This weekend a handful of the Southpoint team put their Saturday chores on hold to get their geek on at this year’s Web Afternoon at the Imperial Theater.

Web Afternoon, a mini-event for people who love the web, featured speakers from leaders in our field. Talks on everything from design education to best practices in email campaigns kept us engaged throughout the day. By the end of the day, we had eaten some fantastic ice cream, gained a few more “web smarts” and even come away with a good bit of nerdy web swag!

As if that weren’t exciting enough, we also toured our new Augusta office located on the ground floor of Enterprise Mill. After a tour of the historic property we all visited downtown Augusta and enjoyed giant burgers from Farmhaus Burgers. We love our new Augusta digs and are excited to be the newest part of the Augusta web scene!

Southpoint Media is a web design firm founded in 2004 by Brad Morrison, a technology entrepreneur with more than 15 years experience in the industry. This new office will be Southpoint Media’s second location, and is their first outside of the firm’s Savannah home on Broughton Street.

“Augusta is an emerging high-tech hub and we wanted to be here,” said Morrison. “We see a lot of energy and talent in Augusta, and see a tremendous opportunity to help small business owners promote and grow their companies.”

Southpoint Media specializes in building websites for small and medium-sized businesses, using the WordPress content management system.

“WordPress lets us build sites that are customized for each client, but which are affordable to develop, and can be launched quickly,” Morrison added. “We understand the needs of small businesses, and how important it is for them to have reliable tools and people they can talk to for support.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at the Enterprise Mill, an historical residential and office complex located alongside the Augusta Canal. Built in 1848 and restored in the 1990s, the Enterprise Mill is home to a number of professional and high tech businesses. “We think this is the perfect location for our new office, right in the center of Augusta’s redevelopment,” said Morrison.

Southpoint Media is a leading web design and development company with offices in Savannah and Augusta, Georgia. Founded in 2004, Southpoint Media employs ten talented professionals and serves over 500 businesses and non-profits across the Southeast.
