INTRODUCTION
In the ever-evolving modern era, international
trade acts like a railroad engine that drives economic growth and development
in Indonesia (Minayora, 2019). International trade expands the reach of
countries, transcends domestic boundaries, and opens up access to international
markets. This encourages increased production on a larger economic scale. One
of the driving factors of international trade in this modern era is the
development of the internet, which allows the global exchange of goods to
reduce the cost of exporting goods to certain markets.
The Internet is also a means of communication
between objects in the physical world and the virtual world connected by
various sensors, multi-layered structures, and communication protocols that
have various types with system specifications (Danev,
2021). Proving that today the Internet has become a
basic need for many people. The ability to access information, communicate, and
utilize various online services makes it an integral part of the routine of
life. Not surprisingly, the number of internet users around the world continues
to grow rapidly. It can be seen based on the number of statistics of internet
users around the world in 2024 sourced from Data Reportal web
exploadingtopics.com.

Figure 1 above defines that large population
country such as China, India, and the United States top the list of the most
internet users. This is due to factors such as large populations, developed
infrastructure, and government policies that support internet access. China,
which has the largest population in the world, leads with over 1.1 billion
internet users. India, takes second place with over 825 million users. The
United States, on the other hand, has over 318 million internet users.
The rapid growth in internet usage is not only
happening in developed countries, but also in developing countries such as
Indonesia, Brazil, and Nigeria are also showing a significant increase.
Indonesia, with a population of more than 277 million, now has more than 200
million internet users, placing it fourth in the world. The results of these
data can provide benefits for companies in using the internet not only for
communication media, but also provide benefits for companies who want to open
opportunities to market their products. Conversely, for consumers, the internet
offers a variety of options for buying and selling activities.
According
to (Ravi
& Rajasekaran, 2023) the use of internet technology and digital
marketing tools that can be used more effectively to improve traditional
marketing strategies because the word digitalization has begun to understand
the world. Another opinion says that digital marketing is a promotional
activity and market search through digital media online using various facilities
such as social networks (Hasanah,
Mashar, & Darmaji, 2020). This statement can support that more consumers
are shopping online, especially with the many discounts offered, attractive
appearance and easy-to-track delivery, which will lead to attitudes, trust,
adaptation, value and quality towards companies that sell a product.
Based
on research conducted by (Hopia,
Maryam, Saiddah, Gadzali, & Ausat, 2023) research on the Yogya Grand Subang company state
that online business affects consumer buying energy and has a significant
effect on increasing sales. One of the business media that can be used in
business development via the internet is digital marketing development using a
website.
A
website is a series of web pages that are connected to each other and interrelated
with existing files (Syahputri,
Rizkya, Siregar, & Syardhi, 2021). Websites are also usually used for companies as
a medium in developing company branding and promotional media. (Setiyaji
& Anggitya, 2017).
PT
ALs Pra Capital is a trading company located in Bandung, Indonesia, with
extensive expertise in import-export. Starting from raw material trading, the
company now also handles components, agricultural products and forestry
products. PT Als Pra Capital emphasizes the importance of building long-term
and collaborative relationships with clients as well as suppliers, committed to
providing reliable services and exceeding expectations. The company specializes
in managing commercial flows, exporting products, and handling international
projects. Their business model focuses on a thorough evaluation of the
objectives of all parties involved, ensuring every transaction is profitable
and flawless. By working together with integrity and professionalism, PT Als
Pra Capital aims to achieve mutual success and support sustainable growth in
the global trade industry.
From the results of interviews
conducted with Altis Prasetyo as the director of PT Als Pra Capital, that in
2021 a website registered with in an export was created.

