186 Light – Website Development & Growth Partnership Proposal My name is Richard Muirhead and I am the founder of 186 Light Ltd, a specialist decorative lighting business focused on supplying some of the world’s most respected architectural and decorative lighting brands through a premium e-commerce platform. I am seeking a WordPress/WooCommerce developer, digital growth specialist, or technical business partner who is willing to become involved in the business on a performance and profit-share basis rather than through traditional upfront payment. About Me I have spent more than 20 years working within the lighting and built environment sectors and hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Light and Lighting from The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Throughout my career I have worked on some of the most prestigious projects in the UK and internationally, including: * Tower Bridge * National Gallery * National Portrait Gallery * The Louvre Museum, Paris * Harrods * Somerset House * Buckingham Palace * 30 Grosvenor Square * Various high-end hospitality and private member club developments My background is not simply in lighting products but in specification sales, project delivery, account management and relationship building with architects, designers, developers and end users. About 186 Light 186 Light has been created to become a curated online destination for premium decorative lighting. Unlike many online lighting retailers that attempt to sell thousands of products from hundreds of manufacturers, 186 Light is focused on partnering only with industry-leading and historically influential lighting brands. The objective is to create a clean, premium, design-led online experience that reflects the quality of the manufacturers represented. The business model combines: * E-commerce sales * Interior designer relationships * Architectural specification sales * Trade accounts * High-value project opportunities This approach creates multiple revenue streams rather than relying solely on online retail transactions. Existing Brand Partnerships I am not approaching this as a concept or idea. The business already has genuine manufacturer relationships. Current and confirmed partnerships include: * Artemide * Louis Poulsen Additional manufacturer discussions are ongoing, including: * FLOS * Other premium European decorative lighting brands This means product supply, manufacturer support and industry credibility already exist. Current Situation The business has been self-funded to date. I have invested substantial time, effort and resources into securing manufacturer agreements, developing the business model, establishing supplier relationships and beginning the website build. However, I do not currently have the capital available to fund a full-scale website development project through traditional agency routes. Quotes received have ranged from £18,000 to £25,000+ which is simply not achievable at this stage. Instead, I am looking for an entrepreneurial developer or agency that sees the long-term value of becoming involved in a growing specialist business. Existing Website The website already exists and is running on: * WordPress * WooCommerce * Elementor * Rank Math SEO Domain: [login to view URL] The Artemide supplier page has already been developed as the visual benchmark for the entire site. The overall aesthetic direction is: * Premium * Minimalist * Luxury * Architectural * Design-led * Fast loading * Mobile optimised What Needs To Be Done The website requires completion and ongoing management. Key tasks include: Website Architecture * Complete website structure * Create supplier landing pages * Build category pages * Build product templates * Optimise navigation * Improve user journey * Create filtering system WooCommerce Development * Product import systems * Product variation management * Pricing structure * Trade account functionality * Quote request functionality * Delivery configuration * Payment gateway optimisation Manufacturer Integration Many manufacturers provide data sheets, product information and image libraries. This information needs to be: * Imported * Structured * Categorised * Optimised for SEO A scalable process is required so additional brands can be added efficiently. Search Engine Optimisation SEO will be critical to the long-term success of the business. Work required includes: * Technical SEO * Product SEO * Schema implementation * Internal linking * Page speed optimisation * Keyword research * Landing page creation * Blog structure * Content strategy The objective is to build long-term organic traffic rather than rely solely on paid advertising. Conversion Optimisation The site should be designed around generating enquiries and sales. This includes: * Lead capture * Call-to-action optimisation * Quote requests * Trade account applications * Email capture * Abandoned basket recovery * Trust-building content AI Integration I want to implement AI-driven tools where appropriate, including: * Product recommendations * Customer assistance * SEO content support * Search enhancement CRM & Marketing Future integration requirements include: * Email marketing * CRM integration * Lead tracking * Customer segmentation * Automated campaigns Ongoing Maintenance I am looking for someone who can remain involved beyond launch. Responsibilities may include: * Website maintenance * Security updates * Product uploads * SEO management * Performance monitoring * Development of new functionality Partnership Opportunity Rather than paying a large upfront development fee, I am looking for a genuine business partner. I am prepared to offer: * Revenue share * Profit share * Equity discussions * Performance-based incentives The exact structure would be agreed together. Examples may include: * Percentage of online sales generated * Percentage of net profits * Milestone-based revenue participation * Long-term equity participation The objective is simple: If the website succeeds, both parties benefit. What I Am Looking For Ideally someone who: * Understands WordPress * Understands WooCommerce * Has SEO experience * Understands UX/UI * Thinks commercially * Wants to build a long-term asset * Is interested in becoming part of the business rather than simply supplying services Why This Opportunity Is Different Many start-ups have ideas but no market access. Many developers build websites for businesses that never gain traction. 186 Light already has: * Real manufacturer partnerships * Industry credibility * 20 years of sector experience * Existing project opportunities * Professional network within architecture and design * Established business structure * Existing website foundation What is needed now is the right technical partner to complete and grow the platform. I am not looking for a freelancer who simply wants to complete a project and move on. I am looking for someone who believes in building a business together and sharing in its future success. If you have strong WordPress, WooCommerce, SEO and digital growth experience and are interested in a partnership-based arrangement where your contribution is rewarded through revenue and profit participation, I would be very interested in discussing how we can work together.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I see you're looking to set up a WordPress e-commerce site for 186 Light. This is an exciting project, and I understand that getting the site to attract and retain customers is key. One common challenge with e-commerce sites is integrating the backend systems smoothly while ensuring the user experience is seamless. Another issue is often related to tracking user interactions accurately with tools like Google Analytics, which is crucial for optimizing conversions. My approach would be to first ensure the site is user-friendly, focusing on intuitive navigation and clear product displays. I’ll integrate the necessary tools like Mailchimp for email campaigns and set up Google Analytics correctly from the start, so you can track performance effectively. To get started, I’d like to know more about any specific features you have in mind for the e-commerce functionality. Also, do you have an existing brand style guide or preferences for the design? Looking forward to collaborating on this.

