Abstract

A tour website is a way used by the owner to communicate to the website users. This article examines the model of multimodal communication in the travel agency website. The purpose of this study is to describe the components of multimodal communication of the website. The data source was the Gangga Bali website. The data were collected by observing the verbal and visual modes. The analysis proceeded with the model of multimodal communication through Kress’ multimodal social semiotic model. The study shows the website owner that built information, message, and interaction with the website users through the design. The design involves verbal and visual modes. The visual modes used are images and website layout, and they are supported by verbal modes. Four major components of the multimodal communication model illustrate the process of transferring information by the rhetor to the interpreter through the website.