Capital

Export
Figure
2 illustrates the utilization of the website for digital marketing which is not
optimal because currently it only lists the company profile without providing
product sales features. As a result, PT Als Pra Capital still needs to find
customers by contacting them directly via email and is more focused on selling
business to business (B2B) than business to customer (B2C). Faced with this
problem, the author suggests that the company rebuild their website as the main
means for selling Damar Batu products with the HS code 13019022 In addition, it
is also necessary to make effective branding efforts so that the website not
only functions as a sales platform, but also as a tool to increase PT Als Pra
Capital's brand awareness and image in the global market. This effort is
expected to optimize the company's digital marketing strategy and increase
efficiency in reaching international customers.
An interview with Altis Prasetyo,
director of PT Als Pra Capital, revealed that the company has successfully
exported Damar Batu products to India in the amount of approximately $156,000
per quarter. However, in line with the company's goal to expand its export
market, it is expected to explore export opportunities to other potential
countries. Below are data on the export potential of Stone Resin products in
other countries:

Table 1 shows potential export
opportunities that can attract buyers through the website, not only to India
but potentially to expand the global market. To support the creation of the
website, it is necessary to apply SWOT analysis and STP analysis, as well as
improve the display of data on the website using the design thinking tool
method.
SWOT
analysis, which stands for Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses, and Threats,
is one of the most popular strategies in the world and can be used as a tool for
long-term planning (Puyt, Lie, De Graaf, & Wilderom, 2020). The utilization of SWOT analysis is very
important to evaluate the company's internal and external factors that affect
the ability of a product (Susilawaty & Lubis, 2023). In addition to SWOT analysis, the author also
applies STP analysis to develop marketing strategies.
STP analysis or (Segmentation, Targeting,
Positioning) is the core of strategic marketing that involves providing value
through product features, price, distribution, and on-going communication (Kotler, Keller, Brady, Goodman, & Hansen, 2016). Analyzing potential market segments can
determine the right target segment and design the optimal positioning of Damar
Batu products, so the author will use this information to develop an effective
marketing strategy. By combining the results of the two analyses, the author
can design an effective and innovative digital marketing strategy, and use the
results of the analysis as the basis for the prototype design developed through
the design thinking tool method.
Design
thinking method which consists of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and
test stages (Sidabutar, Seah, & Singgalen, 2023). This process can produce products in the form
of prototypes that are expected by using procedures that are able to solve
problems appropriately (Rabbani, 2021). In order to create a website for PT Als Pra
Capital, the design thinking stage will be used to design innovative and
effective marketing solutions. This process starts with understanding user
needs and formulating problems, then developing ideas and prototyping. Finally,
the testing phase will involve usability testing and heuristic evaluation to
assess the effectiveness and usability of the website, so as to increase export
sales of Damar Batu products and achieve optimal website prototype results.
There are several
objectives that can be concluded from this research, namely:
1.
Developed
and implemented an effectively designed prototype website to support the
digital marketing of Damar Batu products in the international market.
2.
Determine
and include important features and digital content on the website to support
increased export sales of Damar Batu products.
Based on the
research objectives above, the following benefits can be concluded:
1.
For
the author, this research will provide an in-depth understanding of website
design and development and effective digital marketing strategies, which will
enhance his professional and academic abilities, as well as enrich the academic
literature on digital marketing optimization in the context of export products
such as Damar Batu, which can be used as a reference for future related
studies.
2.
For
business actors of PT Als Pra Capital, the research results are expected to
make the website prototype a reference for selling Damar Batu products, which
directly contributes to increasing company revenue and strengthening the
competitive position in the global market by attracting more potential buyers
from various countries.
3.
The
results of this research can serve as a basis for further research that studies
how to optimize websites and digital marketing, especially for export products.
The empirical data collected will also be useful for other researchers in
developing more effective digital marketing theories and practices.
RESEARCH METHODS
1. Type
of Research
In research, qualitative research is research
that has descriptive and analytical properties, where descriptive means describing
and describing an event, phenomenon, and social situation under study, while
analysis means interpreting and comparing the research data.
Therefore, it can be concluded that qualitative
research is a method that uses narratives or words to describe and explain the
meaning of various phenomena, symptoms, and social situations, where the
researcher as the main instrument must understand the theory to analyze the
differences between theoretical concepts and the reality that occurs.