I’m comfortable with WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor, Rank Math, PHP/HTML, GA4, Mailchimp/CRM integrations, product SEO, schema, speed optimisation, quote/trade account flows, and ongoing technical maintenance. I’d start by auditing the existing site, using the Artemide page as the design benchmark, then building supplier pages, templates, navigation, filtering, SEO structure, and conversion features in clear milestones. I’m open to discussing a performance/profit-share structure where responsibilities, ownership, IP, revenue share and success metrics are clearly agreed upfront. Qasar

Hi, I can build your WooCommerce lighting site into a premium scalable conversion focused platform. I reviewed your WooCommerce Elementor site, Rank Math setup and Artemide partnership, and improved WooCommerce speed from 8s to under 2s load time. I will restructure product architecture, trade and quote flows, and SEO driven onboarding so new lighting brands scale without rework. Should the first focus be conversion optimisation or supplier data automation? Best Regards, Fizza Nadeem K

Premium WordPress/WooCommerce partnership for 186 Light I will build a fast, design-led e-commerce experience focused on premium brands like Artemide and Louis Poulsen, with complete supplier landing pages and a scalable product template system. I will implement a clean HTML foundation, integrate Mailchimp for designer communications, customize PHP templates for product variations and trade accounts, and set up Google Analytics for precise ROI tracking. The site will be optimized for SEO with Rank Math, fast loading, and a clear user journey to drive inquiries and high-value sales. Key deliverables include import of manufacturer data, robust filtering, trade quote requests, delivery configuration, and secure checkout. AI features for product recommendations and on-site support will be considered later. This is a genuine long-term partnership with revenue and profit sharing aligned to success. For an early ROI target, would you prefer a phased rollout focusing on trade accounts with a custom pricing tier or a consumer path with premium content, and what success metrics would you assign to each path in the first 90 days?

Richard, what stands out here isn’t the website itself—it’s that you already have the hard part most e-commerce startups never get: credible supplier relationships and access to a niche market that values trust over price. If I were stepping into this today, I’d start by turning the Artemide page into a reusable WooCommerce/Elementor framework so every future brand can be onboarded through a consistent process rather than built manually. Next, I’d focus on product data structure, filtering, trade accounts, and quote requests, because architects and designers rarely purchase the same way retail customers do. From there, technical SEO, schema, internal linking, and manufacturer content workflows become part of the publishing process instead of a separate task later. One improvement I’d push early is treating project enquiries and trade applications as first-class conversion paths, not secondary CTAs. Those opportunities will likely outperform standard product sales. I’d be interested in discussing the partnership model further and reviewing where the current build stands before deciding the best path forward.
