Kata Kunci : Company Profile. Travel. Online Marketing. Website. Marketing INTRODUCTION PT KLS is a company engaged in the travel sector. Along with the development of information technology, the use of websites as a means of marketing has become a common thing for companies. Websites provide advantages for companies in terms of increasing brand awareness, connecting with customers, and providing complete information about the products or services offered. However, currently PT KLS does not have an adequate website as a means of marketing. Therefore, it is necessary to design a company profile website as a means of marketing at PT KLS. Related to this, the author wants to raise the topic of designing a web-based company profile as a marketing tool at PT KLS. The author believes that a well-designed website can help PT KLS in increasing brand awareness, increasing marketing effectiveness, and making it easier for customers to get information about the products or services offered. In designing a company profile website, the author will use web-based technology that allows PT KLS to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about the products or services offered. In addition, the author will also pay attention to factors such as user needs, attractive appearance, and easy-to-use website functionality to ensure that the website can provide a good experience for visitors. It is hoped that the results of the design of this company profile website can help PT KLS in increasing marketing effectiveness and developing its business further. In addition, it is hoped that this research can also make a positive contribution to the development of information systems used by companies in general. II. THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS 1 Database A database is a collection of data that is logically interconnected and designed to obtain the data needed by an organization . Database definitions contain specifications for the data types, data structures, and constraints on which data is subsequently stored. It can be concluded that a database is a place to store data in bulk that can store various data. 2 Website A website is a collection of pages that contain data to display text information, images. Static or motion, animation, sound, and or a combination of all of them, websites can be static or dynamic which can be connected to network pages . 3 HTML HTML (Hypertext Markup Languag. is a programming language used to display website pages . HTML is also a flexible programming language and can be merged with several other programming languages such as PHP. ASP. JSP, and JavaScript. Multiple tags in an HTML document can specify how the text will be used.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheet. is a collection of commands to make your website better, such as making the text bigger and better, the colors for the background more attractive, and making the website look comfortable to use. 5 Laravel Laravel is an open-source PHP framework used to develop web applications. Laravel is designed to simplify the web application development process. 6 UML UML is a technique to develop a system by using a graphical language as a tool for documentation and being able to perform specifications on the system . 7 Bootsrap Bootstrap is a CSS framework used to create the appearance of a website. Bootstrap can provide ready-to-use classes and components . 8 PHP In creating websites, the majority of developers use PHP which is used for the development of a website using one scripting language. RESEARCH METHODS 1 Research Flow The Research Flow Method can be defined as a research flowchart that illustrates the steps to be followed in a study. This method is also one of the methods that is very easy to understand in the design of an application. Generally, this method applies a workflow in the form of a diagram, using standard symbols to indicate an activity, design conditions that refine the flow with many design steps. In the development of a company profile website design, the Research Flow approach becomes an effective method to ensure that the resulting design is not only visually appealing but also functional and aligned with user needs. The first stage in this method is needs identification, where in-depth research is conducted on the company's identity, target audience, and Data collected through interviews with stakeholders and industry trend analysis are used as the basis for determining the key elements that must be included in the website. At this stage, branding aspects such as colors, typography, and visual elements are established to align with the company's identity. The final stage in the Research Flow method is implementation and evaluation. After the final design is approved, developers begin coding the website using technologies such as HTML. CSS. JavaScript, and modern frameworks like React or Laravel, depending on the project's needs. The completed website is then retested to ensure performance, speed, and security before it is finally launched. Periodic evaluations are also necessary to ensure the website remains relevant and aligned with business developments and user needs. With this Research Flow method, the process of designing a company profile website becomes more systematic and data-driven, resulting in a professional, informative, and user-friendly website. After the website's needs and characteristics are determined, the next step is prototyping and testing. In this stage, wireframe sketches and prototypes are created using design tools such as Figma or Adobe XD. This design is then tested through usability testing methods with potential users to identify weaknesses and improve the user experience (UX). Aspects of navigation, responsiveness, and accessibility became the main focus to ensure that the website can be easily used on various devices and by all demographics. Jurnal Sistem Informasi dan Sains Teknologi Vol. 7 No. Februari 2025 ISSN 2684-8260 The results of this testing are analyzed and used to iterate the design to make the website more optimal before it is fully The following is an explanation of the flow of stages in system research with flowcharts: Image 1.

The website helps enhance the company's credibility and expand its customer reach. After the system is running, there is a proposal system made by the designer, namely the proposal system. The proposed activity system is as follows: Jurnal Sistem Informasi dan Sains Teknologi Vol. 7 No. Februari 2025 ISSN 2684-8260 Image 3. Proposed Activiy Diagram. Sebelum membangun sebuah situs web, penerapan Use Case Diagram sangat penting untuk memahami bagaimana pengguna akan berinteraksi dengan sistem. Use Case Diagram helps in identifying the main actors, such as administrators, customers, and visitors, as well as determining the main functions that must be available. For example, in the design of a company profile website, some main use cases include viewing company information, contacting customer service, and accessing the project portfolio. With this mapping, developers can design features that users truly need, making the website more functional and effective. In addition, the Use Case Diagram also helps in anticipating technical requirements before the development phase This diagram allows the team to see the relationships between features and avoid design errors from the Misalnya, jika pengguna ingin menghubungi perusahaan melalui formulir kontak, sistem harus memastikan Jurnal Sistem Informasi dan Sains Teknologi Vol. 7 No. Februari 2025 ISSN 2684-8260 bahwa data yang dikirim disimpan dengan benar dan diteruskan ke email admin. With this approach, each feature on the website has a clear purpose and can be tested gradually before full implementation, ensuring that the website optimally meets the needs of the business and users. With this activity, the designer also compiles a use case before creating a website: Image 4. Proposed Use Case Diagram.