Figure 3.2.1 Is the location of
the PT Als Capital office, precisely located on Jl. Surya Sumantri No. 108
Sukagalih, Sukajadi, Bandung - West Java Indonesia 10164. The head office is
more focused on storing the administration of export activities while the
location of the Batu Damar farm is in central Kalimantan, Palangkaraya.
3. Research
Design
The main focus of the research is
on the problems faced by PT Als Pra Capital related to the lack of optimal
marketing of digital products through their website. Currently, PT Als Pra
Capital's website is not functioning properly because it only lists the company
profile without offering product sales features. Therefore, the author proposes
a more optimal website development through a study entitled "Optimization
of Website Development to Increase Export Sales of Stone Resin Products: Case
Study of PT Als Pra Capital." By using descriptive qualitative methods.
This research was conducted with
reference to a predetermined research paradigm, with the aim of designing the
right methodology and approach in order to achieve optimal research results. A
paradigm is a way of seeing, understanding, and interpreting, which serves as a
framework for thinking and basic beliefs that direct action.

Figure 4 Research
Paradigm
Data will be collected through
interviews, observations, and literature studies to understand the condition of
the company which will be used as the basis for website development.
Furthermore, the design thinking method will be applied to focus on creating a
user-oriented website, in order to identify the elements that need to be
included in the website to expand the export market for Damar Batu products.
The process of creating a
prototype will be carried out as an initial description of the PT Als Pra
Capital website, using a user interface which will then be tested for usability
through usability testing and heuristic evaluation. In addition, the design and
features of the new website will be tested to ensure its suitability to the
needs of the international market, as well as its ability to increase export
sales of stone resin products from PT Als Pra Capital.
Thus, this research is expected to
provide practical and academic solutions in optimizing digital marketing of
export products through the development of user-friendly websites and targeted
marketing strategies.
4. Data
and Data Sources
This research combines primary
data from in-depth interviews with the management and staff of PT Als Pra
Capital, as well as direct observation at the research site. Secondary data
includes academic literature, company documents, and reliable online information
related to digital marketing. The combination of these two data sources is
expected to provide a broad, comprehensive and thorough picture of the
challenges faced by the company and the solutions that can be applied.
5. Data
Collection Technique
The techniques used in collecting
data used in this study are divided into three, namely:
Interview is a method of obtaining
information through direct interaction between researchers and respondents,
either in person or through various communication platforms such as telephone,
Zoom, WhatsApp, and others, with the intention of collecting various relevant
information related to research objectives.
This technique is used by the
author to explore the digital marketing strategy that has been implemented.
Then, identify SWOT and STP analysis for the website development needs desired
by PT Als Pra Capital. Through question and answer sessions with directors and
management, researchers can get information directly from the most influential
parties in the company. After that, the author conducted interviews with
prospective website users in the design thinking stage.
This approach not only helps to
recognize successes and obstacles in digital marketing, but also clarifies
specific expectations and needs regarding the development of the company's
website.
The observation technique is a
method for observing the behavior and activities of participants at the
research site, where the author records directly with an approach that can be
structured or not, and can act as an active participant or objective observer.
The author will make observations by coming to the office of PT Als Pra Capital
on Jl. Surya Sumantri No. 108 Sukagalih, Sukajadi, Bandung - West Java
Indonesia 10164 to observe the digital marketing process of the website.
The method applied is a literature
study, where data is collected through research and summarization of various
sources such as books, journals, and previous studies. This qualitative
research focuses on a design that does not apply statistical analysis or
calculations, but aims to describe phenomena holistically and contextually, by
collecting data from natural environments and using researchers as the main
instrument.
6. Sampling

