I’m helping a teacher take over her website that’s hosted by FlyWheel and suspect is a template. A designer charges maintenance, but it could really use a do-over. Advice on taking back control?

What info does teacher need, and what’s a non-threatening way to review and possibly terminate contract?

Since it looks like Flywheel operates on Wordpress - anyone with access to the Wordpress login should be able to make changes. Because she likely has some kind of contract with them, you may want to verify - but looking at their site it looks like you can be added as a collaborator.

I wouldn’t look at it so much as ‘taking back control’ and maybe more as a freelancer coming in to do some additional work. Since FlyWheel is her “team” so to speak - I would just be communicative with them about changes you make since they will still need to manage maintenance after your work is done.

My guess is she doesn’t want to completely terminate her contract because you don’t want to take over permanent ongoing maintenance after the redesign?

Hello,
I worked as an in-house graphic designer since the beginning of my career and now want to transition to a ui/ux designer. Unfortunately I couldn't find any opportunities yet. I believe I can learn more on the go so I am interested in junior roles. I had some minor practices. I would like to get advice.

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.
