Leicester, Leicestershire

Who an online store suits in Leicester

For Leicester and Leicestershire we focus on independent retailers, trade suppliers and wholesalers, and professional firms, including businesses that sell both to the public and to the trade.

Typical buying journey: A simple retail checkout contrasted with a wholesale catalogue-and-quote journey.

Sectors we are set up to help

  • Independent retail independent shops, boutiques, gift and lifestyle retailers
  • B2B suppliers and manufacturers distributors, manufacturers, trade suppliers and service firms selling to other businesses
  • Professional services accountants, solicitors, consultants, recruiters and agencies

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

Worked example (hypothetical)

Ten simple retail products versus wholesale pricing outside starter scope

A hypothetical Leicester candle maker wants retail sales and wholesale to shops.

  1. 1

    Sell 10 candles through the starter store.

  2. 2

    Keep wholesale to an enquiry form.

  3. 3

    Plan trade pricing later.

  4. 4

    Set UK shipping.

E-commerce website development: questions from Leicester businesses

How much does an online store cost for a Leicester 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 Leicester?

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

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

Sell 10 candles through the starter store. Keep wholesale to an enquiry form. We would measure: retail sales and wholesale enquiries.

Does this suit independent retail firms in Leicester?

Clear product and collection pages, stock and delivery information, and a choice between buying online and reserving or enquiring.

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.
