Abstract:
SMK Spes Patriae Jakarta is a vocational high school (SMK) located in North
Jakarta, Indonesia. This school offers a vocational program, namely Accounting for
Financial Institutions, and Spes Patriae Vocational School has an A accreditation. The
creation of a school website is intended as a means of information and communication
media for students, teachers, parents and the entire community to find out information
about Spes Patriae Vocational School. .
Creating this website using the RAD (Rapid Application Development) method is very
useful and more flexible in the website development process. The RAD method consists
of four stages: requirements planning, user design, construction, and cutover.
The first stage is the needs planning stage, which is carried out by identifying user needs
and creating a school website development plan. At this stage, analysis or input from
teachers and students is needed to determine the required website features and content.
Apart from that, in developing this website there must also be technical planning and
estimates of the costs required to create it, such as website creation service costs,
purchasing domains and hosting.
The second is the user design stage, which has the function of creating a mockup or
prototype of this school's website. This mockup was made with the aim of notifying
users, viewing the website, and getting feedback from users if there are features or user
content that are removed.
The third is the construction stage, which has the benefit of implementing a website
based on a mockup that has been approved by the user. In this stage, the development
of web technology uses several programming languages such as HTML, CSS, PHP,
and the MySQL database.
The last is the cutover stage, which is carried out by officially launching the school
website by purchasing a domain and hosting. In this stage, the final testing is carried
out and a presentation is made to users before it is hosted for the public.
