Society is currently making efforts to preserve local culture, including folklore. However, many folktales are starting to be forgotten, such as one folktale about the origin of the Pattuddu dance from West Sulawesi. This research aims to create a web application that presents folk tales from West Sulawesi, which can introduce and help understand the cultural values contained within them. This research uses a qualitative method, employing web programming languages such as PHP, HTML, JavaScript, Bootstrap, CSS, and Blender. Data collection was conducted through literature study and interviews with cultural figures. The research was conducted in the districts of Polewali Mandar and Pinrang over two months in 2024. The test results show that the application functions according to the specified specifications, with features such as text, folk tale animations, a gallery displaying photos and videos related to the culture of the folk tales, and moral messages. This application can enhance accessibility and interest in folklore, especially in the digital era.
