Sharing his thoughts during the event, Pradeep Saputhanthri, Secretary to the Prime Minister stated, “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.”

Prof. Gihan Dias, CEO, Domain Registrar, LK Domain Registry

During his speech, LK Domain Registry CEO & Domain Registrar Prof. Gihan Dias commented, “Over 16 years ago, we felt it was important to have something which recognizes who we are on the Internet and also we wanted to recognize 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.”
