This study addresses the need for effective digital communication channels at the sub-district level to socialize community empowerment programs. It aims to design and implement a user-friendly website using Google Sites as a centralized information portal for the priority programs of Gayungan Village, Surabaya. Employing a qualitative approach with the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method, the research stages included planning, analysis, design, and implementation. Data were collected through observation, interviews with community members and village officials, and literature study. The outcome is a fully functional website featuring key sections such as Homepage, Profile, Priority Programs, WhatsApp Groups, and Public Services. The design prioritizes usability, visual clarity, and intuitive navigation tailored for both residents and village staff. The novelty of this research lies in the practical application of the lightweight Google Sites platform, integrated with principles of User Interface design from Visual Communication Design, to solve a real-world problem of governmental communication and public outreach at the local level. This case study demonstrates a cost-effective and sustainable model for digital socialization that can be replicated by other villages.
