LK Domain Registry marked 16 years of the BestWeb.LK Awards, Sri Lanka’s national web competition and the benchmark for digital excellence, at a grand award ceremony held at the Monarch Imperial recently.

The event was graced by the presence of the Chief Guest Secretary to the Prime Minister Pradeep Saputhanthri who presented the Gold, Silver and Bronze awards for Best Overall Websites, while several distinguished guests were also present at the occasion. LK Domain Registry was represented by Chairman Indika De Zoysa and Director, CEO and Domain Registrar Prof. Gihan Dias, together with several other members of the organisation.

During the event, a total of 106 awards were presented across 24 categories, recognising outstanding achievements in Sri Lanka’s digital landscape. The Overall Gold Award was won by homelandsskyline.lk, while parliament.lk was presented with the Overall Silver, and jatholdings.lk received the Overall Bronze. In recognition of their outstanding talent in web development, 3CS was awarded Best Web Developer – Gold, followed by Web Lankan (Pvt) Ltd. with Silver, and Shanika Rajapaksha with Bronze.

Secretary to the Prime Minister Pradeep Saputhanthri said: “Today, a nation’s digital presence often shapes its reputations long before its people have the opportunity to do so. Consider how many important decision we now make before ever speaking to a person. Many of our first interactions now happen through a screen. Every well-designed website contributes not only to an organisation’s reputation but to also how Sri Lanka is experienced by the world. Digital quality is no longer simply a technical matter. It’s an economic advantage, a competitive strength and increasingly a national imperative.”

LK Domain Registry CEO and Domain Registrar Prof. Gihan Dias added: “Over 16 years ago, we felt it was important to have something which recognises who we are on the Internet and also we wanted to recognise those companies or individuals who have come up with excellent websites which are useful, informative and very easy to use. So we came up with this idea of BestWeb.LK Awards. We have been very fortunate to get an experienced panel of judges who have been with us for a long time. Today, we also use a lot of software and a bit of AI to look at your websites and see whether it meets the required standard to be a winner.”
