Modernizing Public Service: UNNES Students Redesign Kumpulrejo Village Official Website

Digital Transformation at Kumpulrejo Village Portal

A modernized digital portal officially launched on Oct. 29, 2026, replacing a standard blog interface with structured public service directories, as KOMPASIANA reported.

University students led the website redesign to make it easier for residents to find administrative guidance. Prior to the update, the Kelurahan Kumpulrejo site featured a rigid layout that complicated access to public service procedures and regional profiles. Universitas Negeri Semarang students participating in the UNNES GIAT 17 community service program in Kelurahan Kumpulrejo, Argomulyo subdistrict, Salatiga City, initiated the official village website modernization program to address these issues. The older interface used a basic blog layout with rigid visuals, unstructured menus, and confusing paths that frequently prevented visitors from finding vital public service procedures and regional profiles.

The overhaul organizes institutional structures and municipal profiles into clear categories. The updated platform ensures mobile responsiveness so residents can review requirements on smartphones before visiting the village office.

“The results of the website updates were submitted directly to the sub-district government,” said Dina Pramestya Rini, SS, Secretary of Kumpulrejo Sub-district, receiving the platform on October 29, 2026.

Student Team Leads Redevelopment Work

Januar Pancaran Nur Fajri, a student from Semarang State University, designed and developed the digital platform during the UNNES GIAT 17 community service program. The initiative bridges academic information technology training with municipal administrative needs in the Argomulyo subdistrict of Salatiga City.

Village administrators can now distribute official announcements and documentation efficiently.
