I'm in a strange position
Hi StephanieOHanle! Welcome to E-Learning Heroes. What you’re describing is super common. A lot of course designers know how to build and design great courses, but then they get asked to manage them in an LMS or WordPress setup like LearnDash. That’s a whole different skill set.
Right now’s a great time to be in e-learning. And since Articulate is the most used tool out there, finding clients who use it or want it won't be an issue.
If you run into web dev type issues again, just hop into the forums and ask. LearnDash is pretty popular, so odds are good you’ll find someone who can point you in the right direction or even help out.
It was a bit more complicated than that. They were on LearnDash Cloud and were unable or did not want to give me SFTP access. I couldn't change their templates so they were very unhappy with the look of their quizzes on LearnDash. I didn't find LearnDash hard. I couldn't change the default templates without access. They didn't have the budget for Articulate.
I work with WordPress and I've taken courses in both classic WordPress and the block editor.
I don't mean to sound defensive. I have web dev skills but without access to the back end, it doesn't work out. I am curious to know how you find clients who hire folks for Articulate.
Got it. Sorry for misunderstanding your first comment. That is frustrating. Without the SFTP, you can't do much other than swap themes and some light css editing in most cases.
