Abstract

Improving the quality of laboratory services in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, one of which is by utilizing information and communication technology or in this study it is called digitization. Digitization is the process of converting information available on paper to a digital format, digitization can be in the form of a website. Utilization of this website will make it easier for students to access the information needed quickly and easily. So far, inventories in analytical and inorganic chemistry laboratories have only been carried out by entering data in a book, and only some of the data has been entered into a simple Excel so it is too complicated and the risk of losing files is very large. Therefore, the use of a centralized website system needs to be done. This study intends to identify the stages involved in creating a website dedicated to the Laboratory of Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry within the Chemistry Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Additionally, it aims to assess user reactions to the website. The research methodology employed is the 4D approach, encompassing the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate phases. The initiation of the website design process entails the incorporation of various features to enhance its visual appeal. These elements are then used as a basis for coding both the website’s menu and content.
