This study evaluates the visual-interface quality of the LMS-AKN Pacitan website through the Visual Aesthetics of Websites Inventory (VISAWI), an instrument built specifically to capture how users perceive a site's visual appeal across four facets: Simplicity, Diversity, Colorfulness, and Craftsmanship. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data were gathered through a questionnaire completed by 39 active students who had used the LMS-AKN Pacitan platform for at least one semester. Findings place the website's overall interface quality in the “good” category, with an aggregate mean score of 3.69 on a five-point Likert scale. Craftsmanship recorded the highest score (3.91), followed by Simplicity (3.87), Diversity (3.55), and Colorfulness (3.42); all four facets fell within the “good” range, suggesting that the interface is straightforward, easy to navigate, and professionally presented. Even so, the comparatively lower Colorfulness and Diversity scores point to room for improvement in color choice and visual variety to further boost user engagement. This study contributes to the growing body of work on digital-learning interface design in higher education and offers practical recommendations for refining the UI toward a more attractive, comfortable, and effective learning experience. Subsequent research is encouraged to pair VISAWI with usability testing and to draw on a larger respondent pool for more generalizable conclusions.
