How I built a public website for a pesantren around one constraint: the staff publish news, programs, and galleries on their own, with no developer in the loop.

The Problem

The pesantren needed one public place for its profile, programs, and activities, and a way for its own staff to keep that information current without relying on a developer for every update.

The Approach

  • Listed the content the pesantren needs to publish regularly, then modelled each type as its own CMS form instead of free-form pages.
  • Built the public site to be responsive, so it reads well on both phones and desktops.
  • Kept the admin simple enough for non-technical staff to use on their own.
  • Gave news and article posts their own pages, so new content can be published and shared without touching the layout.

I built the Bumi Santri Ar-Rumi website end to end, delivered through Triglobs. This page covers the content-operations decisions; the client-facing summary is on the Triglobs project page.


The site was designed backwards from the editor, not only the visitor: the people updating it are pesantren staff, so each content type (institution profile, programs, activities, news, photo gallery) is a simple form in the CMS. Visitors get a responsive public site on desktop and mobile; staff get a publishing workflow that does not need a developer. I use the same CMS myself to add articles.
