SLIIT Wins Two BestWeb Awards for Higher Education Website

SLIIT has won two honours at the BestWeb.LK 2026 competition: Gold for Best University and Higher Education Institute Website and the category’s Best Mobile User Experience Website award.

The LK Domain Registry’s published winners list identifies www.sliit.lk as the recipient of both awards. The competition recognises websites using Sri Lanka’s .lk domain.

The awards distinguish the institution’s overall website from its performance for users accessing information on mobile devices. According to SLIIT, the assessment covers technical quality, performance, design, content and security.

The institute identifies navigation, accessibility, responsive design, loading performance and the quality of information as factors that shape visitors’ experience. Mobile usability concerns how information is presented and accessed on smaller screens.

SLIIT’s website combines information about programmes, study pathways, research, student life and the institution. Its programme finder enables visitors to explore courses using factors including study area, qualification and location.

These functions provide prospective students and families with a starting point for comparing study options before attending a campus visit. They also allow users to move between course information and other material about the institution.

SLIIT links the recognition to the role its website plays in helping visitors understand available programmes and decide their next steps. The institute describes the website as an early point of contact with prospective students.

The Gold award concerns the website as a whole, while the separate mobile award recognises the experience within the same higher education category. The honours relate to the digital platform rather than an assessment of individual academic programmes.

The recognition comes from the competition organised by the LK Domain Registry, which evaluates websites across several sectors. Within the university and higher education category, SLIIT’s site appears on the published list for both the Gold award and mobile user experience recognition for 2026.
