The Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) has achieved a significant milestone in its digital journey by earning three recognitions at the BestWeb.LK Awards 2026, highlighting the strength of IIT’s digital platforms, user experience, content, technical execution and continuous website development.
The recognitions were awarded to both the official IIT website, iit.ac.lk, and the VisioNEX website, visionex.iit.ac.lk, reflecting the collective contribution of IIT’s management, Marketing, Digital, Creative, IT and Digital and Distance Learning teams, together with developers, designers, content contributors and external technology partners.
The VisioNEX website received a Silver Award in the Educational Category, recognising the platform’s overall digital experience, functionality, content presentation and design.
VisioNEX also received recognition for Best Mobile User Experience, highlighting the importance placed on responsive design, usability and accessibility across mobile devices.
The official IIT website, iit.ac.lk, was awarded Bronze in the Best University & Higher Education Institute Website category, marking another important achievement in IIT’s ongoing digital transformation.
These recognitions demonstrate IIT’s commitment to continuously developing digital platforms that are informative, accessible, user-focused and aligned with the evolving needs of students, parents, academic partners and the wider community.
The BestWeb.LK 2026 recognitions are the result of a collaborative effort involving teams across the wider IIT and Informatics Group ecosystem.
The continued development of IIT’s digital presence has been supported by the leadership of Mohan Fernando, Group Chief Executive Officer, Sudharshan Welihinda, Director and Chief Operating Officer, the Directors of the Informatics Group, and the wider IIT Management Team.
Their support has enabled multiple departments to collaborate on digital transformation, web development, online communication and technology-driven initiatives.
The official IIT website is continuously maintained and improved through the joint contribution of IIT’s IT, Creative, Digital and Marketing teams.
Key contributors include Lochana Koralagedara – IT Team Lead, Chamith Maduranga – Senior Design Lead, Malith Amodya – Digital Marketing, and Sathsindu Induwara – Digital Media, alongside the wider IT, Marketing, Creative, Digital, content, media and communications teams across IIT.
Their collective work spans website infrastructure, technical coordination, visual design, content updates, page improvements, digital media, SEO, website maintenance, mobile optimisation, campaign integration and continuous refinement of the overall user experience.
The IIT IT team, led by Lochana Koralagedara, plays an important role in supporting the technical environment behind IIT’s digital platforms.
The team contributes to website infrastructure, server-related requirements, technical coordination, system stability, troubleshooting and the wider digital infrastructure required to support IIT’s online services.
This technical contribution works closely with the Creative, Digital and Marketing teams to ensure that the platform remains stable, maintainable and responsive to evolving institutional requirements.
The continued development of the IIT website also depends on the contribution of the institute’s Creative, Digital and Marketing teams.
Chamith Maduranga – Senior Design Lead contributes to the visual direction and design consistency of IIT’s digital presence, supporting a coherent and professional visual identity across website pages, campaigns and digital communications.
Malith Amodya – Digital Marketing contributes to the continuous development of the IIT website through content updates, page modifications, theme improvements, SEO enhancements, campaign integration and ongoing website maintenance.
This work includes regularly updating programme and institutional information, improving content structure, refining layouts, maintaining search-friendly content and ensuring that the website evolves alongside IIT’s academic programmes and marketing requirements.
Sathsindu Induwara – Digital Media contributes through digital media, multimedia content and online communication that support IIT’s digital platforms and wider campaigns.
Together with the wider Marketing, Creative and Digital teams, these contributions help ensure that the IIT website remains current, visually consistent, informative and aligned with the needs of prospective students, current students, parents and other stakeholders.
The IIT website continues to evolve as an active digital platform rather than a one-time development project.
IIT’s internal teams regularly update programme information, institutional content, campaign pages, layouts and website sections to ensure that information remains accurate, relevant and easy to access.
Search Engine Optimisation remains an important part of this ongoing development.
The website is continuously improved through areas such as:
This collaborative approach enables IIT to adapt its digital presence as new programmes, events, campaigns and institutional developments are introduced.
The official IIT website has also benefited from its collaboration with Web Lankan, which contributed to the website’s original design, development and layout.
The framework created through this collaboration provided a strong foundation for IIT’s digital presence.
Since implementation, IIT’s internal teams have continued to build on that foundation through technical support, visual refinements, content updates, page modifications, theme improvements, SEO optimisation, campaign integration and ongoing website maintenance.
This combination of external web development expertise from Web Lankan and continuous internal development by IIT’s IT, Creative, Digital and Marketing teams has helped the platform evolve over time.
VisioNEX is led by IIT’s Digital and Distance Learning team, with the platform developed and managed through the combined efforts of programme, technical and digital contributors.
Banu Athuraliya serves as the VisioNEX Coordinator, while Agzianath contributes as the website developer, supported by the wider Digital and Distance Learning team and additional content, design and technical contributors.
The VisioNEX website plays an important role in communicating the initiative to students, schools, parents and the wider community, while supporting the programme’s focus on technology, creativity, innovation and problem-solving.
The platform’s recognition at BestWeb.LK 2026 reflects the combined effort behind its programme coordination, development, content, design and overall digital experience.
As IIT continues to expand its academic programmes, regional presence and digital engagement, its online platforms remain an important part of how the institute communicates with prospective students, current students, parents, industry partners and the wider community.
Websites such as iit.ac.lk and visionex.iit.ac.lk are continuously developed to provide clear information, stronger accessibility, better mobile experiences and a consistent representation of IIT’s academic and institutional identity.
The three recognitions at BestWeb.LK 2026 represent a shared achievement across the organisation.
They reflect the combined contribution of IIT Management, Informatics Group leadership, the IT team led by Lochana Koralagedara, the Creative team represented by Chamith Maduranga, the Digital and Marketing teams including Malith Amodya and Sathsindu Induwara, the wider Marketing and IT teams, the Digital and Distance Learning team, Banu Athuraliya, Agzianath, Web Lankan, designers, developers, content contributors and other supporting teams across IIT.
The achievement provides further motivation for IIT to continue investing in digital innovation and building online experiences that are modern, accessible, informative and valuable to the wider community.
