User Interface Redesign Of Hidayatul Falah Islamic Boarding School Profile Website Based On User-Centered Design With System Usability Scale Evaluation

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has encouraged educational institutions to provide information that is easily accessible and usable by a wide range of users. However, in practice, users still encounter obstacles when attempting to find the information they need through Islamic boarding school websites, which serve as the primary source of information. These obstacles include insufficiently intuitive navigation, poorly organized content structures, and suboptimal usability aspects. This study aims to implement the User centered design (UCD) method in redesigning the layout and appearance of the Islamic boarding school Hidayatul Falah website in order to meet user needs more effectively. The research process encompasses four main stages, namely the analysis of usage context, identification of user needs, design solution development, and design evaluation. The application of the UCD method produced a number of significant improvements, including enhancements to the navigation structure, more systematically grouped information, and greater interface consistency. Testing results using the System usability scale (SUS) instrument yielded an average score of 86, which falls into the "Excellent" category. These results demonstrate that the proposed design possesses a high level of usability and is capable of significantly improving the overall user experience.
