E-commerce Website Development for Edinburgh Businesses
Shopify and WooCommerce stores for Edinburgh businesses, with an honest line between what a starter store handles and what needs a quote. Small stores from £799.
For Edinburgh we focus on professional and financial service firms, training providers, and hospitality and visitor businesses whose demand changes with the season.
Typical buying journey: Consultation and booking requirements, trust evidence and seasonal campaign planning.
Sectors we are set up to help
Professional servicesaccountants, solicitors, consultants, recruiters and agencies
Hospitality and venuesrestaurants, cafes, venues, event spaces and caterers
Training and coursestraining providers, course creators, coaching and professional-development firms
These are sectors where our existing work transfers well, not a claim that we already have clients in each one in Edinburgh. We work remotely; this is a service area, not an office.

E-commerce website development: questions from Edinburgh businesses
How much does an online store cost for a Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh?
No. UpStream is a UAE-registered agency that works with Edinburgh businesses remotely, by video call and email. Edinburgh is a service area for us, not an office address.
How would this work for a business like the example on this page?
Sell vouchers through the starter store. Keep the existing booking engine. We would measure: voucher sales.
Does this suit professional services firms in Edinburgh?
The site has to prove expertise quickly: clear service pages per specialism, people and credentials, fees or a fee guide, and an enquiry form that asks the right qualifying questions.
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.
