However, no evaluation has been carried out, especially to end users. To produce an optimal website, it is necessary to apply the principles of user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). So in this research, an evaluation of the Eigen Natur Indo website prototype was carried out based on the basic principles of UI and UX. The research method used is a qualitative method, which is based on data from observation, interview, and analysis, including usability testing activities. The user test involved five end users who were asked to run certain scenarios on the prototype website, and then evaluated and interviewed the users regarding the problems faced on the interface. In general, findings or insights were obtained that can be used as recommendations for website development, namely the need for more effective user flow, certain navigation with shapes and sizes that are more recognizable and consistently placed, the selection of appropriate design elements, and the addition of notification features.
