores; WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress or with unusual product rules. We recommend one in writing after seeing your catalogue.
