Abstract
The development of information technology requires educational institutions to adapt, including in terms of information dissemination and communication. SMK Negeri 1 Siempat Rube does not yet have an official digital platform; therefore, the delivery of information is still carried out manually and is inefficient. This study aims to design and develop a school website as a digital solution. The development method uses the Waterfall model, with stages consisting of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The website is developed using PHP programming language and MySQL database, and runs in the XAMPP environment. The main features include school profile, news, gallery, activity information, and contact page. Testing is conducted using the black-box method and evaluated through user questionnaires. The results show that the website is responsive, easy to use, and effective in supporting communication and information dissemination. The implementation of this website is expected to improve information management efficiency, transparency, and the image of SMK Negeri 1 Siempat Rube as a school that is adaptive to technological developments.
