Maduro Cigar & Bar
A custom website built from the ground up for a premium cigar lounge in Sarasota.
The Challenge
Maduro previously had a website, but the domain was bought out from under them and the site stopped functioning. Their existing email subscriber list was also difficult to access, tied up with an overseas contact, adding another hurdle to rebuilding their digital presence. They had strong in-person loyalty but nothing online to capture new customers, communicate events, or reflect the quality of the experience inside.
The Approach
Built a brand-new custom website from the ground up designed to match the premium, intimate feel of the physical space. The site needed to earn trust at a glance, communicate the atmosphere, and give regulars and first-time visitors a reason to walk in. I also tracked down and recovered their existing email subscriber list, migrating it into a new Mailchimp program so no past contacts were lost. The site has been live since June 2026, and I continue to manage and maintain both the website and email program on an ongoing basis.
Rocco has been a great asset to Maduro's. He built and manages our website, assists with our email marketing, and has helped strengthen our overall online presence. He's professional, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile.
