This study aims to develop a website as an information service source for the Indonesian Plantation Museum’s Collections. The research is based on issues such as the lack of digital access to museum collections and insufficient descriptive information, and has social significance in expanding access to cultural information to the general public, especially the younger generation, as well as supporting the preservation of historical heritage through digital media. The study applied the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and incorporated a User-Center Desgin (UCD) approach to understand user needs. Data were collected through a survey involving 152 museum visitors and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings show that 90.79% of respondents expressed a high need for digital access to collection information, with the most desired features being detailed collection descriptions, interactive media, and simple navigation. The website was developed using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. It features digital collections, gallery, museum news, activity updates, and profile pages, and includes QR code integration for offline visitors. Formative evaluation indicates that the developed website aligns with user needs and preferences. This website is expected to serve as a digital preservation tool and improve access to museum collection information through technology.
