The most prevalent diseases associated with the Aedes aegypti have high social impact, since they result in absenteeism, impacts on social security and the health system, with high spending on campaigns to prevent and combat the vectors. In this context, based on the concern with the increase in cases of diseases transmitted by this vector, this research aims to describe the creation and validation of a website applied to the fight against Aedes aegypti. This is a study of technology development and validation. The website was developed in five phases: definition, content selection, development, and implementation, later moving on to its validation. Ten expert judges participated in the technology validation process in response to an instrument validated for the research. The website content was validated using a Likert scale. The validation performed by the judges and of the response items of the scale used, the website reached the index of 95% agreement among the expert judges and a Content Validity Index of 0.95. The was validated and considered a good tool for use in public health, being able to contribute to the control and monitoring of the vector and the diseases caused by it for its open and interactive nature.
