<![CDATA[Background: Information technology-based village development is essential for enhancing public services and government transparency. However, the utilization of the Grogol Village website remained suboptimal due to the limited technical skills of village officials. Objective: To address this issue, a community service initiative was conducted to improve the competence of village officials and cadres in website management using OpenSID and WordPress. Method: The program was delivered through lectures, hands-on practice, and ongoing mentoring. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a post-test for participant comprehension and a five-point Likert scale questionnaire to assess overall satisfaction regarding materials, facilitators, facilities, and benefits. Results: The results demonstrated a significant increase in participant competence, with post-test scores ranging from 53.3% to 86.7%. The highest achievement was recorded in the OpenSID menu indicator (86.7%), whereas social media integration scored the lowest (53.3%). Overall participant satisfaction was categorized as good to very good, highlighted by a peak mean score of 4.6 out of 5 for the program's usefulness. Conclusion: further mentoring is strongly recommended particularly focusing on social media integration, website security, and digital content creation to ensure the village website is managed optimally and sustainably over the long term.]]>
