Challenges
Akama Group, a fresh face in the cigar accessories market, approached Web Loft Designs with a classic startup challenge: establishing their brand online from scratch. Their mission is to catch the attention of cigar enthusiasts - specifically, 40-something gentlemen with a taste for luxury.
With no existing web presence, Akama Group needed a platform to showcase their premium offerings: elegant cutters, top-notch humidifiers, stylish humidors, and lighters that would make any aficionado's eyes light up. But in a market full of established names, to stand out is not an easy task.
Our goal was to create an elegant showcase for Akama Group's products and a seamless path to purchase.
Solutions
Web Loft Designs created a tailored e-commerce solution for Akama Group. Our approach included:
- Building a sleek, professional website that mirrors the premium quality of their products, appealing directly to their sophisticated clientele, with intuitive navigation and a smooth checkout process for better user experience.
- Implementing a robust e-commerce platform (WooCommerce) capable of managing hundreds of products, with flexibility to display various product options. To boost brand visibility, we incorporated SEO best practices and set up a blog for content marketing.
- Responsive design delivering a seamless shopping experience across all devices.
This comprehensive approach not only presents Akama Group's products effectively but also lays the groundwork for building brand awareness and customer loyalty in the competitive cigar accessories market.
Results
Akama Group's new e-commerce website provides a solid foundation for their entry into the cigar accessories market. While it's too early for performance metrics, the site is designed to engage the target demographic effectively. Its intuitive design, seamless shopping experience, and integrated blog are poised to build brand awareness and improve search visibility. The flexible e-commerce platform allows easy inventory management, positioning Akama Group to compete in the premium cigar accessories market. As the site matures, we'll gather data to optimize its performance further.

Over a decade ago, I was introduced to Marina over a training call while in graduate school. At the time, I had just concluded studies in search engine optimization and mobile marketing and commerce. During the training, I was overawe with the custom websites designs and how the needs of the customer were the nucleus to the development process. Websites were custom, not off the shelf, and budget friendly. There were no unforeseen expenditures, and the project management process insured that customers were involved and kept abreast of developments.
When I decided to develop my own e-commerce site, I knew who to phone. I reached into my database, and contacted Marina. Still the pleasant erudite professional, I informed Marina about the requisite.
Paul was the project manager. He did a exceedingly fine job of presiding over the development process. At times, it appeared intimidating. Nevertheless, Marina and Paul were there every step of the way. When there were questions, they had solutions and recommendations.
I could not be more appeased with the final project. For website development, maintenance, and search engine optimization, there is no other company that I would endorse apart from Marina and Webloft Designs. They do not disappoint and I have a custom website that epitomizes the brand.
