Indonesian people tend to perform self-medication. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency in 2014, 90% of the Indonesian people perform self-medication with modern therapy (generic drugs and mandatory drugs from pharmacies). Furthermore, 20% of Indonesian people perform selfmedication with traditional therapy. According to Susenas data in March 2017, the provinces that still use traditional therapy intensely are West Sumatra and West Nusa Tenggara. Even though Indonesian people perform self-medication very often, lately, Indonesian people are turning away from traditional therapy to modern therapy. Entering the new era of digitalization, it is important for all sector to adapt to the current condition so that it will not be left behind, especially for knowledge-based sector. This research aims to make digital information media that is easily understood by its user about preventing hypertension and hyperlipidemia with herbs. These two diseases are chosen because among all other diseases, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are diseases that have a high number of sufferers in Indonesia. According to the Riskesdas data in 2018, the prevalence of hypertension was 34.1 percent while the prevalence of hyperlipidemia was 39.8 percent. Then, the choice of digital information media in this research is to use website. The website is created by using a content management system (Wordpress) and the website is named E- Herbs.org. The main content of the E-Herbs.org website was extracted from Materia Medika Indonesia and Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. Then, the content of the E-Herbs.org website was developed by reading supporting references such as current research and publications. The literature and references that are being used in this research were collection of School of Pharmacy Institute Technology Bandung library, and online databases such as Elsevier and Research Gate. After the Website has been successfully created, a user testing is conducted using the direct interview method. The testing resulted in 55% of users said the E-Herbs.org website was interesting and 45% users said the E-herbs.org website was ordinary.
