About

A curated affiliate e-commerce platform built for The Design Craft — a design-forward publication that surfaces beautifully made, thoughtfully sourced products across home, workspace, and lifestyle categories. The app bridges editorial taste with affiliate commerce, turning content into revenue without sacrificing aesthetic integrity.

Revenue model: pure affiliate commerce — every product links out via a tracked affiliate URL. Revenue is generated on click-through purchases. The SEO content ecosystem is the primary organic acquisition channel, funnelling search traffic into product pages.

Core architecture covers four pillars: (1) a public storefront with editorial hero, searchable/filterable product catalogue, full product detail pages, and category collections; (2) an SEO content ecosystem with 8 pre-seeded long-form landing pages targeting high-intent design searches (buying guides, how-to guides, roundups, editorials) with FAQs for rich snippets; (3) a full product management and import system with AI enrichment; and (4) an AI sourcing agent pipeline that identifies product candidates from affiliate networks for admin review.
