DANIA, FL – Alec Bradley Cigars, makers of the highly-acclaimed Tempus and Maxx cigar selections, have just "re-blended" their website. The new site,
AlecBradley.com, offers a more functional look and feel, making it easy for cigar smokers to navigate and find the information they want on everything Alec Bradley.
When you land on AlecBradley.com, the pages glow with a crimson and black color scheme that's free of clutter, and clearly expresses the Alec Bradley attitude and lifestyle.
The site doesn't overdo it with bells and whistles, either. Essentially, all of the website's sections appear in one place below a rotating "banner-style" slide show. Images, from extreme close-ups of Alec Bradley Tempus cigar bands, to lush tobacco fields and curing barns, cross-fade over each other accompanied by words that reflect the Alec Bradley vision: "Quality," "Tradition," and "Elegance."
The site is built in eight primary sections: Cigars, Ratings, Press Box, Retailer Search, Calendar, Videos, Download Center, and Shameless Promotional Gear.
Clicking on the Cigars tab displays a page showing a row of cigars, each representing a different Alec Bradley line extension, such as Tempus, Maxx, Occidental Reserve, Trilogy, etc. Clicking on a cigar takes you to that brand's information page. Below a description of the brand is a brief slide show displaying the frontmarks and packaging. The page also includes complete blend information, and an illustrated size chart.
Other pages of interest include the Press Box which displays a list of links to past and present Alec Bradley media coverage. A Retailer Search page, where cigar smokers can find a cigar store that sells Alec Bradley cigars within 250 miles of their zip code. Links are also included to online cigar retailers. The Calendar page opens a month-by-month calendar with links to cigar stores where events and deals on Alec Bradley cigars are being promoted. Pictures from past Alec Bradley events are also available. The Download Center features beautiful photographs of lush tobacco fields, curing barns that can be downloaded as wallpaper, or mailed out as postcards. Visitors can also signup to receive an Alec Bradley newsletter with the latest updates on brand promotions, cigar ratings, and more.
Finally, there is a Partners page with links to those who have co-promoted events with Alec Bradley Cigars, among which include Nespresso, Hublot, Iriarte Photography, and JAZZIZ Bistro.
"We're proud of the personal relationship we've built with our customers," said Alec Bradley president, Alan Rubin. "The site is designed to serve the interests of the Alec Bradley faithful, while attracting a new wave of Alec Bradley cigar smokers."
