<![CDATA[Korong Kampuang Surau, located within Nagari III Koto Aua Malintang, West Sumatra, has historically relied on conventional, non-digital media such as physical bulletin boards, mosque loudspeakers, and word-of-mouth communication to disseminate territorial and administrative information. This centralized informational gap leaves residents, particularly those working or residing far from the village center, without reliable access to essential administrative updates, geographical potential, and emergency services. This community service initiative aimed to design, deploy, and hand over a website-based village profile information system as an application of Appropriate Technology (Teknologi Tepat Guna) to bridge this digital divide. Conducted from July to August 2026, the program targeted 10 direct beneficiaries comprising core village officials and community representatives. The methodology integrated participatory software development with structured digital literacy training and continuous mentoring, encompassing phases of observation, problem identification, UI/UX design, deployment, and management workshops. Program evaluation utilized the System Usability Scale (SUS) alongside pre-test and post-test assessments to measure user perception and administrators' technical comprehension. The primary output is an open-access village profile website equipped with village history, organizational governance structures, an interactive territorial map, emergency contact channels, news updates, and documentation galleries. Usability evaluation yielded an average SUS score of 87.25, categorizing the system as "Excellent," while technical comprehension among the five core administrators rose significantly from a pre-test average of 41 to 87 post-training. These findings demonstrate substantial readiness among rural leadership to independently manage digital infrastructure, offering a replicable framework for rural digital transformation and enhancing administrative transparency.]]>
