LaPlace, LA — The Port of South Louisiana is pleased to announce the redesign of the website www.portsl.com. With updated features and enhanced navigability, it is set to provide its audience more relevant and accessible information on the activity within the Port of South Louisiana and the River Region.
“Our website has always been an important way for us to share information about the Port of South Louisiana and the resources of the River Region,” said Paul Aucoin, Executive Director of the Port of South Louisiana. “With its new look and improved navigability, it makes it even easier to find everything anyone wants to know about the largest tonnage port in the Western Hemisphere.”
Thanks to Curran & Connors, the revamped site features a modern look with enhanced features, including easier navigation. The new website includes enhanced search capabilities, highlights from the Port and the region, economic development information for potential investors, and numerous resources for site selectors, industry, companies, government officials, and the community.
