This study aims to design and develop a web- and mobile-based application using the User-Centered Design (UCD) approach to produce a system that truly fits user needs and preferences. The UCD method was applied through several stages, including user and context identification, needs analysis, solution design, and iterative evaluation of the developed prototype. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires administered to various users within Don Bosco Sumba BLK. The findings show that the implementation of the UCD method improved usability, streamlined administrative processes, and enhanced user satisfaction with the developed system. Therefore, the development of this UCD-based application not only supports the improvement of service quality but also strengthens the effectiveness of training management at Don Bosco Sumba BLK. The implications of this study highlight the importance of applying a user-centered approach in the development of information systems within the vocational training sector.

The on-demand economy has transformed consumer expectations, demanding fast, transparent, and efficient services. However, the MSME printing sector in Indonesia is often still hampered by manual processes that cannot meet these demands. This research aims to design and validate an on-demand printing service platform interface that acts as a digital bridge between customer demand and MSME production capacity. Using a User-Centered Design (UCD) methodology, a high-fidelity interactive prototype was designed and validated through usability testing with 20 respondents. The test results demonstrated excellent usability, with an average task completion rate of 93%, an overall relative efficiency of 91.4%, and a user satisfaction score of 88%. These results validate that the platform design focusing on instant ordering flows, real-time price calculation, and a job management dashboard for service providers successfully creates an effective and satisfying user experience. The implication of this research is a validated platform model that can serve as a catalyst for printing MSMEs to adapt to the on-demand economy, increase their competitiveness, and participate in the broader digital ecosystem.

This study explores the aesthetic experience and user perception resulting from the use of minimalism in contemporary web design. As minimalism continues to shape modern digital aesthetics, understanding how users emotionally and cognitively engage with minimalist interfaces becomes increasingly relevant. The research aims to identify how visual simplicity, functional clarity, and negative space contribute to user satisfaction and usability. Employing a mixed-method approach, including user testing and surveys with a sample of 60 participants, this study evaluates responses to minimalist and non-minimalist website prototypes. The findings reveal that minimalist design enhances perceived elegance and ease of navigation, while also increasing the sense of trust and professionalism. However, the absence of visual cues can challenge some users in completing complex tasks. These insights highlight the importance of balancing visual simplicity with user guidance to optimize user experience. This research contributes to the evolving discourse on digital aesthetics and provides practical implications for designers seeking to integrate minimalist principles without compromising functionality.

Mobile-first optimization became a central focus, given that 72.2% of users prefer accessing the platform through mobile devices. This research contributes to the development of the UCD model for digital platforms in Indonesia and provides practical guidelines for user-centered interface development. The study's limitations include a small sample size and a geographically focused scope, suggesting opportunities for future research with a larger scale..

Abstrak –  Penggunaan website sebagai identitas dari suatu perusahaan saat ini sudah umum dilakukan suatu organisasi atau lembaga. Klinik Pratama Dr Jo adalah salah satu perusahaan yang menggunakan website untuk memperjelas identitas perusahaan, disamping fungsi lainnya seperti fungsi pendaftaran online. Namun dari hasil analisa awal, tampilan website tidak memenuhi standard beberapa aturan desain yang ada, mulai dari pengambilan warna yang kurang menegaskan identitas, serta tidak terdapatnya kontras pada warna sehingga beberapa aktivitas juga menjadi sulit untuk dimengerti pengguna. Pengambilan data dari pengguna dengan metode System Usability Scale (SUS) diperoleh skor website 41,83 dengan grade F, rating poor, dan memiliki tingkat penerimaan not acceptable. Untuk itulah penelitian ini melakukan perancangan ulang desain aplikasi menggunakan metode User Centered Design, yaitu perancangan dengan mengutamakan pengguna sebagai pusat dari penelitian. Setelah dilakukan perancangan ulang, pengambilan data dengan metode SUS menghasilkan skor 88,16 dengan grade A dan rating excellent yang berarti bahwa aplikasi memiliki tingkat penerimaan yang baik atau acceptable.
