Managed platform

When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer

On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.

What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.

What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.

See exactly what is included

New: lead generation

We host it, we optimize it, and now we help bring the leads in

Our lead generation tool, Signal, reads public conversations on Reddit, community forums, YouTube, LinkedIn and X, finds people asking for what you sell, and puts them in your dashboard while the conversation is still live, with a note on why each one is worth a reply. It never posts or messages anyone for you.

An add-on for Growth, Premium and Ultra, not part of the plan price. Your first scan is free. After that it is $20 a scan, or 15 scans for $249/mo.

See how lead generation works

Enterprise is a different process: full custom design, Figma mockups first, and a dedicated project manager from kickoff to launch. See Enterprise, from $999/mo →

Billed monthly (annual optional). Free site build included. See full pricing details →

AI features use AI Credits from your plan’s monthly allowance, and each AI action shows its cost before you run it. Anything you do by hand, without AI, doesn’t use credits. See the AI Credit Schedule.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

What should a cigar lounge website include?

A great cigar lounge website should include: a branded homepage that captures your atmosphere, a humidor showcase with featured inventory, membership tier pages, an age-verification gate, hours and location with an interactive map, staff bios, and a private event or locker inquiry form. An education blog adds ongoing SEO value and presents your team as a knowledgeable voice in your local market. WorkspaceCMS builds all of this into a single fast, polished site.

How do I market a cigar lounge online?

Cigar lounge marketing works best when it combines a technical SEO foundation (built to target 'cigar lounge near me' and similar searches), a high-quality website that reflects the premium nature of your experience, and educational content that gives visitors more reasons to trust you. Social media plays a role, but your website is the anchor. It's where curious visitors become members and where Google sends high-intent searchers. WorkspaceCMS builds and maintains that on-page foundation; it isn't a substitute for a paid rank-improvement campaign.

Can I show my humidor selection on my website?

Yes. We build a dedicated humidor showcase section that lets you feature your inventory (single origins, limited editions, house blends, and rotating selections), with tasting notes, origin details, and pricing if you choose to display it. This content both educates new visitors and gives regulars a reason to check your site between visits. It also creates keyword-rich pages that rank for specific cigar searches in your area.

How do I rank for cigar lounge searches in my area?

Local SEO for cigar lounges centers on three things: a fast, technically sound website; code that signals your business type and location to Google; and consistent signals across your Google Business Profile and site. We also build location-specific page content targeting queries like 'cigar bar in [neighborhood]' and 'humidor selection [city]', searches where local specificity gives you a real edge over national directories.

Can I offer memberships through my website?

Yes. We build dedicated membership tier pages that lay out your benefits, locker access options, pricing, and perks in a clear, persuasive format. For inquiries, we add a structured form that routes to your team. If you want to take payments online, that can be added as a custom-scoped add-on. The goal is to make joining as frictionless as possible, even for members who want to initiate the conversation before committing.

Do I need age verification on my cigar lounge website?

It's a best practice and increasingly expected for any tobacco-related website. An age-gate isn't a legal requirement in all jurisdictions, but it demonstrates responsible operation, protects your business, and sets the right tone for the premium, adults-only experience inside your lounge. WorkspaceCMS builds a branded, compliant age-verification landing page that aligns with your aesthetic rather than looking like a generic warning screen.
