DPPAI UII

The Directorate of Islamic Education and Mentoring (DPPAI) at Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) is central to promoting Islamic values and educational programs both on and off campus. As a crucial arm of UII, DPPAI needed a website that could effectively communicate its mission, streamline its educational programs, and engage with the UII community and beyond. However, the previous website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and did not fully support the needs of the diverse and growing audience it served. To address these challenges, DPPAI partnered with Kresuber Digital to redesign their website, optimize it for search engines, and provide ongoing support and maintenance.

Problems and Solutions:

Problem 1: Outdated Design and Inefficient User Experience
The previous DPPAI website had an outdated design that did not align with the modern and dynamic nature of the university. The layout was cluttered, making it difficult for users to find information about religious education programs, community events, and organizational updates.

Solution:
Kresuber Digital executed a complete redesign of the website, focusing on a clean, modern aesthetic that reflects DPPAI’s commitment to educational excellence and Islamic values. The new design features an intuitive layout, making it easier for visitors to navigate and access the information they need. We also integrated vibrant visuals and multimedia elements to engage users and enhance their overall experience.

Problem 2: Limited Functionality for Educational Programs
The old website lacked the necessary functionality to effectively support DPPAI’s diverse educational programs, which range from religious mentoring to leadership training and community service initiatives.

Solution:
We developed a robust content management system (CMS) that allows DPPAI to easily update content, share news, and manage educational programs. The new website includes dedicated sections for each program, allowing for easy access to schedules, resources, and registration forms. This has streamlined the management of these programs and made it easier for students, staff, and community members to participate.

Problem 3: Lack of Mobile Optimization
With an increasing number of users accessing the site via mobile devices, the old DPPAI website was not mobile-friendly, leading to a poor user experience on smartphones and tablets.

Solution:
We designed the new DPPAI website with a mobile-first approach, ensuring that it provides an optimal experience on all devices. The responsive design adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, allowing users to easily access information, register for programs, and engage with DPPAI’s content on the go.

Design & Development:

Kresuber Digital worked closely with DPPAI to create a website that not only looks modern but also serves as a powerful tool for promoting Islamic education and community engagement.

User-Centric Design:
The redesigned website features a user-friendly interface that prioritizes accessibility and ease of use. The homepage highlights key initiatives, upcoming events, and news updates, making it easy for visitors to quickly find relevant information. We also included a dedicated section for student services, allowing them to engage with religious programs and resources effectively.

Interactive Event Calendar:
To help DPPAI better serve its community, we developed an interactive event calendar that allows users to view upcoming events, register online, and even sync events with their personal calendars. This feature has made it easier for the UII community to stay informed about religious and educational activities.

Content Management System (CMS) Integration:
We integrated a powerful CMS that enables DPPAI’s team to easily manage content, update program information, and share news. The CMS was customized to meet the specific needs of DPPAI, ensuring that the website remains up-to-date and relevant.

SEO & Performance Optimization:

To ensure that DPPAI’s website reaches its intended audience and ranks well in search engines, Kresuber Digital implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy.

Targeted SEO Strategy:
We conducted extensive keyword research to identify search terms relevant to DPPAI’s programs and mission. These keywords were strategically incorporated into the website’s content, meta tags, and URLs to improve search engine rankings. Additionally, we optimized the site’s structure to enhance its visibility and relevance in search results.

Local SEO Focus:
Given DPPAI’s focus on engaging with the local community, we placed a strong emphasis on local SEO. This included optimizing the website for location-based searches and ensuring consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information across directories. These efforts have helped DPPAI connect with a broader audience within the UII community and beyond.

Performance Enhancements:
Website speed and performance are crucial for user satisfaction and SEO. We implemented several performance optimizations, including image compression, browser caching, and code minification, to improve page load times. These enhancements have resulted in a faster, more responsive website that provides a better user experience.

Support & Maintenance:

Kresuber Digital continues to provide ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that DPPAI’s website remains secure, up-to-date, and fully functional.

Continuous Security Monitoring:
We have implemented advanced security measures to protect the website from potential threats. Regular security audits, updates, and monitoring are conducted to maintain the site’s integrity and safety.

Regular Content and System Updates:
To keep the website performing optimally, we provide regular updates to the CMS, plugins, and other systems. This not only improves site performance but also ensures compatibility with new devices and technologies.

Technical Support:
Our support team is always available to assist DPPAI with any technical issues, updates, or improvements. We are committed to ensuring that the website continues to meet the organization’s evolving needs and remains a valuable asset for promoting Islamic education and community service.

Impact on End Users:

The redesigned DPPAI UII website has significantly improved user engagement, making it easier for the UII community to access information, register for programs, and connect with educational resources. The enhanced performance and mobile accessibility have also led to higher participation rates in religious and educational activities. Feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the website’s modern design and ease of use.
