Development of the Mawar Allah Prayer Assembly Website Based on Google Sites as a Digital Information Media to Increase the Existence of Socio-Religious Organizations

Abstract

This study aims to develop the website of the Majelis Do'a Mawar Allah (MDMA) as a digital information media to support the dissemination of organizational information and increase the existence of socio-religious organizations in the digital era. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at the Majelis Do'a Mawar Allah under the Tazkia Psychology Consultation Bureau of UIN Salatiga. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with the organization's founders, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that before the website development, the delivery of organizational information was still carried out conventionally so that information regarding the profile, history, activity agenda, documentation, and member recruitment was not presented in an integrated manner. Based on the needs analysis, the website was developed using the Google Sites platform by applying interface design principles such as the User Interface Golden Rules, F-Pattern, Rule of Thirds, Color Theory, readable web fonts, and design consistency. The resulting website is able to integrate various organizational information in one easily accessible digital platform, increasing the ease of information dissemination, expanding the reach of publications, strengthening the organization's digital identity, and supporting the increased existence of the Majelis Do'a Mawar Allah in the community. The research results show that the use of Google Sites-based websites is an effective solution for socio-religious organizations in optimizing communication and publication of information on an ongoing basis.
