BUSINESS SHOWCASE
STORY BY CATHIE BELL
Online and Connecting People
Connections overseas boost the business of IClick, a new Marlborough digital
business, and owner Nishantha Weerasinghe tells Cathie Bell it’s all about
relationships.
Marlborough is well-connected to the rest of the world,
especially given our reliance of export markets for wine,
wood, and farming products. We need to know what
the world wants and how it wants it. The same goes for
relationships, connections between people.
Marlborough is a place of migrants, new residents
bringing new knowledge and new ways of doing things.
The wine industry is just one example. IClick is another
example in the digital technology industry.

Nishantha Weerasinghe is the director of IClick and he
has staff spread between Blenheim, Wellington and Sri
Lanka. The Iclick team has a broad range of experience
and a reputation for successfully delivering on many
projects.
Nishan says they have created everything from single
page websites, all the way to complete e-commerce
solutions, including powerful digital marketing strategies
adapted for each and every customer according to their
need. When you bring your business to IClick and Nishan,
he is interested in you and your business, and works to
build a long-term working relationship.
“We build relationships with businesses, not just
solutions,” says Nishan.
They understand that your website is your shop window
and central to your brand identity, they take the time to
understand your business and create a strategy to fulfill
your commercial objectives. Using tutors based around the world, students can log
in and study a personalised programme with the tutor
of their choice at a time that works for both student and
tutor.
“That’s why so many of our clients have kept coming back
to us over the years,” Nishan says. “From SMEs to very
recognisable brands, we’ve played a crucial role in the
growth of our clients’ online presence and performance.
Our dedicated team has the experience, know-how, and
passion to create an effective, affordable solution for your
business to achieve your corporate goals. Our ongoing
after-sales service will help you to meet your customer
needs throughout the business journey.” “You will experience the latest technology breaking the
barriers of distance and time bringing a convenient factor
for your learning,” Nishan says. “Akoranga has a robust
and thorough screening process for selecting teachers
to ensure you have an excellent selection to meet your
learning needs. Akoranga on demand is a rich learning
experience for students. All our learning materials use
high-end technologies to keep it simple, attractive and
engaged.”
But what really ignites his passion about online
technology is its potential to connect people. And this is
where Akoranga comes in - his special project. Nishan sees Akoranga’s mission as 'making learning
possible' by breaking the barriers and leading the students
to a better future, to achieve his vision of a better
connected and educated world.
Akoranga is a learning platform using modern and friendly
technology that you and or your children can use from
the comfort of your home or office. Initially focussing on
language training, Akoranga brings technology and human
spirits into one platform for advanced learning needs.
“If you are searching for a language learning teacher or
an assistance for any other subject, our well qualified and
experienced teachers are ready to deliver you the best,”
Nishan says.
IClick is a technology company that believes in the
importance of relationships and connectedness in our
modern world. Specializing in software, web and mobile
application development and digital marketing, Nishan’s
team make it easy for you to have the perfect website
or application you need for your business. But they are
also working to use technology to bring the people of the
world closer together and understand each other more.
And that’s well worth supporting.
Akoranga means ‘place of learning’ in Te Reo Māori which
Nishan chose because the platform, while international, is
based in New Zealand.