7. Data
Analysis Technique
1)
SWOT
The analysis technique that will
be used in this research is the SWOT method, which will be systematically used
to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats identified
through interview techniques with relevant parties at PT Als Pra Capital. The
data collected from this interview process will be the main foundation in
developing a website development strategy that is not only effective but also
responsive to changes in market dynamics and meets current consumer needs, so
as to increase the company's competitiveness in the information and
communication technology industry.
2)
STP
The STP (Segmentation, Targeting,
Positioning) technique was conducted to segment the potential market of PT Als
Pra Capital. The process starts with market segmentation to identify groups of
customers with similar characteristics. The next step is to target the most
promising segments to increase export sales of rosin stone products. Finally,
in the stage of developing a positioning strategy by designing a website that
highlights the advantages of the product and adjusts its message and design
according to the preferences of the target audience.
3)
Design
Thinking
In the digital marketing method,
there are empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test stages as follows:
a.
Empathize
The empathy stage is a stage that
focuses on the users of innovative products, so that designers can understand
what users think, say, feel, and do so that products can be made according to
their needs (Juniantari et al., 2023). The methods used in this research
include interviews, observations, and literature studies to collect important
data about the company.
b.
Define
The identification stage is to
identify problems faced by users. Considering that PT Als Pra Capital's website
has not been optimized, the author collects information from potential users
and the company to design website features that are more suitable and
effective.
c.
Ideate
This stage is carried out to evaluate
several creative ideas that have been defined from the defined results and
generate ideas that can be used to solve the problems obtained from the
previous process. In this stage, the authors discuss developing ideas thoroughly and thoroughly to solve the various
problems that have been identified. After that, an in-depth analysis will be
carried out on how each solution can be implemented effectively to optimize the
performance and function of PT Als Pra Capital's website, so as to meet user
needs and company goals.
d.
Prototype
The Prototype stage is directly used
to find out how users of the product are made, by finding solutions from the
previous stage. The author develops a prototype made using a user interface as
a design tool, which serves to visualize the concept and function of the
features to be implemented. This prototype not only helps in designing an
attractive and intuitive display for users, but also plays an important role in
testing and evaluating user interactions with the system.
Thus, this prototype is an essential
tool to ensure that the final design of PT Als Pra Capital's website meets the
desired quality standards and overall user needs.
e.
Test
It is the last stage of the design
thinking process, where this stage conducts experiments on users to measure the
efficiency and effectiveness of the product. Usually the results are in the
form of experience from users and feedback that is used for product evaluation.
The author will conduct testing using the heuristic evaluation method by
involving carefully selected evaluators. This evaluator will use questions
designed based on the aspects described by Sharma in section 2.2.9.2.
The author aims to gain in-depth
insight into the effectiveness and efficiency of the user interface design, as
well as to identify potential improvements needed. The results of this
evaluation will provide valuable input that will be used to refine the
prototype design so that it meets usability and comfort standards for users.

5. Design
Thinking
The analysis revealed that PT Als Pra Capital can
reduce digital marketing costs that were previously done through direct
messages or emails to loyal customers. By utilizing the website, PT Als Pra
Capital can now increase brand awareness and expand the global market, which
positively affects export sales of rosin. This research focuses on proposing a
website design prototype, which was designed using a design thinking approach
with five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
CONCLUSION
Based on the SWOT matrix analysis, PT ALS PRA
Capital has advantages in product quality and business network, but needs to
overcome weaknesses by optimizing the website to increase sales and expand
export markets outside India, as well as strengthen branding
(Weaknesses-Opportunities). In addition, the company should reduce reliance on
the business to business (B2B) model by developing a more effective sales
platform and strengthening digital marketing strategies to strengthen business
resilience (Weaknesses-Threats).
Segmenting, Targeting, and Positioning (STP)
analysis, PT ALS PRA Capital designed a marketing strategy that focuses on
countries with high demand for Stone Resin, such as India, China, and several
countries in Europe. Their target market is large companies in the chemical and
industrial sectors that require superior quality raw materials. The company
emphasizes the importance of high quality and sustainability in their
production process, and positions themselves as a trusted provider of Stone
Resin. PT ALS PRA Capital strengthens its branding image through effective
communication and utilization of digital marketing to better reach their target
market. These two analyses can be integrated through a design thinking approach
in creating a prototype website, which makes it easier to visualize and
implement these strategies.
By making design improvements, adding e-commerce
features such as product details, ordering, and order tracking, as well as
strengthening branding through company information that includes the vision,
mission, and marketing network of Damar Batu, PT ALS PRA Capital has achieved a
score of 88% in the heuristic evaluation on usability testing. These results
indicate that the optimization of the prototype website has reached a good
standard and is ready to be implemented to increase export sales of Damar Batu
products.
