# Cigar Lounge Website

> Build a modern cigar lounge website powered by Boxpressd events, reviews, community activity, and business data.

# Cigar Lounge Website Example

This example demonstrates how to build a complete cigar lounge website using the Boxpressd Sites SDK.

The example is based on **The Veranda Cigar Lounge**, a demonstration site created to showcase the capabilities of Boxpressd Sites.

The goal of a lounge website is to:

* Promote upcoming events
* Showcase the lounge atmosphere
* Display reviews and ratings
* Highlight community activity
* Help customers find and visit the location
* Improve local SEO and AI discoverability

***

## Business Context

This example assumes a venue business.

```ts id="3wzl9v" theme={null}
{
  businessType: "venue",
  businessId: "the-veranda"
}
```

Most production websites will use the `BoxpressdProvider` to automatically resolve this context.

## Site Structure

```text id="l3shiw" theme={null}
Homepage
├── Hero
├── Featured Events
├── Review Summary
├── Community Activity

## Homepage

The homepage combines marketing content with dynamic Boxpressd data.

### Featured Events

```tsx id="xxkkr9" theme={null}
<BoxpressdEventList
  status="upcoming"
  limit={3}
/>
```

### Review Summary

```tsx id="k7l4g6" theme={null}
<BoxpressdReviewSummary />
```

### Community Sessions

```tsx id="rjg4jm" theme={null}
<BoxpressdSessionsFeed
  limit={5}
/>
```

### Recent Check-ins

```tsx id="6iywna" theme={null}
<BoxpressdCheckinsFeed
  limit={5}
/>
```

***

## Events Page

Events are often the most frequently updated content on a lounge website.

### Upcoming Events

```tsx id="06bhv3" theme={null}
<BoxpressdEventList
  status="upcoming"
  layout="grid"
/>
```

### Event Calendar

```tsx id="54ojx6" theme={null}
<BoxpressdEventCalendar />
```

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-events.jpg" alt="The Veranda events page" caption="Replace with actual events page screenshot." />

### Event Details

```tsx id="vwxz9l" theme={null}
<EventDetailsModal
  event={event}
  open={open}
  onOpenChange={setOpen}
/>
```

***

## Membership Page

Many lounges offer memberships and loyalty programs.

While membership management may exist outside the SDK, the website can still promote available tiers.

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-membership.jpg" alt="The Veranda membership page" caption="Replace with actual membership page screenshot." />

### Membership Tier Cards

```tsx id="4phtv7" theme={null}
<BoxpressdCard>
  <h3>Gold Membership</h3>
  <p>Monthly locker access and event discounts.</p>
</BoxpressdCard>
```

***

## Locker Page

Locker rentals are a common feature for cigar lounges.

### Future SDK Component

```tsx id="r8ytb0" theme={null}
<LockerAvailabilityGrid />
```

This component is not currently available but represents a future opportunity for the SDK.

***

## Humidor Page

The humidor page showcases the lounge's cigar selection and atmosphere.

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-humidor.jpg" alt="The Veranda humidor page" caption="Replace with actual humidor page screenshot." />

### Walk-In Humidor Feature

```tsx id="x8u7zi" theme={null}
<section>
  <h2>Explore Our Walk-In Humidor</h2>

  <p>
    Browse premium cigars from around the world in our climate-controlled
    humidor.
  </p>
</section>
```

### Future Featured Cigars Component

```tsx id="k09xik" theme={null}
<FeaturedCigars
  limit={8}
/>
```

***

## Community Activity

One of the most powerful features of Boxpressd is real community engagement.

### Smoking Sessions

```tsx id="8r7psg" theme={null}
<BoxpressdSessionsFeed
  limit={10}
  showRatings
/>
```

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-sessions.jpg" alt="The Veranda sessions feed" caption="Replace with actual session feed screenshot." />

### Check-ins

```tsx id="v59mpq" theme={null}
<BoxpressdCheckinsFeed
  limit={10}
/>
```

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-checkins.jpg" alt="The Veranda check-ins feed" caption="Replace with actual check-ins feed screenshot." />

***

## About Page

The About page helps establish the lounge's identity and story.

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-about.jpg" alt="The Veranda about page" caption="Replace with actual about page screenshot." />

Typical content includes:

* Lounge history
* Ownership story
* Community involvement
* Membership information
* Amenities

***

## Contact Page

The contact page combines business information with location details.

### Map

```tsx id="c2g6zi" theme={null}
<BoxpressdMap
  height={500}
  showOverlay
  showDirectionsLink
/>
```

### Contact Information

```tsx id="gz8uj0" theme={null}
<section>
  <h2>Visit The Veranda</h2>

  <p>Address</p>
  <p>Phone Number</p>
  <p>Hours of Operation</p>
</section>
```

<Image src="/images/examples/veranda-contact.jpg" alt="The Veranda contact page" caption="Replace with actual contact page screenshot." />

***

## SEO Strategy

The Veranda uses server-side rendering for content that search engines and AI assistants should understand.

### Events

```tsx id="wp9y1g" theme={null}
const events = await getBoxpressdEvents({
  status: "upcoming",
  limit: 6,
})
```

### Sessions

```tsx id="n9n6ai" theme={null}
const sessions = await getBoxpressdSessions({
  limit: 10,
})
```

### Check-ins

```tsx id="4nctn7" theme={null}
const checkins = await getBoxpressdCheckins({
  limit: 10,
})
```

### Parallel Fetching

```tsx id="n0mnj5" theme={null}
const [events, sessions, checkins] = await Promise.all([
  getBoxpressdEvents({
    status: "upcoming",
    limit: 6,
  }),
  getBoxpressdSessions({
    limit: 10,
  }),
  getBoxpressdCheckins({
    limit: 10,
  }),
])
```

***

## Future Enhancements

Potential future SDK integrations include:

### Featured Cigars

```tsx id="rms22x" theme={null}
<FeaturedCigars
  limit={8}
/>
```

### Membership Plans

```tsx id="hhgvc0" theme={null}
<MembershipPlans />
```

### Locker Availability

```tsx id="0p7j53" theme={null}
<LockerAvailabilityGrid />
```

### Lounge Activity Dashboard

```tsx id="4kv9mj" theme={null}
<LoungeActivityDashboard />
```

### Event Carousel

```tsx id="h6u3q8" theme={null}
<BoxpressdEventCarousel
  status="upcoming"
/>
```

## Why This Pattern Works

A successful lounge website should balance:

* Marketing content
* Community engagement
* Event promotion
* Local SEO
* Business information

The Boxpressd Sites SDK allows developers to build these experiences using a consistent set of reusable components and data APIs.
